Hey! I was going to mention SDF-1, or rather, whatever SDF-1 was before it crashed on Earth and started the Robotech series. And why hasn't anyone mentioned the Death Star (with the exhaust port designed and shielded properly). In all honesty, there's so much we don't know about the conditions of space combat and the capabilities of the opposing force that much of this discussion is meaningless. Also, many of these comparisons are between universes with different physics. For example, Star Trek space combat (borrowing from 19th cent. naval tradition) doesn't involve small fighter craft at all, while Star Wars space combat (borrowing from 20th cent. naval tradition) is almost all about fighter craft. We don't know if shields are even possible, what kinds of weapons are available (and what speeds do they travel at, by the way?). What speeds the ships are capable of, and so on. For all we know, the most effective weapon could be the wake from a bussard ramship... -- Matt _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
