Indeed. You should take your own advice.
That's not a substantive response.
I did. Borg nanoprobes assimilated 29th century Federation technology without a problem.
That's not proof, because you haven't proven that 29th century Federation > Star Wars.
But if you insist...
Borg insert their nano-probes into a piece of technology. The nanoprobes then use the surrounding material to replicate (Yes they can eat molecules of Durasteel) and spread, eventually taking control over the computer system. They're self sufficient so even one nanoprobe can assimilate a human, creating Borg devices within the human body and overtaking the nervous system and brain. The only thing that might slow them down is all the copper wires found in Star Wars Tech, which doesn't have the speed, data bandwidth, or power rating required to run most things in a Star Wars universe.
Because obviously Star Wars wouldn't have, say computer defense systems?
Not to mention that:
1. the borg cube would have to get within range to do such a thing
2. probes would have to go through the shields
3. nano-technology is indeed in Star Wars, and they'd thus have defenses against that
4. how does this help them? if they somehow succeed, they get one star destroyer that would take years to reverse engineer, and then have to take on the entire Star Wars galaxy.
How would they get to the other Universe in the first place? This is a fictional battle.
How about this: the two galaxies are placed side by side, with a suspension of disbelief discounting the huge gravitational problems that would cause. Fair?
No I'm not. That's what a cloaking device is.
Which Star Wars has methods to detect.
Yes because a cloaking device wouldn't EVER hide gravity distortions...
Prove that they do.
It's a cloaking device. It hides all energy and gravity distortions. That's what it does. And since when can star destoryers shoot light minutes away? Do you even KNOW how far a light minute is? By your argument, Two ships NEVER have to be near each other to destroy each other. Since that has NEVER been the case as seen on any of the movies, your argument is epic fail.
Not only that but unless a turbolaser moves faster than the speed of light (Bet you're going to claim it does), moving out of the way is trivial.
Also, it's true that ships could likely move out of the way. However, star destroyer have a pretty fast rate of fire and a lot of turbolasers. All it takes it ONE hit and the Defiant is history.
Shield? I didn't say that. I said they can't beam into the shield generator bunker. You know the building the Rebels blew up in Return of the Jedi? That building. Can't beam inside. Outside? Sure. The energy from the power generator is safely contained within the bunker so anything outside is safe to beam up.
The planetary shield would still disrupt the transporters.
Yes because shuttles usually fly into the atmosphere of a planet at 50% the speed of light...
Oh, in atmosphere? Do you expect a space age shuttle to take 30 minutes to land?
You mean the planetary shields that allow physical objects to pass through them? Yes I can see those as being VERY effective at stopping a matter stream...
Or are you going to claim that Endor was completely covered by a shield?
Actually, they had to trick the imperials into lowering the shield.
What part of Cloaking Device did you not understand? Even Star Wars has them so they must be effective.
Ok, so let's assume without any evidence that the cloaks hide gravity distortions. After that, how do they get away? I doubt that the Defiant can use cloaking tech while going warp, so Star Wars ships would detect the Defiant with its sensors. Star Wars hyperdrive it at least 1000 times faster than warp drive based on footage evidence; therefore, the Defiant would be hunted down.
You're reading comprehension is epic. I never said anything about the durability of the door. I was talking about how it opens and locks.
Jedi have been shown to be able to open locks. Therefore, the blast doors would have to have been electronically opened, which destroys your stance.
....
A Star Destroyer get's destroyed when a single fighter flies through the bridge. Also, they are unable to withstand asteroids. (Hence why they were shooting them in Empire Strikes Back) If the shields were as powerful as you say, they should be able to fly through the asteroid field at full speed without any damage.
Watch more carefully. The A wing flew into the Executor RIGHT AFTER its shields were specifically stated and shown to have been destroyed.
Who said they were going to do it?
And why would they bother?
Transporter + Explosives = Boom.
So they're going to beam onto every star destroyer, somehow sneak past the guards and get enough explosives to blow the thing up and do it to them all without raising an alarm?
Yeah... hand phasers don't but phaser rifles (you know, the ones they take to battle) do. You only use hand phasers for personal defense, never an assault.
The thing is that the Federation dudes typically use hand phasers, and phaser rifles are actually weaker than hand phasers, such negating their main advantage over blasters.
Why? It's not like you have any real argument of substance.
Don't dodge the argument. Counter my points. If you don't think that they have substance, it should be easy for you to tear apart my arguments and win the debate (but obviously it isn't, hence why you're dodging the point).
You're entire basis is on bigger numbers. That's it. That's your whole argument.
No it isn't, but even if it was, like it or not but numbers do matter. A 200 megaton bomb is more powerful than a 1 megaton bomb. Mach 2 jet fighters are far more powerful than <mach 1 bi planes.
Star Destroyer Shields have no frequencies,
So?
no concept of even how they work,
Are you suggesting that they make shields without knowing how to make them?
and the turbo lasers are the same.
Not only that but a Star Destroyer's docking bay is shielded from air but not ships which means a transporter beam could penetrate it.
You have proof of this, right?
First you should explain the principal behind Sheilds in Star Wars.
It's not known TO US, but does that really matter? If you want though, here's a link with educated speculation:
http://www.stardestroyer.net/Empire/Tech/Shields/Nature.htmlThen explain the principal of Trubolasers.
Some sort of really powerful plasma.
THEN I'll kick your ass with technobabble.

First counter my long list of Star Wars technologies which you cleverly dodged, and counter it with real Science and logic (not technobabble).
Let me ask you a question:
You still haven't explained how destroying the shield generator would matter because the Defiant would not be able to take out the Death Star. The Federation would need:
1. A large number starfighters capable of making >10,000 g turns
2. Very good pilots
3. Ships capable of holding off the imperial fleet
4. Technical data on the Death Star
Problems:
1. Star Trek starfighters and both rare and inferior to Star Wars starfighters
2. Maybe, maybe not.
3. As I have shown, the Enterprise would have to fire over 2 billion times to damage a star destroyer.
4. The Federation doesn't have that. They can't steal the plans because they have no idea where the Death Star is and their warp drives wouldn't be able to reach it. Even if they did have it, placing a fleet near the battlefield would be a giveaway. They'd have to keep the fleet out of Star Wars sensor range (which is pretty far) and then jump in, but warp drive is too slow for this because it would be weeks before they can get there, by which case Star Wars could have reinforced the battlesite or simply have left it.
