Please edit the lengthy ship shopping list of capacities. 10 minutes of robotic list reading is killing the story.

Yeah, this kind of information is only useful if you are doing a review of a game or some such. This is very tedious and I am only giving a thumbs up based on past content.

​@@caseyferrill6953plus its biased toward Trek. No mention of tractor beams or ion canons

[@WardenWolf]

@@Daemon2k15 The reality is that the power levels involved in the Star Wars universe, with thousands of years to mature and its gigantic ships, mean we're probably looking at weapons and other equipment that sound similar but are actually on a completely different level.

Honestly, I hate how overpowered you made the Star Trek ships. I am a fan of both Star Wars and Star Trek, but, quite frankly, the power levels involved on each side are not even comparable, as is made evident by both their size and speed differences, as well as how long faster-than-light space travel has existed in the Star Wars universe, to the point technology has stagnated and, by the time of the movies, advances very slowly. Ships that are centuries old are sometimes still in service. We're talking thousands of years of advancement compared to a couple hundred. The one advantage Star Trek ships have is rapid precision targeting; starfighters would probably not be very effective against them, though due to the aforementioned technology maturity and power levels their shields might legitimately withstand it. But the reality is a Star Destroyer would pummel a Galaxy into submission and barely even break a sweat. Once you REALLY dig into the lore and capabilities of both sides, and go down both rabbit holes, sorry, the Federation is FUCKED. I don't see any Federation ships that can glass a whole planet within a day, something that a single Imperial Star Destroyer can do. And the Empire is also fully willing to do so to defeat the enemy, something the Federation would not stoop to.
