Super Star Destroyer Executor vs. 15 Omega Destroyers

Post by Yukaphile »

Just came across this thread on SpaceBattles.com, and... I literally facepalmed at how anyone could create such an obvious stomp. No, it wasn't done out of spite, they were using "Disney canon stats," but even with Disney canon stats, I can't comprehend how anyone could regard this as a fair fight. I mean, the Executor is shielded (the Destroyers are not) and is loaded with several hundred more fighters than the combined total of the Omega Destroyers at the minimum even while adhering to Disney stats. I've advanced through B5 enough to see how some light bracket of fire support from the Alexander and Babylon 5's own defense grid were able to bypass the interceptors on the Roanoke (which a few debaters were actually hyping up to near invincible status...) to completely cripple and then destroy said ship. The Executor can lay down much heavier fire from the hundreds, perhaps even thousands of light, medium, and heavy turbolasers, ion cannons, and anti-fighter batteries scattered all throughout the superstructure. Seriously, how did anyone think this was a good idea?!

My money on any space battle regardless of numbers is any species that can zip to the other side of the galaxy in a one-man ship with just space Depends and no bathroom.

the guy behind http://www.stardestroyer.net/toc.html wrote a story in which canon Star Wars tech meets canon Star Trek tech.

Ah, my favorite sci-fi crossover ever came from there - The Rift, by Noble Ire aka Pure Sabacc on FanFiction.net.

I find him to be generally competent, but he said the US Military could beat a Star Destroyer. That really hurt his credibility in my eyes. I'm hoping he'd make Beerus vs. Abeloth, though. Does he even know about Babylon 5, however?

I'm sure he knows about it, it's probably just not something that's interested him enough to go into any of it. I've never tried asking him, though. Not even sure how I would other than to leave a random comment on one of his videos and hope he read it.
