Re: Starfleetjedi and SDN
hold on...I'll go look for them.
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Re: Starfleetjedi and SDN
the Conclusion of Shielding Tech:
Here's an example of the "Dramatic canon I've been talking about:
ect. ect.
here's one where he claims that the lasers used by SW would be effecive:SDN wrote:Federation shield technology is clearly in the low megaton range for resistance. The evidence for this is simply overwhelming, regardless of whether you employ the TM or not, and since Imperial shields are rated at a much higher level, there is really no contest at all. The high-megaton and gigaton-class missile weapons of a patrol craft like Slave-1 could effortlessly destroy any Federation warship with a direct hit, to say nothing of the much heavier weapons on an Imperial capital ship.
Here he makes the case that Fed Shields are dramaticly weaker than they are:Contrary to popular belief, electromagnetic weapons can be quite effective against Federation shields.
The Constitution had nearly 600,000 TeraJoules of energy. A TJ = 1 TeraWatt-secondFederation shield power requirements are in the gigawatt range as of late TOS.
Here's an example of the "Dramatic canon I've been talking about:
It's highly likely that the phase resonant pulse idea was put in so the GCS wouldn't utterly dominate the enemy, and they could escape allowing the plot to continue.A "phase resonant pulse" at the "right frequency" will completely bypass GCS shields24.
ect. ect.

Lasers are indeed effective against Trek shields.here's one where he claims that the lasers used by SW would be effecive:
Contrary to popular belief, electromagnetic weapons can be quite effective against Federation shields.
Also, while debating the pros and cons of lasers versus shields is fine, remember the versus ban and keep Star Wars out of it. This debate is close enough to the line as it is.
1) Prove it.Here he makes the case that Fed Shields are dramaticly weaker than they are:
The Constitution had nearly 600,000 TeraJoules of energy. A TJ = 1 TeraWatt-secondFederation shield power requirements are in the gigawatt range as of late TOS.
2) Assuming 1) is achieved, you do, I hope, understand that power requirements and energy dissipation rates are not the same thing.
Here's an example of the "Dramatic canon I've been talking about:
So what? The fact remains that this tactic is an effective method of disabling GCS shields.It's highly likely that the phase resonant pulse idea was put in so the GCS wouldn't utterly dominate the enemy, and they could escape allowing the plot to continue.A "phase resonant pulse" at the "right frequency" will completely bypass GCS shields24.

Re: Starfleetjedi and SDN
Upon reading over this last series of posts, I thing we should simpy adjourn, it's obvious we have different opinions and I for one don't really want to cross into a verses debate...agreed?

Re: Starfleetjedi and SDN
If everyone had the same opinion about everything, then this forum would be a fraction the size it is, and extremely boring. Having different opinions is no reason to abandon a debate - indeed, it's the very reason they occur in the first place.Lt. Staplic wrote:Upon reading over this last series of posts, I thing we should simpy adjourn, it's obvious we have different opinions
If you wish to concede the point then that's fine with me.
Given that they're banned that's never going happen. Discussing the issued raised, such as the finer points of weapons, shields and speed, is entirely kosher.I for one don't really want to cross into a verses debate...agreed?

Re: Starfleetjedi and SDN
We're not discussing any versus matter. We're discussing the validity of evidence used on another site which just happens to be orientated towards the VS debate. We've had a discussion on SDN before, though it was for a different matter.
2) He's explained elsewhere on his site as to why he concludes SW lasers would be effective against Fed shields.
Yes? So? Can you point out where he selectively uses or ignores canon? Stating "well his conclusion is different to mine" doesn't mean he's being dishonest in his methology. Find specific quotes that you think he's screwing with and voice your complaints about them.the Conclusion of Shielding Tech:Federation shield technology is clearly in the low megaton range for resistance. The evidence for this is simply overwhelming, regardless of whether you employ the TM or not, and since Imperial shields are rated at a much higher level, there is really no contest at all. The high-megaton and gigaton-class missile weapons of a patrol craft like Slave-1 could effortlessly destroy any Federation warship with a direct hit, to say nothing of the much heavier weapons on an Imperial capital ship.
1) This is a VS topic, and shall not be discussed any more unless the discussion is about the validity of the quotes he uses or of his methodology.here's one where he claims that the lasers used by SW would be effecive:

Source?The Constitution had nearly 600,000 TeraJoules of energy. A TJ = 1 TeraWatt-second
Irrelevant. His statement is still correct and true to canon.It's highly likely that the phase resonant pulse idea was put in so the GCS wouldn't utterly dominate the enemy, and they could escape allowing the plot to continue.

You going to respond to the points we've adressed, or are you conceding?

I'll conciede, I can't find the essay's that I read the last time I was on here, and appeareantly if I did it wouldn't matter.

Re: Starfleetjedi and SDN
Jebus Rochey & Seafort, you guys picked a lousy time to come on board at SDN. what with the ridiculous levels of personal drama and lack of leadership at the moment.

Seafort's been on a while now. I only recently realised the ban on free email accounts had been lifted in favour of a maths/science question.
But yeah, I see what you mean. I'm just going to keep my head down and stay out of the line of fire for now.

There is not a problem in this world that can't be solved without the proper application of a sufficient number of thermonuclear ordnance.

Edit: They've gone back to mod approved registration for now thanks to the "invasion" earlier in the week so I don't think their doing the question anymore.

Re: Starfleetjedi and SDN
Heh, looks like I managed to slip in while the gate was open.
Maybe they could have gone for a harder question? The one they had was a simple distance/time thing. Try something like a quadratic equation. That should weed out the trolls as it's not basic maths.

I also managed to get in. I used the named Daedalus-01.

Hey, us trolls need love too!
