im gonna have to go with the enterprise...it can easily outmaneuver
an SD...it has better shielding, and even though i can find no corroborating data, i dont think the SD has the range that the enterprise has

So, what is the range of a Star Destroyer's weapons? Because IIRC, Starfleet vessels can engage from hundreds or even thousands of kilometers while I only remember seeing Star Destroyers engage at visual range.

In RotJ, the engagement initially takes place tens of thousands of kilometers away and later closes the gap.
I've been rewatching TNG and nearly halfway through season five; at what point does any incarnation of the Enterprise engage at "hundred thousand k plus"?
TOS Enterprise has something like 300,000km range with the phaser banks and about double with torpedos, iirc.
There are instances in TNG/DS9/VOY were "effective range" is stated at nubers over 100,000km. I can't recall exact episodes now, as it's beensome time, but I know I've read on them before.
OMG I remember that place! Rudy loved pointing to it.

TNG "The Wounded" indicates photon torpedo effective range is around 300k, but photon torpedoes have a small yield compared to ISD firepower, are much slower, and can be destroyed.
I can't find any conclusive ranges on phaser banks/arrays, but almost all combat takes place in relatively short ranges, perhaps a few km, and phaser/disruptor weapons can even miss.
