Because the technology suppresses the person's individuality, instincts, and memory. They are essentially a vessel to carry out the hive's will.
If they can even do that... But the casualty's will still be incredibly high, and let them blow up a few droids more will come to fight.
I don't see why they wouldn't be able to. Drones have personal forcefields and lightsaber blades and blaster shots are energy are they not?
So size does matter afterall
To hold itself together, yeah. Enterprise E was getting fired at by that same ship with plasma torpedoes and taking pretty heavy damage, because they had stolen the shield frequency, but it held together after many, many hits.
and I'm just saying that those weapons never really destroyed an entire planet, so I don't know if they can do it... But seeing as they can hardly take out anything but a small ship fast I would seriously doubt it.
Don't jump to conclusions now. The newer movies without the suck technology were all about the Enterprise. A Federation ship. The good guys. Photon torpedoes are mainly Federation. Asking if photon torpedoes can destroy a planet is essentially asking if the good guys have ever bombed a planet.
They have disabled many-a-ships on the shows but generally don't go for the kill. The borg... oddly, I don't think they destroy a lot of big ships either. They beam them into their cube and disable it, board it, and strip it.
Just look at how much time they have between each shot fired at them, and the time to repair their shields and all that crap.
That's really a credit to their weapons isn't it?
Okay, but this is on a small ship how many of them could there be? How would they compare against those working on Coruscant or whatever.
On a science ship, there could be anywhere from 70-200 crew members. There are folks in space stations, their respective stations, and outposts that do research as well.
Right, so they can replace existing parts... And for SW its hardly impractical, if your only a few hours away sending one Super Star Destroyer to get upgrades isn't that impractical, one's it returns you send the new one.
That's really more of a credit to the travel speed. It isn't going to help unless they have to race somewhere or escape.
Far from... I'm just saying that they have limits with how much they can work together. Limits that SW does not seem to have, because of greater speed. Of course they are not alone but lets say somebody on earth develops a new weapon that could penetrate the deflector shields on the Death Star with some new material. In SW they could return to that planet get upgrades and attack the thing thousands of systems away all in one day. In ST that would take months.
How would somebody on Earth find out a material pierced the death star's shields? That's something you can only find out on the field or by stealing information. I suppose if they couldn't replicate it they could send a freighter and use wormholes. If it's that desperate of a situation, they can send the cargo back in time so it arrives quicker. Why a material and not a type of weapon that they could just modify torpedoes or phaser banks to be?
I know, but does it not seem reasonable to you that a ship build for war, who'se only purpose is to fight would naturally be more ready to fight then an ST ship that operates on its own, most of the time. SW is build for large scale fights. ST can fight, yes but they are not build for it. Their ships weren't build for destroying moons, planets or a lot of other ships. They don't have fighters or whatever they are for exploring mostly. They do fight and they can fight, but SW is designed for it.
Because they usually operate solo, they're designed to hold their own. A lot of the exploration ships are as heavily armed and armored as the gun ships, if not more as they don't have the luxury of back up most of the time.
Okay so they were scanning, whatever you want to call it. They were scanning and looking at the Death Star keeping their eye on it and they still didn't see it coming. Besides SW can jam those scanners. You don't just find out a way to stop that in seconds.
Star wars don't seem to be that great. Seeing all the shots of the screens, it looks like they're about as complex as an Atari.
I know after one shot they'll know to stay away from the giant circle but damn the movie's single borg cube! Really, I think the borg are their only hope in that case.
Try looking a few pages back, Janus made a huge post about it. I don't know by head anymore but at the end SW was just faster because it could reach unlimited speed, far faster then even that mystical warp 10 thing.
Hmm... Wikipedia describes it as closer to the space distorting method of travel. And that Star Trek does indeed use, or at least the concept, it for communications.
Oh, and the mystical warp 10 is infinite speed.
I would hardly call it a fetish, more smart thinking. If you are up against an enemy that you don't know about what are you going to attack first? The biggest thing you see or the smaller things? I would take out the biggest first, especially if I could do it with one shot.
Size isn't always relative to power. The future Janeway's ship had the power to destroy borg ships with one shot. And the Species 8472 bio ships could destroy them with one beam as well with their flower-like beam attack and all the ships needed to use that attack combined aren't as big as a borg cube, a star destroyer, or even an average star trek ship.
