Youre missing my point lightsnake. I'm saying that you have no proof that Sidious invented these things or had the ideas for the inventions. As we see in DE, the empire contracts people after they see if there is anything of interest or benefit to the Empire, not necesarily invent things and then contract people to make them.

Wrong. Those designers and inventors in the Maw (the Empire's construction laboratory) were working specifically for the Empire. They weren't contracted like Kuat Drive yards.
Read DE II, prove that the creator of the world devastator(who was also th creator of the Galaxy Gun", was hired specifically to create those weapons for Palpatine.. And then you can prove how it was Palpatine's own creations. This should be interesting.. Next, I bet Palpatine invented the death star too right?
Meh...since when can normal technology be compared to force based technology ?
It took the Empire more than 5,000 years to develop something similar to Sadow's ship (the Sun Crusher). I haven't seen weapons in the size of a normal handgun (or some amulet) able to fire through massive stone walls so far (aside from miniature rocket-launchers if you want to count that) and I'm pretty sure some sceptre able to drain the force energy from certain places and create entire armies of force users on Jedi Knight level is also a pretty nifty toy.
Not to mention that the ability to destroy a planet is insignificant to the power of the force, as Vader put it in ANH.
If you want to judge "power" by technological advantage the constructors of Centerpoint Station would curbstomp the Empire and Sidious any day. "Hey, look. They're throwing planets at us with above lightspeed velocity." WTF ?

Since I'm to lazy to type it down:

Comparing the empire to the ancient sith would be like comparing us right now to the Roman Empire before the dark ages. Their technology was way ahead of their team, and some of the stuff they did we are using today. That'll give you an idea of how powerful and how advanced the sith were, in terms of their force based technology. Or maybe it'll tell you nothing except for the fact that I just finished watching ancient Roman engineering on the History Channel.

Huh ? The Sun Crusher fired resonance torpedos that caused chain reactions in stars thereby creating supernovas. Still said process literally took hours as seen when Kyp uses the Sun Crusher.
Sadow's ship is even more powerful basically creating "instant effects" not to mention how much power it would require to rip the core of a star off. Another thing the Sun Crusher couldn't do.
And this is not even mentioning the real hilarious stuff like the Shawkenese universe destroyer. Typical Marvel creation. 😉
