Damn, this JMSpock guy is getting on my nerves and Im not even in the fucking debate!

Stagnant, right, fucking stagnant, he doesnt ONCE assume that they simply dont NEED any fucking new tech.
Antimatter, black hole engines? Why, fucking Hypermatter and their fusion engines have reactor outputs far higher than anything in Trek.
Phasers? Please, SW weapon engineers would fucking
at phaser yields.
Transporters? Why would anyone want to walk into an instant suicide machine?
Star Wars uses fusion power as its common source of power; Star Trek uses antimatter and artificial black holes.
HAHAHA, nice, because antimatter and artificial black holes SOUNDS more advanced and powerful than fusion, it MUST be better, nevermind the fact that never is NUCLEAR Fusion stated anywhere.
We can give all sorts of qualitative reasons as to why one should be more advanced (or more powerful) than the other, but the simple fact is that they're different (if related) visions of futuristic technology. What some people think would take 300 years to develop, others don't see happening in 30,000.
The Federation has never built anything a hundred miles across.
And the Empire can build 900km superweapons that have enough firepower in their defensive weaponry to take out entire fleets of ISDs or SSDs.
Hell, in SW, Kuat Drive Yards, a fucking construction company built a ring around their entire goddamn star system.
The fucking ICS built armies of quintillions of droids. THe fucking government put together by a bunch of companies and seperatist worlds!
The Empire hasn't got a single ship that's as nimble as the oldest and most decrepit starships in Starfleet.
Does he count the starfighters that can fly circles around Starfleets nimbles ships or shuttles? The starfighters that can carry enough bombs to glass islands?
Besides that, who the fuck cares about nimbleness? In a straight up fight between an ISD and a Galaxy class, the Galaxy class can fly in circles all it wants, it will just waste fuel and not get anything done.
That, and it probably wont get the chance to do anything, since SW ships carry fucking multi gigaton and higher weaponry.
Jesus Freaking Christ, this guy is a fucking... Trektard!
