Umm...why?If we're going to go that route then we simply cannot have any meaningful comparison of the universes and the entire discussion is moot.
The entire premise of my argument is based on real world analytical techniques and methods... based on 20th century science. 400 years from now who knows what technology I would have at my disposal.
Seriously, why? All that has been said is that Replicators are NOT a no-limits technology. We know they have many limitations, and even if they did not, it would be stupid to assume that they can create an alloy that is hundreds or thousands of years ahead of their science, without ANY knowledge how it was made (at what temperatures, with how much pressure etc.).
How does that invalidate a meaningfull comparision of SW and ST?
Hm...smells odd...similar to crap.That's why I default to my understandings of science and engineering and extrapolate forward 400 years.
How the hell can you "extrapolate your knowledge of science and engineering forward 400 years"?
By the way, you can not just contradict canon with your extrapolation -stop playing make-believe.
Huh, whad'ya know, make-believe again.In the end it comes down to this simple choice: Which universe do you like better? In this situation... I am stating that it is possible to use Star Trek technology to duplicate Star Wars technology 1:1 allowing you to conquer the universe.
"Law of dimishing returns"?Now... on the flip side... If I took a Galaxy Class starship into the Star Wars universe problems would arise as soon as the first battle is over: Where do I get more antimatter? Law of diminishing returns tells me that while I can generate some onboard, my generator will fail long before I manufacture enough to make a difference. Star Wars technology could build me a replacement warp core to replace the one I had to eject due to damage... and I could make a new crystal for the core or use a spare... but the problem of how would I acquire it when I have no money or means of exchange?
You KNOW that antimatter is a FUEL, not an ENERGY SOURCE, right?
If they could use their onboard-reactor to produce more antimatter, they would LOOSE energy.
