New claims from the guy:
A low power federation phaser (the small hand units as opposed to the larger, more powerful rifle) can blast through 10 feet of solid rock...Bit more impressive than a few inches of metal
Now normally IIRC, there are many instances of phasers just hitting crates with the impact area going up in light puffs of smoke(thats how i remember most phaser battles anyhow)but still. I am interested as to what exactly the guy is referring to that would make him claim that phasers have such freakish power.
Certainly. In Q-who (next generation) the Borg used transporters that passed straight through the shields of the enterprise. In DS9 episode "the Jem'Hadar" the Dominion had transporters that passed straight through shielding.
Something tells me that the man may potentially be distorting the evidence so i'll run a database search later for both these claims(if the SD.net DB has it, which i believe it should)
There is also this little gem:
You have zero proof of this. We've seen an imperial star destroyer being incapable of destroying the millenium falcon, which is effectively a piece of junk.
and then this:
We've seen areas of ships take direct impacts from turbolasers which have only caused minor explosions in hanger decks etc.
Are you deliberately being obtuse? Shields don't work on weapons that phase out of space/time because the weapons don't exist on the same plane of existence as the shields until they rematerialse at their target. It's not difficult to grasp.
Now this is curious to say the least, the only piece of technology that i can remember that actually does that is the Chronitron torpedo, which i freely admit i'm not entirely familiar with beyond a quick wiki search. Just how does it work exactly?
Again, you have no evidence for what it is about species 8472 weapons that makes the Borg succeptible to them. It may have nothing to do with magnitude(of firepower is what he is refering to). Even if it does, it's quite clear that the magnitude of their weapons far outstrips anything the SW universe has and so they would win on their own.
Raw power is completely ineffective against ablative armour.
Yeah, i'll just leave that for you guys to see.
Also, how am I doing debate wise? I am relatively new but i am willing to improve.
