Longest Lasting Ship in battle

Which Fed class ship would last the longest in battle with a Star Destroyer, Nebulon-B, TIE squadron, etc.

Since any single weapons hit would destroy a ship, I'd go for the most maneuverable of all.

A Federation tactial fighter.

one one turbolaser could destroy a federation ship. Usually I try to keep an open mind, but yeah right.

Alright, Romulan Nemesis, name the Federation starship that can absorb a 200 Gigaton strike from a plasma-based beam weapon.

E-Nil's best shot is 97MT, when overloading.

Concession accepted.

Ablative Armor. Enhanced Shielding.maneuverability. Intrepid or Defiant.

Well, any Federation starship, of course.

It's merely a matter of cross-indexing the Frane Valves with the Transphasic Nucleonic Subspace Static Warp Bubble Transmogrification Array, creating a randomly rotating quantum flux vibration in the gravition emitters of the navigational deflector, temporarily transforming the shields into regenerative metaphasic shields capable of withstanding any level of non-phase coherent offensive directed plasma input through the application of tri-axial tetryon particle vertices powered by seven milligrams of cyanoacrylate resin producing deadly Berthold rays.

It will only work for one episode, though.

SirNitram: Hmmm interesting I could swear we were talking about who would last longest in a fight niot who could do the most damage.

Strange that you would go there especially when the enterprise can whip up a planet killing bomb in 5 minutes.

Hey, last time I checked, a stardestroyers weaponry was a whole bunch of ion cannons. This might be true or false, Im not keen on Imperial Tactical Specs. Im a Doctor, not a foreign tactical specialist.

They do have ion cannons but those are secondary weapons, their main armament are their turbolasers.

The ablative armour and shielding wouldn't count for much against the sheer firepower they would have to face: megaton-class for light guns and gigaton-class for heavy guns. It is all relative; they are better than their predecessors, but they are not facing their usual enemies so this has no meaning.

Their maneuverability is probably their most important asset, but Defiant-class maneuverability is exaggerated. Their maneuverability is nowhere near as high as that of a one-man fighter (even in ST), and most of their survivability in combat seems to rely on being able to take a fair number of hits and the fact that a 130 metre long ship is a tough target for weapons systems that were designed to hit 400-700 metre long ships.

I agree with the earlier poster who said that the tactical fighter is the best bet, or perhaps the little Maquis raiders. "Small and maneuverable" is the best defense against an enemy with overwhelming raw firepower.

Are you claiming that Star Destroyers are not actually armed with turbolasers, just ion cannons?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

Actually, were a Federation starship to make a run for it at warp, it would most likely be able to stay alive for hours, possibly days. The ISD or other application of Imperial might could make short hyperspace skips to pursue the Federation vessel, but until it can get something like a fleet of Interdictors to box the starship in, the Federation starship can likely evade at warp, albeit very, very slowly by Imperial standards.

Like I said, All I know is what I get from the fanfics.

I specialize in Federation and Romulan Biogenics. I know lots about that.

Acutal Indterducters are ment to prevent SW ships from running to hyperspace, Gravity does not seem to Affect ST warp-drive

But on the other hand the Omega particule whatever it is prevents all Warp Drive travel all togther so sprinkling that ahread of them could stop them but Interducters can't

Worf once used an anti gravaton beam to prevent ships from going to warp. So gravity in some form does effect warp drives.

What level of gravity does an interdictor put out? because warpiong inside an atmosphere (of a class M planet) can be done so it would need to be above the range of planetary gravity - I cant remember their altitude but it wasnt too high.

Umm in TPM didn;'t they nearly get sucked into a wormhole because they went into warp too close to a gravity well?

Don't read it. I highly suggest Mike Wong's Conquest(The SD.net link at the top of the forum, then look for the Fanfic button on his site), or Battle Of The Titans, a S8472 vs. Empire fic in ASVS's Fanfic Archive.
