they always give the win the Star Wars, when the technology discrepancy demands Trek vessels win. the only advantage Wars has is hyperdrive they literally jump into an alternate dimension to travel further distances faster at slower speeds. they always seem to forget a lone Star Destroyer of any class can not kill a planet alone...and a lone Constitution Class from the Prime Universe (technologically inferior to the Kelvin timeline counterpart especially in terms of tactical systems) can kill a whole world. you wouldn't need the Kelvin timeline Vengeance, TOS Enterprise, with Kirk and crew can kill anything the Empire and the First Order had. to include Star Destroyers of all classes, Death Stars and Starkiller Base. as for the hyperdrive advantage hyperdrive only works once you escape gravity wells unlike warp, so if say Starfleet ever developed it themselves...they would then be faster.

[@Kreachie]

That’s not even the half of it, Star Wars Shields also work differently to Star Trek Shields and are A lot weaker due to the power requirements used for both types of Star Wars Shields,
And yeah there are 2 Types of Star Wars Shields, Energy Shields, and Kinetic Shields, Energy Shields Stop Energy Blasts like Turbolasers, While Kinetic Shields Stop Physical Objects such as Torpedoes and Missiles.
However while you can Fire through Energy Shields in Star Wars, you Cannot Fire or Launch Craft while the Kinetic Shields are up and the Kinetic Shields must have time to recharge after being lowered in order to be raised again. (You want an example of that, look up the Clone Wars Episode “Cat & Mouse”.)
Meanwhile Star Trek’s Deflector Shields are a Hybridization of the Two able to Shrug off Energy and Physical Attacks, and can last longer in a fight too considering they don’t use much power.

[@MacTX]

There's the cheap trick of beaming torpedoes. Admiral Marcus wouldn't bother beaming over a security detail with a bomb to blow up their bridge, he'd just beam photon torpedoes (probably set to the highest yield) to various sections of the ship. Photon torpedoes against shields and hull armor in space might not be too spectacular but in the air filled ship environment, the chain reaction of secondary explosions would be devastating.

[@aayush1043]

MacTX thing is, by the time they figure out the Wohllebens shield refreshing thing, it might be too late

[@MacTX]

The assumption would be that they would find it early on as beaming through the shield was proposed pretty early on by Ben.

[@jooot_6850]

We don't know if the shields on the star destroyer work like the ones on starkiller base. There might be no way to beam people aboard, we just don't know. But I do think the Finalizer's TIE fighters are being forgotten and we know for sure that the TIEs could at the _very_ least distract the weapons of the Vengeance, if not do some damage through bombing and strafing runs.

[@surokthevulcan5155]

Colin Thorneycroft But the Vengeance can launch assualt drones which are faster and more maneuverable than the TIE's. They carry proton torpedoes and once they run out of them, the drones will ram the target ship

They mention the rest of the ship is probably too well armored for the transporters to penetrate.
The bridge by contrast is relatively exposed.

[@randybentley2633]

And that's just using regular transporters. If you used the Inverter from the TNG episode The High Ground, then you wouldn't even have to worry about the ship's shields at all, just dimensional shift over a couple of high yield tricobalt bombs and call it a day. The theory for the inverter was put forth in the 23rd century and with Section 31 being the way that it is you gotta know they'd have their own version of D.A.R.P.A. to make some pretty crazy stuff for any and all contingencies.

[@randybentley2633]

If it were designed like a conventional SD then you might have a point, but that split level area that is big enough to fly a starfighter through opens up a plethora of locations to beam bombs too.

[@marinustennapel2661]

Or the other way around. Beam out any lifeform on the bridge and dump them in outer space. Or start beaming away huge chunks of he hull. Preferably pieces of the bridge. Or pieces of essential technology, like computers, or parts of the hyperdrive. It will probably cripple the Finalizer in no time.
The transporter is clearly Starfleets biggest advantage over the first order. They just need to use it smart.

In Star Trek DS9: Trials and Tribulations, Captain Sisko successfully beamed members of Defiant's crew through a shield refresh gap and so beaming is a valid tactic. In the Star Trek universe, Photon torpedps have been beamed several times. Given this, all Vengence or even a smaller Excellsior class needs to do, is beam a few torpedos to key postioons, and the Federation wins.

[@DrMacintosh]

Actually in Star Trek Cannon many times in combat ships have matched the shield frequency of other ships which allowed their phasers to completely bypass shields until the other ship re-modulates their shields.
The Vengeance doesn’t need to do much other than keep pounding away at the Star Destroyers turbo lasers.

[@lucaswallace7476]

The Resurgent could have fired at ESD for a 100 years and never weaken a single shield facing.

@The Archangel Hate to break it to you, but phasers are plasma based as well. They are nadion *particle* beams. If you can see it without being the target of it, it's plasma. And have you heard of auxiliary power? Trek ships have that. It's why a trek ship can dump its reactor and still maneuver and fight. Remember that moment in Nemesis where Geordi says that Shinzon knocked out their warpcore with his first shot and then they still went on to fight him rather than roll over and die? Yeah. The Wrath of Khan? Same thing. Death Star loses its reactor and it explodes.

[@Some_Random_Asshole]

dixievfd55 all the same, resurgent class shielding is designed for both energy and Kinetic weapons. Also, the resurgent has 2 reactors, the large bulb on the ventral side of most star destroyers are their main hypermatter annihilation reactor, placed there so it can be ejected into space in the event of a melt down, there’s also a secondary reactor that would provide enough power to allow the ship to jump to hyperspace and keep basic systems and defence systems online such as life support, engines, shielding and some basic weapons. So yeah, resurgent would still win.

[@Some_Random_Asshole]

dixievfd55 the Death Stars reactor was connected to many very large kyber crystals that amplify whatever power they take in by millions. Go watch the video called “Hera and Kanan destroy the imperial freighters & the kyber crystal to see one of those crystals explode.

Getting behind a ship is realistically impossible and only ever happens when someone tries to flee. Think about how far you have to travel trying to circle around someone well staying out of range compared to how far you have to travel to turn around. trying this would just maneuver them into a broadside battle that would be very bad. However the first order is incompetence enough that Marcus would probably still win

[@thewretchedpleb7484]

May be a year and a half late, but I'd agree with a caveat or two.
If the vengeance's cloaking tech was simply photo-refractive I don't know how effective it would be against sensor detection. It would have to be able to mask the presence of the ship entirely (heat, mass, reflective surfaces and so on).
That only becomes an issue depending on how sophisticated the sensory equipment on the SD is though, which I don't think is ever explained in detail. Not in the movies at least, I'm sure there's "data" on it through some extra source.

Difference being that warp jumps are much more precise than hyperspace jumps. An extremely short hyperspace jump is extra-system while star trek vessels can do jumps within a few kilometers distance.

[@RyanMarice]

The ships in star trek are far more maneuverable than you give credit.
All ships, even shuttle craft, can literally run circles around all turbo laser plasma bolts. They'd never get hit. Constitution class ships fight at least at 0.85c. A turbo laser goes at 0.00003c at most because it is plasma. By canon, star wars ships do not go even close to that fast.
You also ignore planetary defenses and make the space station defenseless. In this timeline, an example of a space station would be Yorktown Base. You see it in Beyond Darkness. It had millions of people. One of its arms was 17.5 miles long. It had thousands of defensive satellites and turrets. It was on the edge of chartered space. I think they would have better to defend the sol system and earth with billions. 1 capital ship would be no match for a station without specialized tactical knowledge.

The station is not disarmed. That's a myth. Their shields would deflect the turbo lasers plasma mass to minimize damage. Sensors would penetrate the Star Destroyer to determine complement, weakpoints, layout and energy sources. Excelsior class ship would be able to engage quite efficiently till the Dreadnought showed up. They also don't factor in impulse speeds are faster and more agile than star wars technology. Source data Klingon Academy and Star Fleet Academy simulator combat games which I had both. Since the sensors are superior they would see opportunities to not only beam but also to fire weapons to avoid Star Wars Shields. Not only that the photon Torpedo uses a subspace field to sustain speeds even at warp. The issue I have with the Hyperspace jump is it takes along time to calculate the jump plus they are in unfamiliar territory. Our asteroid belt then the Kepler belt would RIP the star destroyer apart. Time itself would hinder tactics useless.

[@frankg2790]

If there is one thing that Star Trek is known for, it is the inconsistent continuity. A Borg cube managed to destroy an entire fleet that was fully crewed and fully supplied, only for the Borg to get their asses kicked by a crew with no means to resupply and/or replace their losses despite having superior numbers. Voyager gets banged up, yet it is in tip top shape despite it being previously established that Voyager had no allies and/or the means to replace losses in both manpower and supplies. The Ferengi are built up to be the dreaded enemy of the Federation, a mysterious race notorious for devouring their business partners, only to act like over the top clowns during their first appearance and their first encounter with the human race being was a century before Kirk.

[@iamdiscothedrunkhippo5380]

I think the reason they left those out is just so the two can have a fair fight. If the vengeance showed up and fought the entire first order, it would have been destroyed. I can understand why they left out the other ships.

[@viperstriker4728]

I agree but with convenient timing this is possible, look at the first time the borg attacked in next gen like 14ish ships to defend earth because really poor timing. Also star fleet can converge everything they have because they don't know the limits of hyperdrive so the first order can't actually hit any planet they want but star fleet would assume they can. It would also be pretty consistent with st plots for this to happen then the enterprise shows up and against all odds uses vaguely explained tactics to single handedly destroy the first order saving earth because everyone else is too busy diening to other threats the enterprise will have to deal with in the next episode.

No way the bridge would be boarded (especially with only six people onboard). Once the refresh rate of the shields was discovered they would simply beam aboard all of their torpedos and blow the ship up from the inside.

[@DeathBYDesign666]

That they even suggested beaming people instead of photons was dumb to begin with. It would probably only take a couple, one photon torpedo can devastate an entire city easily.

In the same episode, the Constellation had survived even more hits from the Doomsday Machine and had suffered severe hull damage but was still basically functional.
As early as the pilot, we’re told that one shot from a shipboard phaser is enough to destroy an entire continent.

[@bonboll5012]

[@krispalermo8133]

Ok here is talking smack for you....
First: Star Trek basic Copy Right " Anti- Matter weapons."
Second: On screen Cannon , Star Trek ships impluse speed for their warship move at 1/4th of light speed. In the RPG FASA books star ships combat speed is 1/4th of c.
Star Wars RPG states their ship take 30mins to travel from a planet to it's nearest moon. ST can do that within 7sec. Star Wars says nothing about their ship speed in space on film. Other than it takes a few mintues for a ship to clear a planet's gravity well before they can jump to hyper space.
Star Trek fasers move about the v=c. Long story short a speck of cigarette ash of iron dust measuring 1/4th of a sq mm. weight of 8,0000 of a milligram hits with the force of 6 ton of tnt.= 3megawatts/ jouls of energy per sq/ cm. Due to the mass area of the faser emitter they are dropping 24 tons or 12 mw/ sq inch area. Sorry but this is way more energy used to kill a 60 ton tank.
Third: Do way with faster than light and anti- matter weapons. And just stick with what the Earth already has. Star Wars fighter craft carries missiles about a meter length which would have a 100lb Swan hyrogen nuke with a gross yeid of 5kilotons or a 1kiloton impact surface hit.= 500 megawatts/jouel. ." yes my spelling sucks,"
Star Trek II & TNG photon torpedo are little over 2m in length and can hold a full grown adult male or a 300lb W80 150 kiloton nuke warhead. Star Trek missiles 30x more powerful than Star Wars. This is by today's energy standers.

[@TheDruis]

I like both Star Wars and Star Trek- don't 'favor' one over the other. However, this video is absolutely ridiculous, for many reasons. First, your assuming the Federation tech is way less powerful than what it is. 2nd, your science is way off. and 3rd? The Resurgent wouldn't even make it past the battle with an Excelsior or Constitution class star ship.
1st- Federation tech.
Weapons: One Star Trek ship in TOS can obliterate an entire civilization/planet surface (General order 24). "This is the commander of the USS Enterprise. All cities and installations on Eminiar 7 have been located, identified, and fed into our fire control system. In 1 hour and 45 minutes, the entire inhabited surface of your planet will be destroyed. You have that long to surrender your hostages."
--TOS "A Taste of Armageddon".
Ok- think of the difference. ONE TOS ship... and that's OLD Constitution class trek tech with phasers, 2 fore and 2 aft torpedo launchers, . Now lets look at the Resurgent... 1500 turbo lasers for 'planetary bombardment'. Could the Resurgent devastate an entire planet? Perhaps, but it's going to take 1500 turbo lasers to do as much damage as a Star Trek TOS Class 1 Heavy Cruiser? lol.
Shields. Lasers can't get past the Navigational screens (Deflector Dish) of Star Trek ships. Lets say for the sake of argument a 'turbo' laser can (Ionized plasma hybrid? Okay). Good luck penetrating even OLD school TOS shields- A Constitution-class starship's shields could take the equivalent of ninety photon torpedoes at once. They could do so a total of five times before shattering completely. (TOS: "The Changeling").
So far, a mothballed TOS museum ship can take out that Star Destroyer.... shall we move on?
Science: Speed and mass. Star Trek ships can fight at warp speed. Even Photon torpedoes can travel at warp speeds. Unless a star wars ship is making a hyperspace jump, its traveling at slow, sub light speeds. Think of it this way- the battle would be over before the Star Destroyer would know where the incoming fire was coming from. To the star trek ship, the Star Destroyer would appear to be 'standing still'. To the Star Destroyer? They would not even be able to see, detect, track or know where the Star Trek ship is... it's traveling at FTL (so are its weapons).
Here is what a battle between a FTL ship and a Sub light ship with SHITTY sensors would look like:
The bridge conversation on the Star Destroyer would go something like this:
"Open fire on that ship!"
"Sir, Its gone!"
"Did we destroy it?"
"I don't think so commander, our Turbo laser fire was half way to the ship when it disappeared, and there is no debris field"
"What? Did they jump to hyperspace?"
"No sir... one moment they were there, the next there was a light flash and they disappeared"
"Sir, we are being hailed"
"By the planet? It's about time they considered terms of surrender to the Empire!"
"NO sir, it's from the ship- but we can't pinpoint the location of the transmission... according to our instruments, the signal is very distorted, but in roughly a circular pattern traveling faster than light... and it's circling our location."
"Impossible!"
"Sir, the transmission... they are identifying their ship as the USS Enterprise... they have scanned us... and say that if we don't immediately break orbit from 'Earth' that we will be fired upon. They are also demanding that we power down all weapons and shields... and prepare to have a boarding party 'beamed'(?) aboard and then we will be escorted to the 4th planet of the solar system. Failure to comply in 5 minutes(?) will result in our immediate destruction."
"Insolent curs! How DARE they! Open fire on that ship!, And launch ALL Tie fighters".
"Sir, we still can't FIND it!"
"Well, perhaps they have some sort of cloaking technology... lets make them come out of hiding! Open fire on the planet. Target one of their smaller cities... we don't want to damage too much of the emperors future property after all, but we do want to let them know that such arrogance will not be left unpunished! And tell all gun crews to be prepared to reacquire the... Enterprise?... for destruction once the cowards stops hiding."
"Gun crews locking on to a city on the largest continent.... SIR! We're taking fire!"
"Where!?! Location, speed, direction and trajectory!"
"It's coming from EVERYWHERE sir!"
"What do you mean everywhere!?!"
"Sir, gun crews can only see beam weapons flashing out of empty space along with... My god sir! They are using anti-matter weapons! Our shields are weakening... but when we redirect more power to a critical area they are retargeting the weakest shield. Our shields won't hold much longer! Commander! Our gun crews can't see any 'ship' that is firing on us! They have nothing to target! Sir, Our fighters are being disintegrated... and they report nothing to target as well!"
"I want fire on that damned ship! FIND IT!"
"Sir, the Enterprise is hailing us again... it's captain is saying that while he can keep this up 'all day long' , his 'science officer(?)' has indicated to him that we have a 97.6% probability of certain destruction in 23.67 seconds if we don't cease hostilities immediately... commander... his tone is 'amused'.
So you know what? I don't care if that star destroyer has 30,000 turbo lasers with 5 trillion giga watts of power each. It can't hit what it can't see or track. To think that a star ship is going to 'sit still' when it comes under fire is naïve. FEDERATION SHIPS CAN FIGHT AT WARP SPEEDS. To the Empire, there is no such thing. Only space, speed of light, and hyperspace. And you can't have it both ways. Either it's a laser firing at light speed (which wont pass though navigational screens on a star trek ships), or its a plasma/projectile which of course means its traveling at sub light speeds. Constitution class ships fight at least at 0.85c. (when not fighting at warp speed).A turbo laser goes at 0.00003c- those plasma cannons are SO slow to a federation ship that can fight even at sub light speeds at a MUCH higher speed!. Do you see now why the Enterprise in my scenario 'popped' out of existence- it went to warp- meaning you can't 'see' it anymore. To the empire it either disappeared or cloaked. The human eye can't detect anything faster than light- you 'see' it in the movies, but in real life there would be nothing but flashes of light,. Pretty bad when your gun crews are all humans... even if they are using computers to aid in fire control. At 'best' something would 'flash by' in the distance and be gone before a puny Empire brain could register a ghost of an image. The only thing they would 'see' is random flashes of light (incoming weapons trajectories) in whatever random flight pattern the Star Fleet ship is taking running literal circles around the Star Destroyer. Get behind the Star Destroyer? Lol, It's already warped around it firing torpedoes and phasers 12 or 13 times in 10 seconds at about 200,000 kilometers distance at Warp 1... which by the way isn't even max range. If anything, the enterprise would be moving at such higher respective speeds to the star destroyer that it risks going TOO fast around the Star Destroyer... and may have to make elliptical 'passes' at a leisurely Warp 1. Either way- no way that the empire could track it, let alone shoot at it. Lets say a turbo laser gets in the projected path of the Enterprise... at 0.00003c even using a phaser bank as a point defense system can easily handle it. Or better yet, its going so slow the Enterprise just goes around it. The reason you don't see such one sided battles in Star Trek universe is that every race is using similar- if not the same tech/speed/relative shields and weaponry. In battle they are all moving RELATIVE to one another- that just is NOT possible for a star destroyer to do at warp speed vs. sublight!
So sorry Star wars fans. Thought I love the franchise, there isn't even a discussion to get into. No scenario could see the destroyer coming out on top. The tech in the Star Wars universes is just too primitive (with the exception of hyper space- but even jump calculations take time, remember "It's not like dusting crops back home"). One jump to light speed and it's game over. Speculation over. No chance- you can't fight what you cant hit or see. And your own firepower is Waaaaayyyyy to slow to arrive on target! It would be like firing a BB gun at an F16. You cant get the speed, velocity or mass on target, even if the F16 has to 'slow down' to hit you back, your still going to loose. So argue all you want about weapons, power, shields, yields, mass, size, fighter, on and on... in the final analysis- the Destroyer can't even see what is killing it.

[@WhatIsSanity]

Thank you. It is a very amusing scenario to muse over, but it should not take one much musing to realise this outcome.
This video really should have been a comparison between ship technology in the respective universes rather than an attempt to match two wildly different levels of technology against each other. The fans debate and argue over the Months since this video was posted, but few people bother to compare actual stats from the lore such as you did.
I think people forget it's not a competition about which lore is 'better'. Stating the fact that any Star Wars universe vessel is no match for a vessel from the Star Trek universe is not denigrating Star Wars. It's just a silly match up. A good comparison would be if I got upset because someone pointed out Aragorn from Lord Of The Rings would be defeated in a fist fight with Darth Vader. No sh** sherlock..... He would be disintegrated immediately, just like that Star Destroyer.

The Vengence beams the crew of the Resurgent into space. Star trek wins.

[@joshuahogan3475]

The Vengeance engages in a series of high warp strafing runs firing on the Star Destroyer at FTL speeds, never exiting warp until outside their enemies weapons range. The Vengeance is never even SEEN by the SW ship, and easily destroys the enemy vessel without taking a single hit.

[@jhmcd2]

Umm...no, and the evidence is within The Last Jedi. The firing arc of the First Order vessels is only about 2 miles (about 5 lengths of the Radis). The NX-01, which is nearly a hundred years older than the Vengeance could hit small, fast moving objects 100,000 miles away after dropping from warp (ST:ENT: The Augments). Also, ships in the Abrams verse move far faster than ships in the prime timeline. For reference, getting 12 light years (the distance to Vulcan) took about ten minutes in the first movie, not the week or so in ST: Enterprise. So two light years would be covered quickly, and I doubt Marcus would let them sit there for the several days they would need to repair the ship. As well, we also now know that Starfleet shields are far stronger than Imperial shields as evidence from both Rogue One and Last Jedi. The Imperial Shields allowed objects through them, mainly fighters and other solid objects (like Torpedoes) where as Federation shields do not. Also keep in mind, Federation crews are scientist and engineers. They would have scanned the Star Destroyer, repaired their ship, looked for weaknesses in the Destroyer, and when it came back, targeted the vulnerable shuttle bays and sub-light drive units. Hell, they could have just maneuvered behind them and stayed there. Also, in the Original series, the Federation ships used warp drive to maneuver during combat, meaning that small hyperspace jump would be negated quickly (quick note, the Picard Maneuver is basically the same thing). And from Star Trek Discovery and The Original Series, which takes place at the same time as Into Darkness, we know that Starfleet weapons are far more powerful, with one ship able to output enough firepower to devastate a planet. In Last Jedi, the First Order relied on that Dreadnought to destroy the Resistance base, and the blast wasn't even visible from space. And since we see just how many hits a Federation ship can take, that gives us an idea on how tough their ships really are. I think you guys tend to give these battles too quickly to the Imperials. Yes, their ships are heavily armed, but they aren't really all that capable.

[@Raving_Rando]

It is because Star Wars fans still cling to the "200 Gigaton" Turbolaser claim, when the movies and cartoons debunk this. In Legends an ISD can glass a planet in a day where as in CANON we clearly see they are nowhere near that power level by Thrawn's bombardments. This is further backed by the more powerful dreadnought's bombardment, as the explosion the dreadnought's special guns caused was smaller then that of a nuclear explosion.
I've done a lot of studying on the power levels of the Star Wars factions, mainly thanks to the Empire VS Covenant debates. :3

[@Raving_Rando]

Winter Phoanix Hmmm... Now that you mention it and after I looked it up. Yes. Seems about right. =\

[@catmani2]

Raving Rando........ By that logic you can only say their most ST ships can't target things far away because they always attack each other within a few miles at most in the show. You cannot judge the SW universe and the power of the weapons from a show meant for kids. I mean, in that show, the turbolasers caused a smaller explosion that our modern day mortars. They also have trained soldiers getting defeated by having fruit thrown at them. So while the 200 Gigaton claim is false, the childrens cartoon also can't be used for an accurate representation.

it was not always armed in proper cannon it was unarmed most of the time it could be armed but it would take 2 weeks to get the defence systems online as they were stored on earth when not installed on the station due to the need for it to maintain the abillity to hold and repair a large number of starships it was only defended by a fleet of 12-15 runabouts and a small fighter wing its main defence was the nearby allied fleets of the member worlds like andor and the other nearby worlds also by the main shipyards at mars which if you were going to attack earth you would destroy them first

[@barrybend7189]

Imperial tie fighter vs the thunderbolt starfury from Babylon 5.

[@ojisanhoward8940]

Barry Bend Although I think the Starfury wins easily! Go with one of the advanced Tie Fighters like the Tri Fighter.

[@barrybend7189]

this is a squadron battle so five starfuries vs 12 tie fighters and both don't have shields.

[@ojisanhoward8940]

Barry Bend BETTER! But I'd still give the edge to Starfuries INSANELY maneuverable. No shields but quite a bit armored if I remember correctly.

[@barrybend7189]

both have armor that is basically tissue paper when energy weapons are involved.

[@ojisanhoward8940]

Barry Bend Tie fighter definitely but been a long time since I last saw Babylon 5, I'd have to research it. But I'd definitely LOVE this scenario.

[@oldtimefarmboy617]

Everybody forgets about the star destroyer power reactor, which is mounted on the ventral side and is designed to be ejected in a malfunction emergency. How long would it take for Starfleet sensors to locate the reactor in such an exposed location. A volley or two of photon torpedoes with a simultaneous full power phaser beam hitting the reactor housing would either disable it and eliminate their power for shields and weapons and hyper-drive or overload it and cause an explosive runaway power reaction.
Combined with superior maneuverability, I would give the Vengeance five minutes at the most before the the star destroyer is crippled or goes boom.

[@UkumeleGaming]

I feel like a major aspect that was overlooked in the video was the 2 FULL wings of 75 tie fighters carried standard in the Resurgent Class which would at the very least divert some focus off of the star destroyer. Not to mention that especially in the new movies, tie fighters are capable of causing some major damage to capital ships.

[@Randomuser-nn7ls]

But, this Tiefihter didnt had shields. Maybe I am wrong about that. But couldnt the Startrek ship just beam everyone out of their tie fighters?

[@WassabiJoe]

With ability to beam stuff, why doesn't Federation always just beam torpedoes onto enemy ships? I think i've seen it quite often in the series...

[@falkenvir]

That' would be perfect, Beam it to the bridge or engine.. booom

[@hunternelson3018]

I highly doubt the first order winning.

[@djtrunksta]

"Captain, they are now locking lasers on us." "Lasers!?" "Yes, sir." "Lasers can't even penetrate our navigation shields. Don't they know that?" "Regulations do call for yellow alert." "Hmm, a very old regulation. Well, make it so Number One. And, reduce speed... drop main shields, as well." "May I ask why, sir?" "In case we decide to surrender to them, Number One... "

[@edwardsmith4540]

I believe that the call would have been for all available ships to converge on earth to defend it not hunt down one ship regardless of how big it was it threatened the security of earth defence first

[@theastrogamer710]

8:11 Wouldnt it be better to use transporter code 14 (which essentially means to blow something up with the transporter) to destroy an important part in the reactor or something.

[@isaned]

Just beam in 1 torpedo right next to the reactor.
BOOM

[@HunterSteel29]

You forget that a in Legends at least, a Star Destroyer's reactor blowing up would also blow up a planet next to it. This is why, in movies, the Star Destroyers don't really Blow Up, but instead just fall apart as the reactor shuts down from failing. But then, the same happens with Star Trek Warp Cores, considering there's anti-matter in there.

[@isaned]

HunterSteel29 um, what!?! Watch ROTJ again. Right before the A-wing rams the Super Star destroyer, you see one blow up in the background while Akbar is saying they need to concentrate all fire on the SSD, and I didn't see any other ships or a planet for that matter blowing up along with it. Not to mention the Dreadnought in The Last Jedi blew up in formation with other Star destroyers and they were fine.

[@potatoradio]

Buckaroo Banzai started Yoyodine industries, (cannon builder of some ST ships & one of if not only private company in TNG.) had a secret survivalist spy group that could have survived the apocalypse. He traved dimensions and time, and had unnatural hate of Khan. Is Marcus BB , did Penny die because Kahn, with normal rivalry of 2 smartes - best people suddenly forced to work together. Ie is Marcus BB and Blue Blazers sec 31 lol and Carol Penny and BB's daughter...

[@ChaosSlave51]

Much more likely they would beam the officers onto their own ship, without weapons, and demand surrender at gunpoint

[@RobertNetchert]

The Vengeance would beam quantum torpedoes into critical areas on the star destroyer, then move to a safe distance before detonation

[@PercepiusProductions]

Next: First Order vs the Federation

[@billyabroad8057]

Remember the vengeance travels 3x faster then enterprise maximum warp. They’d be able follow and disable them in hyper jump.

[@NealStandley]

One transphasic torpedo nuff said look what one a wing did in Return of the Jedi Star Destroyers are nothing but glassjaw. Ships

[@Erebdai]

I really like seeing both of you together in a video.

[@deancotton2127]

The Vengeance can beam through shields....
Marcus's daughter was beamed through shields

[@jeremiah5430]

no they cant the vengeance took out the enterprise's shields before they beamed her out

[@deancotton2127]

@@jeremiah5430 I watched the other day and I remember they had some maybe not full but some although I could be wrong. Thank you for clarifying.

[@michaelferrell7924]

The fighters of finalizer were are they??

[@vts0361]

Exactly.

[@the_meme_analyst7937]

They’d be useless and would be melted by the vengeance’s phasers. Phasers are capable of functioning as point defense as shown in TNG when the Enterprise D destroys about 15 shuttlecraft/fighters in about a second.

[@tomslick986]

I think you forgot that the Trek weapons are significantly less powerful than the SW weapons. The SD could sit there for some time just soaking the firepower. This puts the Trek ships at a huge disadvantage

[@bezerker66691]

If that ship can catch a calamari cruiser, it's not catching the vengeance. Great video guys

[@flare9757]

15000 turbolasers? No, sorry, that is the Assertor Class, not the Resurgent.

[@mrlinguini2326]

1500 not 15000

[@flare9757]

Potatoman780 1 Look at the Assertor, and you will see what I mean.

[@Phoenix____-fq8mw]

I was gonna say that Starfleet has the same micro jump maneuver with warp. Also I think that the impulse speed and maneuverability would be more of an advantage. not only that but I don't know how powerful the deflector array is but I do know it can deflect meteors and things with constant velocity so I don't know how molten plasma would do against that.

[@caedes4367]

The fractional refresh rate shielding only goes for star killer base not a star destroyer also many people underestimate turbo lasers they’re quite fast tracking systems are pretty good and turbo lasers actually have really long range and do a ridiculous amount of damage

[@xjilnuz3495]

I need more videos like this, in this format

[@comradestryker6521]

Vengeance would win in my opinion because if it beamed aboard armed torpedoes, all scattered on vital areas throughout the ship, (shields, engines, bridge, life support, etc.) it would disable and eventually destroy the Star Destroyer.
Side note: Vengence can scan and figure out where the Destroyer's vital areas are, and it can do what McCoy and Spock did to Khan. They beamed over armed torpedoes and they detonated inside the Vengeance.
And c'mon, E.S.D. is always surrounded by dozens of ships.

[@sgtpaloogoo2811]

The Vengeance was soooo cool

[@AstraAstarte]

also star trek has established that plasma based weapons are much weaker and their shields are able to block most plasma weapons

[@MMMMMMMMMM857]

I think they would transport a torpedo on their bridge, and in their main engine room. Kaboom

[@davidlawrence7344]

Unfortunately micro space jumps wouldn't work because turbolasers have a range of less than 5000 km .Some say it's 500 to 1000. If a federation vessel is traveling at .0.01 C its traveling 3000 kilometers per second. Starfleet vessels routinely cruise at 0.25 C Turbolasers travel at 2.8 km per second the Vengeance cruising speed of 0.25c is 75 thousand kilometers per second you can't hit them with a 2.8 km per second projectile weapon. No matter how many guns you have. It's not possible mathematically because even at 1% it would only take them 2 seconds to be out your weapons range. And you're assuming that they have the capability to fire the very second they come out of hyperspace. which would be a false assumption. It takes them 10 to 30 seconds before all systems come online and that's including weapons. the Federation vessel will be long gone and the ship would be detected the second it materialize inside the system and note transport beams travel faster than the speed of light so would go through any type of Imperial made Shields which is only rudimentary magnetic shielding.

[@MotoroidARFC]

david lawrence , negative on the inability to fire, waiting for up to half a minute to fire.
The ISD Devestator opened fire immediately after coming out of hyperspace at Scarif; the transport that it collided with was still blowing up.

[@davidlawrence7344]

Siggy Reagan .It wouldn't matter. If JJ Trek Ships. have the same sublight speed capability of TOS. TNG. DS9. and Voyager. It would be to fast for your turbolasers to hit. Example. If you came out of hyperspace less than 50 kilometers away and a federation vessel while it's orbiting a planet at 0.01c .Well below his sublight cruising speed. He is still faster than the old projectile weapons of a Class 1 or 2 Star Destroyer at only 2.8 kilometers per second. As opposed to his 3000 kilometers per second . One percent the velocity of light. And yes only in Rogue One have they displayed that kind of capability.But, Before Rogue one in Canon they were never capable of such a feat.But even at that very second.They would be out of your weapons range of 5000 kilometers in two seconds. At their cruising speed of 0.25c. Less than a nanosecond it would take. At 75.000. Kilometers per second. And even if the Resurgent class weapons are capable of traveling a little faster due to a upgrade. Let's say at 100 kilometers per second. they wouldn't be capable of hitting a federation vessel at one percent the speed of light or one quarter impulse power. It maybe easy to do a micro jump against slow moving primitive vessels that stand still most of the time. And have the same capability as your vessel. But federation vessels are in constant motion. At anyone of these velocities that micro jump strategy would be dead on arrival

[@MotoroidARFC]

david lawrence we all know turbo lasers are slow; an Imperial officer says the Rebel craft are evading them in the very first movie.
I was responding to your claim that warships can't open fire. In all the movies prior to Rogue One, the ISDs were already firing or they were not firing. We never saw an ISD come out of hyperspace and then be forced to wait to fire their weapons. What kind of warship is that? A warship going into battle with its weapons powered down has a stupid commander. The Devestator CO knew he was going to fight Rebel ships so he had his ship ready (besides, he had Vader breathing down his neck. Try telling him the guns won't be ready for up to half a minute while Rebel ships are fleeing). Even Star Trek vessels can have their weapons ready and still go to Warp.

[@valenrn8657]

At Warp 9+, Defiant class doesn't have power for it's weapons which is different to Nebula or Prometheus classes

[@MotoroidARFC]

Rnl Valen so a Defiant can't spit torpedoes while in warp?

[@kitsychan]

First, and interesting problem, we've seen NO sign of super long range sensors on star destroyers or any star wars ships... A star destroyer can't scan a planetary system 5 light years out. So they sensors wouldn't SEE ships at warp travel. On the flip side, The Federation DOES have experience with hyperspace. They just don't use it because of the amount of deadly radiation it generates. It DOES however create a subspace pressure wave and Nuclear signal that CAN be detected, tracked, and plotted.
Now luckly this is only "TOS" level of tech. Voyager Era and Post Voyager, weapons become well... a single torpedo could destroy a moon. And starships get the ability to use transwarp conduits... and travel across the galaxy in hours.

[@x_12unknown10]

Then the federation are most definitely not using star wars hyperspace.

[@skyedodge3597]

you forget that the kelvin timeline is more advanced.

[@DavidWatersJames]

Star Wars fan boys always make excuses in this type of comparison. ST shields would easily dissipate "turbo laser" hits, whereas Star Wars ships would have NO DEFENSE against photon torpedo hits AT ALL ! A single Runabout micro-torpedo into the Star Destroyer bridge would END THE FIGHT.

[@Lex36020]

The Hundreds of TIE'S in the Resurgent: Are we a joke to you?

[@retromillenium]

Let me see, a cruiser from the TOS in the Star Trek universe can devastate the entire surface of a planet in a matter of minutes, while the average Star Destroyer in the Star Wars universe has shown the equivalent firepower of modern artillery and the most powerful ship ever seen, the Mandator IV has 2 cannons that have firepower displayed in the low kiloton range.
Winner Star Trek hands down.
Unfortunately Generation Tech completely ignores any of the evidence shown in Star Wars thus far, and keeps pushing this SW superior firepower nonsense.

[@caffeinefree9537]

There has been multiple concentrated deposits of salt detected in this comment section, I'm not going to name any names here but guys... just pls chill a little.

[@DavidWatersJames]

No Star Wars ship could defend against Photon Torpedos, quantum torpedos or phasers. The Constitution class could cream ANY Star Wars ship. (No Shields = no defense) A "Runabout" could destroy the Star Destroyer. Target the main reactors with a half-dozen photon torpedos and the fight would be over. FACT IS: The Vengeance's phasers would blast holes through every hit.

[@JohnnyCocas00]

For a moment there I thought the title should be Resurgent Class Star Destroyer vs an entire fleet, it was getting real close to it...
