yes, that's him. he drove, waht we donned, "minivan of diocles" after he randomly taught us "the cissoid of diocles". he's odd, and his page reflects that. entertaining, though.

Not exactly, but this singular tactic is close enough to cite - Picard Manuever. There's just a huge technological disparity and Star Wars just happens to be on the lower tech end. The sensors and ingress/egrees speeds available in the Trek universe alone really make this outcome very one-sided and obvious to all but the most strident fanboys.

Example: The Trek ships are scanning objects parsecs (3 ly) away and the Imperials can't even tell that the Millenium Falcon is stuck to them like a tick on dog.

Actually, the Borg don't even need to use the weapons on the Cube. Just transport a few clones through the DS shields and start assimilating stormtroopers. Sure the Borg would lose a few (say three or four) clones before they adapted to the blasters wielded by the troopers but they don't care - they're relentless. It'd be over without the Borg firing any shots. A Borg Death Star, now that's a thought.

Funny you say this, that's just what the Imperials thought in the first Star Wars movie and look how well that turned out for them.

Oh yeah, it happened again the the third, it was just a bigger ant.

Maybe the Borg just need to assault the Death Star with a shuttlecraft.

Agreed. Badger hit it right on the head, it's the technology difference. Star Wars tech is centuries behind that of Star Trek.

What a bunch of nerds...i love it!

oh and i'd have to say the borg because they assimilate to whatever you throw at them and resistance is futile!!

[MinisterofDOOM]

Droids can't be assimilated. R2D2 > borg.

[DrifterXRPS13]

i agree, R2 was the shiznits but still, i would have to give it up to the borg still knowing that and then if the death star ever went into the borg lair where there's a crapload of cubes....they would be uber pwned.

[Bootstrap]

I can't believe I'm posting here but Deathstar wins, It's a goddanm planet destroyer, and you can't square or cube a circle.lazor The Cube can't do this either

[flohtingPoint]

Droids cant be assimilated, this is true. On the flip side of this, how many droids in Star Wars are even worth anything in combat? Even the ones that are decent are a worlds less sophisticated than a Borg soldier.

The Borg are a collective mind, meaning that they're one huge super computer making computations per second that are unparalleled in the whole Star Wars universe, let alone one droid. While the droid may be thinking a bit ahead in terms of what to do in battle, the Bord would have the whole battle strategy finished, along with about a billion other sub-strategies for given variables.

I seem to remember they did pretty good with Data for a while... He was way more advanced than r2 tho.

[MinisterofDOOM]

I seem to remember they did pretty good with Data for a while... He was way more advanced than r2 tho.

Except at the very beginning, when the Queen was using fear against him, Data was just going along with them. He took advantage of the Queen's trust in him as an artificial life form and used it to betray her.

[DrifterXRPS13]

Mod, you are teh biggest nerd ever....but it's cool...i like it...just make sure you spare me when your doom ships come to conquer us.

[dasoupdude]

I are enjoying this discussion.

I understand the concept behind the Borg a whole lot better.

"There is no I in Borg."

[Dattebayo]

Seriously, just go and DL all the borg eps and movies and watch them from the beginning. It would take maybe about 4 -5 hours tho, heh

[dasoupdude]

Yee. I've been seeing a few crap on youtube. Apparently there's a Borg version of Picard.

Anywhoo, while going through a bunch of vids I ran into this. It made me lulz.

Yea, Locutus. That was one of my more favorite of the NG arcs.

[dasoupdude]

What a badass.

[s0m3th1ngAZ]

I have no idea what either of these were. I was coming in with hopes of a Borg Warner turbo Cube and some crazy Starion.

I s*** you not...that is EXACTLY what I thought as well.

f*** YES!!!! "Im a Mog. Half man half dog, Im my own best friend."

Uh...battle droids with frickin force fields and this mofo.



And you can't fire from hyperspace...just saying that they are on two separate dimensions...A little lame example I know but watch the Cowboy Bebop episode where that crazy PETA woman tries to attack a planet with mutation missles. Now, that's not saying you could fire a projectile that has the capability to leave hyperspace on it's own...aka fire a missile from 500 LY away and have it enter real space just before impact.

My vote goes to the Death Star. Because don't forget it's a f***ing floating city with platoons of clones, squadrons of Tie Fighters, and other defensive weaponry than just the Mega Laser.And versus one cube? I don't know much about their ability to assimilate energy weapons...I've only seen it versus phazers and laser rifles...but I'm pretty sure the cube would not be able to hold out against a million tie fighters.

[Bmore-coupe]

I dont know much about this Borg cube, I was much more of a Star Wars dork, so I have no educated comments on how to compare the two.

However, I am following it very closely

[starscream6]

This reminds me of when i was a kid. I didnt know anything about p***y so i asked my dad. When i asked him about this, the borg hands down. The technology they had was further along then "a long time ago, in galaxy far, far away... " They say it them selfs "a long time ago". The empire was hella outdated. Sorry lord vader.

And BTW. Who leaves a giant balloon being filled with Helium unattended, F***ING IDIOTS...

The borg are professional planet destroyers. Its what they do. The death star would be just another bump in the road.

[adrianfromthecastle]

both are still no match for Unicron!

The borg FTMFW, hands down. Their tech is waaaay more advanced, they would be able to haxors the DS before Vader or Lord Palpatine could even sense them coming. Once there systems are hacked it's game over for the DS, their shields would become nonexistent their weapons would become void and the Borg would just beam aboard and assimilate everyone on board. Only Vader or Palpatine would stand a chance due to their Force powers. Also the shields on the Borg Cube are light years ahead of any weapons the Imperials might throw at them. Just look at how the were able to hold off the Enterprise, the only reason the Enterprise was able to blow up the one Cube was b/c they were able to bring Picard back and he pretty much set a self destruct sequence, the other time Data earned their trust and was able to shut down their shields long enough for him to beam out and them to destroy it with a salvo of plasma torpedoes.

Didn't the Enterprise also win against them with the help of Q?

I focking love Star Trek and Star Wars! Actually, Q only helped the Enteprise survive their first encounter with the Borg. Picard and crew were getting thoroughly raped by the Borg and Picard had to BEG Q to get them the fock out of there...

The Borg would assimilate the Death Star pretty quickly. They'd only have issues if Vader and Palpatine were on board (and thats still a maybe). There was an episode of NG once were Riker offended some diplomat (I think he banged his wife) of some developing world. So this diplomat surrounds the Enteprise with a bunch small-ish attack crafts.

Data virtually scoffed at them, "Their lazers wouldn't even penetrate our sensory shields...". Phazer/Photon torpedo technology is far more powerful than lazers and ion cannons. As long as the Borg stay out of the way of the main cannon of the Death Star long enough to analyze and neutralize it (which wouldn't take long), they'd walk all over the DS.

But I wonder how the Borg's personal shields would fare in hand to hand combat against a Light Saber and Force Lightning? They'd probably adapt to the Light Saber and neutralize those, but can they do that to Force Lightning? Hmmm...

Same here. I've learned a crapload from all the posts about the Borg though.

Interesting.

Now is not a time though for me to become deeply rooted in yet another space fantasy
