Out of Pod Experience

Thats not a mushroomed shaped asteroid... Thats a starship.

That look less like a empires head to head...and more like the old Incredible Hulk tv show....

see! smartbombs

Vader's a glory seeker lol

I think people take the remote repair bit out of context a little.

True, amarr ships can repair armor, big help for sure. But that isn't to say that the star wars ships have no defenses at all. I would wager that the Star Wars ships have quite decent defenses at the end of the day.... just more shields

Star wars ships dont have armor at all... not in the same sense of the Empire where that is their main source of defense. And the Star wars ships shields DO recharge at quite a fast rate.... although the shields only protect against large blasts, its why small fighters are able to effectively destroy hard-points on the Star Destroyers, although not do significant damage to the ships themselves.

Another thing star wars does implment is boarders. Star destroyers do have a rather large complement of fighting troops while the Amarr ships really dont have anything significant in terms of ways to repel such a thing. Since we aren't talking about pod ships (just standard amarr navy ships), there would be alot of internal damage that could be done by a squad of gunny storm-troopers... Although admittedly finding their way aboard may be a tall order... More so if the ship doesn't have a drone bay.

I still think the Amarr empire would win. Be a great fight though.

HAHAHHAHAHA

The Hobbits would win with their Continuum Transfunctioner fueled by Dalek tears!

the star destroyer simply looks like it makes more sense. if a 19 kilometer long space vessel can be said to make sense at all.

i suppose if they couldn't take each other other out with weapons and such they could just resort to greek and roman warfare tactics of simply ramming each other. in which case the gallente ship looks to have a distinct advantage. lol

looking at that size comparison, it does remind me of another battle of empires I plan on doing... The IOM (Imperlium of man... warhammer 40k) vs the Amarr empire.

Yeah, the size thing does make it hard to compare... but the amount of 'heresy' that will be shouted during the battle is just... awsome...

Although there is always a chance the IOM ships will just get sucked into the warp and TKO themselves. Also IOM ships idea of defenses is their hull and void shields.

Void shields, for the uninitiated, are basically a barrier which has a send hostile projectiles to the warp (hell... in layman terms), most the time. Its not like shields in eve where they take damage until depleted. Void shields either work and send the attack to the warp (entirely negating the attack, no matter how large)... Or they don't... and the attack just slams right into the hull doing critical system damage. So the Titans doomsday weapon is either going to seriously mess with the ship, or be laughed off.

An ships for the 40k universe are very unstable beasts which draw their energy from the aforementioned warp. So that is something that would NEED to be taken into account in a battle. They also have no FTL travel beyond powerful pskyers pulling the entire ship into the warp and then (hopefully) pulling it back out where they want to be. Every trip, even short ones like from one planet to another within a solar system, requires this slow and dangerous process. I am going to give a break for the IOM by saying that the light of astardes reaches the system in question, otherwise Chaos invasion would be a guarantee.

The weapons of the IOM ships are quite formidable. One of those torpedo smashing into even a titan would surely cause fatal damage. Although luckily for the Amarr, they are counter-able. The torpedoes are very VERY slow and the turrets of Amarr ships would have little trouble tracking and destroying them (although the damage they would cause from the shock-wave should not be underestimated.

Likely their deadliest weapon against Amarr ships though would be the stormravens, small bording ships designed to smash into the hulls of hostile craft and deliver space marines inside. As noted against the Star Destroyers... The Amarr empire has NO significant defense against borders. A single kill team boarding a Amarr ship would spell its doom without question. The space marines would likely go unchallenged and frankly would tear apart any resistance with no trouble at all... Even if for some reason it had a squad of dust bunnies on board.

SO IOM V Amarr... I would give it to the IOM, although they would take losses.
on that matter, Amarr V Starwars...Good fight, pretty even on all sides, but Amarr empire would likely carry the day.
And lastly IOM v Starwars... Heh heh heh. Theres no chance in hell for starwars.
