Has anyone made a Star Trek Total Conversion for X-Wing Alliance?
If so plese post the site of download.

I believe there's a half-decent Stargazer model (Picard's first command) around here somewhere, but no, no actual shipset.

'Sata,' I've heard that name before, isn't it a girl's name?

(As in a certain jade-green female samurai, perhaps?)

Yeah I got a Stargazer OPT. I was actually working on a full conversion and the Stargazer was ship #1, I had all the stats done up for a dozen or so ships but I just lost interest in the idea. If you check my Projects page, you'll see that my Klingon Bird Of Prey has been put on hold because it was giving me so much hassel.

I kinda lost interest in building existing models if you know what I mean.

I don't think the Defiant is from Steele, I played with it once (long ago --forgot the URL) and it's lousy. Doesn't even look vaguely like Sisko's baby.

Beasie was obviosly thinking of a different, inferior model. I think I played with it once too. I deleted after I found that I could shoot it everywhere except for the very center of its 'saucer' and the 'cockpit' without inflicting any damage.

I guess having a Star Trek model for XWA would be good but the physics is all wrong. Star Trek ships can rip Star Wars ships to shreds. It saddens me to say this I am a die hard wars fan. They have this funny thing called targeting. We should try it sometime :P.

Also, Star Trek cap ships move like starfighters (at least in DS9).

Try giving the Defiant the stats for the A-wing or a heavily shielded Squint.

Um, ST ships rip apart SW ships? (insert hysterical laughing here) Um, I think an ISDII could outfight a Galaxy-class ship any day. Even if it separated hull from saucer. Also, let's see 'em hit a squadron of Squints that are buzzing around.

Also, in Generations, it'd take 'em forever to get a lock on a warhead that they didn't know the exact location of launch, so a squadron of B-Wings with rockets/adv torps would SHRED an ST ship.

Also, if you take in physics, a moving ST ship that goes really fast would slam into the warheads to cause them to detonate, also adding inertial damage to it.

Face it, soeed is the Fed's only advantage against SW ships.


As for Romulans, their ships are large & powerful. They'd put up a good fight, if not win. Cloaking is also an advantage. Anything short of a GCT couldn't detect it. Cloaked firing isn't possible, but it'd sure annoy the he11 outta the SW guys.


Klingons, they wield their way with fast, deadly light attack ships that rely on swarms to defeat opponents easily and ruthlessly. Much like SW ships, really. They're the best match for SW ships, since speed gives them an advantage, and they're not afraid to blow the enemy out of the water.


Cardassians (w/out Dominion support). While they could find out all about the SW guys, it wouldn't do them an inch of good in the long run. That, and they have NO empire, and thus no resources to draw on, since they're too centralised on their homeworld. Nice thought, though.


The Alliance (mirror universe) would rip apart anything short of an SSD, I admit. They use HUGE fleets and overwhelming firepower to blast apart their opposition. And if they discovered the shield generator problem...


The Dominion is a very nice match for the SW universe if you prefer the Imperial techniques, but the Rebs would probably give mercy, and they'd take forever to fight these guys.


Also, these figures also ignore if the Yuuzhan Vong got involved. Believe me, if the Yuuzhan Vong got into the ST universe, there'd be nothing left but rubble...

I have no idea as to the point of this post.

I wouldn't say ST ships could tear apart SW ships (unless we're talking about the Borg http://www.xwingalliance.com/forums/wink.gif) ). I just said that ST craft are proportionately much faster and more agile than SW cap ships.

Oh, and your calculations disregard that ST ships have better shields than SW ships; for combat purposes, all ST ships are particle-shielded

In Star Wars, most ships are ray-shielded, but solid attacks can breach them. In Star Trek, solid objects tend to bounce off shields.

<small>That was as civil as I can make it; I hope Nob doesn't shut us down.</small>

Actually, SW ships have ray AND particle shielding. You can check it out by reading "the courtship of princess leia", paberback edition, page 355, lines 14/15. Hope that's precise enough 4 u http://www.xwingalliance.com/forums/wink.gif)

Isn't that similar to what everyone said about the Death Star being destroyed by a snubfighter? http://www.xwingalliance.com/forums/wink.gif)

Besides, a ship is only as good as it's commander. I'd follow Picard against any Imp leader we've seen (except Darth himself) anyday.

Rebel SpecForces used to refer to Star Destroyers as:

72'000 design flaws waiting to be exploited.

Note the shield generators riding on the outer hull. Note the Bridge hanging off the front of the superstructure. Note the hangars that are only kept pressurized by a forcefield.

Besides, the Enterprise is fast enough at sublight to out-run and out-manoeuvre an ISD.

ok first problem i see here is on that chart. the executor was only about 9000 meters if i remember correctly. the eclipse was closer to 18000 meters. i think the eclipse was twice the length and 5 times the mass of the SSD. oh and the dominion drednaught was 4800 meters long and has 150 poleron beam banks. more guns than the SSD.

The ST ships are a HELL of a lot faster both at superluminal and subluminal speeds. warp 2 is 10 times the speed of light. .5 past light speed is only twice the speed of light.

ST weapons are also much more powerful. If you remember back to the early days of ST they were replacing lasers with phasers and disrtuptors.

And remember they dont have antimatter reactors in SW they only have fusion.

A ST ship can generate in the Terawatt range with its reactor. Only the Death star could generate such power in SW

Kurgan: yeah, but the Sun Crusher, if you remember, was nearly roasted by the prototype DS's superlaser. Also, look at the distances before you judge the speed. And if the Feds went up to war vs. the NR or the Vong, there's a heck of a lot of more planets in either than the Federation.

Not to start a SW/ST who's better war or anything...

Um, no it isn't.

SW ships are faster in hyperspace than Starfleet ships. ".5" (x0.5) is the Falcon's modifier; meaning that it can make a six-day(according to Standard Galactic Distance ratings) trip in 3 days (6 x 0.5 = 3). Military ships in SW are rated with a x1 modifier, meaning that a six-day trip takes 6 days. The original hyperdrive for a YT-1300 is x2 (typical for civillian craft), meaning that it'd take 12 days (6 x 2 = 12) on that trip.

Hyperspace is more like transwarp than warp; only the Borg could keep up with the Falcon when she's on full-burn.

But, Starfleet craft (in general, mind) are faster at sublight than their SW conterparts.

I wasn't saying either is better; I was just pointing out that the advantages that SW ships have are different than the advantages that ST ships have.

I didn't mean to be offensive.

I'd like a ST TC, but I have absolutely no XWA editing talent to contribute. I'd (as you can see) be happy to help with stats and craft comparison.
