USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E, according to Memory Alpha. I wish I was able to remember the exact names of the ships.. They're not that complicated, but I still forget. :P

The Enterprise is a Galaxy Class.
Dreams, dreams are untapped and writhing. How much more real are dreams than that paltry existence which we now call reality? How shall we ascend to that which humanity is destined? By mastering the dreamworld of course. That is how, my pupils, that is how.

Rusvul

I know, I meant the NCC-1701-D part- never can remember it.

Delthion

What do you mean? You just did.

Rusvul

Nope, I looked further up on the page :P

I think starwars is still the best film ever
all of them.

Ah yes, reviving the external question: Which SciFi titan is king? I like both, equally. I can't choose.

Star Wars. However, an only canon war would yield to Star Trek, since their ships are more sophisticated...
Here's an article.

I really don't want to get deep into this, but there are lot of problems with that article. I'll just hit three of the highlights.

1) We can visibly see that turbolasers are not lasers. They're actually particle beams. The "Star Trek ships are invulnerable to lasers" argument gets trotted out every single time this argument has been held, but not only is the idea that any Federation ship can withstand any laser, even one of infinite power, technically unsound, and inconsistent with the series itself (the Borg cube's beam weapon is described as a "cutting laser"), it's completely irrelevant to Star Trek vs. Star Wars.

2) Transporters are not the all-powerful devices pro-Trek arguments consistently like to portray them as. They're prevented from working by lots of things, including some types of radiation, certain materials or minerals, and shields. The fact that Star Wars ships have shields has got to be the most routinely forgotten piece of information that's relevant to all of these debates.

3) Hyperdrives are much, much faster than warp drives. A ship like the Falcon can go across the entire galaxy in a matter of days. Voyager, under its own power, couldn't make it across the Delta Quadrant (just a portion of the Milky Way) in less than several decades.

Thank you, James, for saying that. I personally shun that article as accurate, maybe becasue I love star wars, or maybe because of what you said.

Star Wars wins because clones. They are just too awesome.

Done.

*kisses sev* Man, I love those guys! And Sev, especially.. oh wait, ST fans have no idea who Sev is! To bad for them, he'd wipe out the entire crew of the Enterprise alone, if he had to...
