Quote:well, that's just Star Trek. 'Sides, Star Wars doesn't use lasers, they use blasters and turbolasers.
And ignore physics too. After all, lightsaber beams stop in midair and the Death Star... those seperate beams that make up the shot all magically meet in a spot in empty space...
Quote:that has nothing to do with them not having huge fleet actions,
Again, they do, which you'd know if you watched the latter few years of DS9.
And DJ, what is this ep you are talking about? Unless you mean they were shooting the Trek ships and doing no damage... because you couldn't shoot someone with a laser and do no harm, not if it was a laser weapon. And Trek people don't wear armor. :)
Oh, and if we're going to get technical, the only reason "phasers" aren't "lasers" is because Gene Roddenberry wanted something different and more futursitic sounding... :)
