I'm favor of the empire but those are biased reads. The Enterprise is not a warship it's a diplomatic vessel, yes it's been used in combat but the warfleet of the federation consists of different classes of ships using other forms of weaponry including the much more powerful quantum torpedo that I see was conveniently overlooked in this analysis.

Further, phasers act at a level higher than lasers, shielding in Star Wars requires two classes of protection against two different forms of torpedos, hell, ion cannons have the ability to damage the heaviest of warships. Also, how can you compare hyperspace to subspace, they both act on different physics principles regarding how an object will travel in an accelerated space.

i once saw a movie on atomfilms.com about star wars fans vs star trek fans, and it was really funny
