Me and a few guys in the engineering building were having a debate today, and I figured it was post worthy.
If by some strange act of god, an assault fleet from the Empire were to make it to the EVE galaxy, what would happen? Who would win?
EVE --------- + Capable of specialization (DPS, tank, gang bonuses) + Pilots are more/less immortal + Cap ships and POS's take forever to kill + Titans + Weapons are more powerful + Capable of active tanking
- Individual ships are very vulnerable alone, especially capitals and BSes - Warp drives can be scrambled - Capital ships require cyno fields to get around - The empires + alliances dont get along
The Empire ---------- + VERY strong capital fleet + Cap ships are essentially Carriers with no limit on how many fighters are deployed + Cap ships have lots of medium/small guns. + Ships can jump without cyno fields + Fond of boarding ships and taking them over from within + Super tractor beams that completely lock down + capture smaller ships + Present a united front
- Ships are passive armor tankers (eww) - Dont seem capable of spider tanking either - Pilots not immortal - Turrets are inferior to battleship class weapons - Ships are stock, no specialization - No titan class ships
At the end of the debate it was decided that EVE would be better off fighting guerilla style, since a capital engagement would probably be a bad idea!
Ideas? Opinons? Flames welcome! |

Quote: + Cap ships have lots of medium/small guns.
this is one thing I would both want and not want to see in eve.
at least for titans and such, the idea of just being able to fit big guns doesn't fit into any sci-fi only eve.
I for one would still like to see titans at least have cluster modules, high solt weapons that can only target one ship but are shown graphically as 10-30 small arms fire.
the ships are HUGE. |

EVE winds hands down when it comes to ship size if I recall - the Super Star Destroyer is only about the size of a dread or mothership. |

the executioner, I think that's what it was called. it is as big as a titan? maybe not that big more like a mothership.
but even then lol. the deathstar would pWn any fleet...
but your overlooking the fact that a single fighter can take down the deathstar and everyone knows it's weakness. |

i was just about to say "No titans, wut?!"
look at the Superstardestroyers, those things are 18km long, so it IS a Titan in EVE. Deathstar is even more evil "This is Moon" |

Yeah, that's very true. So.. one little frig could sneak past the defense and blow the whole thing up. Silly Lucas..

oh yeah and you forget the fact that the Empires ships are Shield and Armor Passive Tankers. Only the TIE's where armor (lol) only but basically because they where throw away fighters much unlike their T2 Version, the TIE Interceptors.
Another plus for the StarWars ships would be the Ion Cannon, disabling other ships for an amount of time, unfunky, web,scram and jam all in one System. the other question would be how those completely different "Factions" react on each others technology. but that would spin it a bit too far lol

I'd leave the Death Star out of the argument since, lets be realistic, thats just not fair! Its basically a point + click solution to any caps or supercaps that EVE brings to the fight.
And I suppose saying that the Empire had no titans was a bit off. But there is only one Executor, one Death Star etc etc. I think BOB alone has like 6 titans

Ship size comparison (Eve vs other Sci Fi): http://dl.eve-files.com/media/0704/eve-comparison.jpg
Super Star Destroyer is basically a Titan, but without a superweapon.
As for the Deathstar; that superweapon is pretty nifty but it faces in one direction and that giant ball isn't the most nimble of ships, just hot drop a Titan and a load of dreads behind the Deathstar hit siege mode and fire your DD. Oh and be sure to tank for EM and thermal.
Even if the empire was winning the fight it'd be just a matter of time before they aggrevate the Jovians and then its bye bye Empire, don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.

Good point. But then it's still not harmless. Still has those fighter batallions, small turrets.
And if we remove that annoying and unrealistic 1-missile-in-the-exhaust-pipe-and-it-blows-up thing I'd imagine that it's effective HP would be absolutely staggering |

Titan jumps in behind the Deathstar at fairly close range and fires DD, the entire outer hull of the Deathstar would just be peeled off and you can wave goodbye to the fighter battalions with the push of a single button. Then Titan just has to work out which way the Deathstar is rotating and move in the same direction until it can jump back out. |

Star Wars has other super weapons too. Centerpoint or the Sun Crusher could make stars go nova. Also the size of the fleets that exist in the Star Wars universe make EvE blobs look like skirmishes. Also Wedge Antilles does not exist in EvE and Wedge>all |

remember they have interdictor cruisers which create planet sized warp scrambling fields.
the opposing fleet would get slagged, there would be much smack in local. -------------

*looks at the other 40-50 big vessels that would be very unhappy about that turn of events*
Thats also assuming that the DDD gets ALL of the fighters. Chances are that the fighters wont be engaging the titan directly, it would be smarter to send most of them at the frigates, cruisers, intys and such.
Most of the DPS on the titans would be coming from star destroyers and such, witch are probably well outside of DDD range.
And I've never flown/encountered a titan, but arent they unable to jump or warp for a while after launching their DDD?

----->It is also protected by 10,000 turbolaser batteries, 2,600 ion cannons, and at least 768 tractor beam projectors
You understand that the the turbolasers are anti-capital ship weapons, right? Same goes for the ion cannons. Also, the Empire have Interdictors aswell. Gl warping anywhere :) |

Simple, we get the Empire soldiers hooked on Crash and Exotic Dancers. They would then be dependant on us and have to trade their secrets |

A good starting point would be what kind of output do Eve weapons do and what kind of energy can Eve shields and armour take. Then compare that with Empire ships. |

1.Warp your Titan (an Avatar) and a sizable support fleet (enough to convince them you mean business) 100-200KM from the enemy Star Destroyer fleet, preferably between said fleet and the Death Star so TIE fighters launched from each would arrive at approximately the same time. 2. Once the TIE fighters are actively engaging your support fleet (which is tanked against EM/Thermal, lasers and all), fire off the DDD - this will annihilate the fighters and cripple most of the Star Destroyers. It will also probably have a MASSIVE effect against the Death Star because it will absorb over 30% of the TOTAL FORCE generated by the DDD. 3. Mop up remaining fleet while making sure any defenses located on the surface of the Death Star (assuming it's outer armor survived the DDD) are taken care of by the support fleet. 4. Focus fire on a specific point of the Death Star so you literally carve a hole as deep as you can into the superstructure while waiting for the DDD to recharge 5. Navigate the titan as close as possible to the hole blasted into the Death Star 6. Fire DDD again, watch the imperial moon shatter like a frozen gumball dropped off a roof.

Well starwars wins with small fighters as they have pure numbers, plus their big ship(deathstar)pwns most big ships very fast....
However our titan has area of affect so we nullify any of their smaller ships whilst our medium to large sized ships are far too many for the deathstar to take out single handedly.
Another words, good fight but eve wins.

Star Wars has the resources of an ENTIRE GALAXY rather than the bare handful of systems the EvE empires have access to.
