Who would win?
  • Not sure where you got in memory alpha that they can only adapt to phasers, this is what memory alpha has to say.

    The Borg were usually exceedingly quick to adapt; their shields would often nullify nearly any energy weapon, and their weapons could usually penetrate nearly any shield or defense, within minutes

  • Who would win?
  • I don't see how plasma weapons would do anything. The Borg are probably already adapted to be honest. The Romulans were rocking plasma torpedoes in the 23rd century, and there's no idea of just sending a bunch of TOS era warbirds against the Borg. The only reason the primary weapon would work is the raw power it has being able to simply overload anything in front of it.

    If the Borg personal shields aren't already adapted to storm troopers weapons they'll just blast through a few Borg, then they adapt their personal shields to compensate for the stormtrooper weapons.

    After that it's open season on turning the whole crew into drones and subverting the computer systems.

    The only thing that might be able to stop them if there was a force wielder on the death star, and they realised what was going on before even they'd be overwhelmed by the sheer number of assimilated crew.

  • Who would win?
  • The Borg would want that technology so after that first cube is destroyed they'd be back with enough firepower to overwhelm the shields and get drones on board. Even if they lost a couple of hundred cubes it would likely be worthwhile.

    The Borg have several trillions of drones many thousands to millions of vessels. They can go full Russia tactics with capturing the death star if needed.


    If this is the first death star though, they'd just beam some drones aboard while it was busy destroying them.

    There were small gaps in the shields of the first Death Star; the Empire believed that this was harmless since only small ships could wiggle through the gaps.

    If a small ship can get through then a transporter beam is definitely getting through.

  • Peak graphic design
  • Well, for one, its relationship to "Gaming" is tenuous, at best

    I agree it would potentially be better in a mildly interesting or a graphics design based community. But it is related to gaming, even if tenuously.

    There's nothing even remotely conversation worthy here. "Look at this neat design." Okay, and? What is the expected or desired response to that?

    And yet multiple people have managed to make responses. Discussing the design in relation to other Nintendo designs etc.

    Just because you couldn't think of something to add to the conversation doesn't mean others couldn't.

  • Who would win?
  • Yep, the raw power of the death star overcomes shields. But the Borg don't care about loosing multiple ships if the prize is worthwhile.

    Thinking about it how quickly can the death star even recharge and fire again after the first shot? If it's not quick then the Borg might only need to sacrifice one cube and a few thousand drones.

  • Who would win?
  • The first cube is obviously dead. But the Borg will send a decent amount of cubes next time, and even if the shields on the death star can block beaming will have them down and drones on board before every cube is gone.

    After that the Borg have a super sphere.

  • Who would win?
  • Assuming the death star started firing as soon as they encountered each other it still takes about 14 seconds to fire. You can get a lot of data in that time.

    You could also beam over a lot ( though you really only need one) of Borg in that time.

  • Ah shit
  • Tbh the question is just how big a majority labour get, and whether the Tories will even be the second biggest party.

    Nigel Frog Face Farage's far right Reform UK do look like they might get up to maybe 15%-20% of vote however. But thanks to our very unrepresentative FPTP system they're looking to get 0.15% to 0.31% of the members of parliament. In short they're facing the same issues that have held down the left in the UK for years.

    Adrian Tchaikovsky no longer condifers himself a Hugo Award winner.

    Based on this information, I cannot consider myself a Hugo winner and will not be citing the 2023 award result in my biographical details, or on this site.
