SSD vs CSS
If a Super Star Destroyer was pitted up against a Covenant Supercarrier and they fought in an epic battle, who would come out victorious?
My vote goes toward the Super Star Destroyer

Theoretical cross-franchise combat is silly. Apples and Oranges, mate.

Re: SSD vs CSS
Yep, Hebes is right, besides different sci-fi series have different rules, there is a ton of technobabble to go through in order to find a common ground in (fictional) physics and define which one is more powerful and efficient.
Covenant Supercarriers are quite gigantic though, so I guess they could win by simply ramming the thing, physics be darned.

Re: SSD vs CSS
Nah, I don't have any pics but you can read up in wikipedia. They both seem to be equal in length (I think the Super Star Destroyer is longer, though).Anakin wrote:have you maybe pics or videos of them while batteling or some informations about their weapons??

Can you warp the middle of an SSD to a different galaxy?

Re: SSD vs CSS
Blatant contradiction in that statement aside, the length of the Halo ship is much greater according to the information in the wiki articles:Nova Hawk wrote:Nah, I don't have any pics but you can read up in wikipedia.

Re: SSD vs CSS
I think the SSD would win, its got better maneuverability thanks to its size, and doesn't the CSS have a fixed cannon on the front? 1 or 2 hits from that cannon would probably eat through the SSD's shields, butt he SSD could probably out maneuver it.

This would require me to be both a star wars and halo geek.

Re: SSD vs CSS
I personally think the Supercarrier would win, due to the fact that they have a few significant structural advantages. While a normal Star Destroyer doesn't, an SSD practially has a city on the top, and the bridge is just jutting straight out, not to mention it isn't quite as thick. A Supercarrier, however, is a solid blob all the way through, with no bridge or city to speak of.

Re: SSD vs CSS
Hmm, both vessels are considered super, but one is a destroyer and the other a carrier... the former is the taker of life and the latter the giver of life... so logically, doesn't that mean the destroyer wins?

I concur :plokoon:
I see no flaws in that logic

Re: SSD vs CSS
Hence why ramming other ships seems like a perfectly reasonable strategy to me, in this case.Fluffy_the_ic wrote:A Supercarrier, however, is a solid blob all the way through, with no bridge or city to speak of.

Re: SSD vs CSS
I was picturing that when I posted that. I mean, an SSD can't be more than a kilometer or so thick if it's 19 long, but a Supercarrier has got to be at least 3 or 4km thick, and it's much sturdier. Not to mention the Covenant would so ram another ship if necessary.Nihillo wrote:Hence why ramming other ships seems like a perfectly reasonable strategy to me, in this case.Fluffy_the_ic wrote:A Supercarrier, however, is a solid blob all the way through, with no bridge or city to speak of.

At 29 km I think "difficult to hit" is a bit of an oxymoron...acryptozoo wrote: also its profile looks harder to hit than the SSD
