(Unless the commander was a moron with an external shield)

So yeah... I think Wars wins in a "whose fans can debate better?" debate.
Yawn. noob

From what I can tell from the EU the turbolasers, and by extension most capital ship weapons, are explosive shells wrapped in energy to propel them at their target.

I think the ion canon however is energy so the Borg could adapt to it after a few shots, though reasonably it could instantly disable any cube it hits, the bigger question is can you remodulate a ion cannon?
Shells are old school baby, do phasers leave a large wastfull mess behind?

It'd be interesting to see how well a Borg Cube could cope with a full volley from the Ion cannons, though. Glorified cyborgs being hit by ionised particles that fuse joints and cause short circuits... can't see it ending well for them.
Even if they manage to destroy a cube or two, the Borg ADAPT to weapons of any power, its just a matter of time, now if the death star was equipped with a Bio Phaser, or tech 50yrs more advanced than what the Borg (or Starfleet) use, (for star wars it would be like 100,000,000,000yrs) that would be different.

Ok, listen everyone, I'm so very sorry for calling you names and being mean, t's just when it comes to topics like this (which I probably should not have made) I get really mad, this may be a Star Trek site, but that dose'nt mean that people can't like star wars better, I truly am sorry, but when it comes down to it, Star Trek still have a big edge against star wars, just think of the creativity between the two, star wars: lazers, blasters, hyperdrive, death star, I just see that as somthing a three year old made up, another backup for the story line in star wars being lame, it's basicly good vs bad, while in Star Trek you never really know whats going to happen next (except in DS9 it was basicly a high tech war) i have also noticed that in star wars the three films don't have very good quality, even in TOS while the grafics were really bad the quallity of the shows was amazing for it's time.

Except for the dozens of Negative Space Wedgie and Swirly Energy Thingie plots, which could only be solved through Techno Babble.

SW is pretty much bad guys VS good guys. In ST however it isn't always as clear cut, most times it is a grey area with no clear right answers or course of action.
Although I agree Star Wars is your basic good versus evil story, Trek tends to be preachy. Episodes usually pose an ethical dilemma, which is resolved by the captain at the end of the episode. You can always count on Picard to explain the right choice.

Who cares, really. It's a highly focused energy beam. Call it a laser, phaser or deadly super duper death ray of death, it's all the same thing.

George Takei deserves to be president of the world, but he's too smart to do it.

It was pretty much a joke as time went on. Any issue was solved with using antiproton/reversethepolarity/ super magic particles in TNG.

While theres nothing wrong with a moral to a story, this is one of the things I hated about TNG in particular. I know this will really make some posters unhappy, but the whole "humaniy bhas evolved into this perfect society" irked me. It makes bad draa, and they didn't even live up to it in the writing. Corrupt admirals, and all. The most interesting heroes are the ones that have flaws. This is where, IMHO TNG is weak. In trek shows and even ENT had characters that were more engaging. Again thats my opinion.
