    The Oralville has some not yet seen advantages over Discovery.
    It has reinforcing Fart-shield Technology... FST gathers fart gas from all areas of the ship and stores until needed. When activated, the gas is released in a bubble around the enemy combatant ship disabling it's defenses and rendering everyone aboard unconscious. Then the Oralville positions itself behind the now thoroughly gassed combatant ship, deploys its Cockram and commences screwing the enemy ship up its tailpipe.

    Its true! Word has it this will be seen in an upcoming episode of Family Guy. Peter will be watching an episode of The Oralville when those events occur. Peter will then break the forth wall, tell us how he wanted to do that on the actual show but the studio balked at the idea.

    I keed! I keed! :D But I do wonder how long until Seth plugs Oralville on Family Guy.

    OT: Discovery would spin circles around the Oralville.

    The medical technology is far superior on Orville. They make a new leg for someone like its nothing. You'd think the other technologies would be superior too in the same respect given their from the 25th century.

    I love STD. It's my second-favorite Star Trek series, and Lorca is rapidly becoming my favorite Captain.

    Whichever one was the good guy would win. If they are both good guys, then near the destruction of one another they realize their common foe and unite to go defeat someone else.

    Good guy always wins.

    Yeah like the entire show is based around a silly crew and their bumbling errors so, I kinda find this one pretty likely.

    Yeah I use STD and I love STD,

    I may also be fairly immature and cannot otherwise help myself.

    I'm not clear on how this thread has continued since this is obviously the only correct answer.

    A titan with a support fleet from Eve Online jumps in on cynosural field, activates doomsday weapon, blows everone up. Salvages the remains. Capsuleers sell the dogtags on the open market as rares. There.

    The Orville has the holo tech thing. Cruise up as a federation ship, have a hologram of Cornwall invite Lorca over and as long as LaMarr doesn't spill sprite on the controls it's all over.

    phasers, lasers, blasters, torpedoes, shuttles, fighters,

    Just sayin you get Malcom, Zoe, Jayne and Kaylee on board either ship, it's all over.

    Hijinks of the funny and capable + frontier cowboy attitude beats rock, paper, scissors, trek and pretty much everything else.

    It's not all about the technology.

    You gotta ask yourselves who's got the better maneuvers?

    Does "hugging the donkey" trump "spinning some 'shrooms"? :D

    Enterprise under Kirk. Shuts down all systems but Life Support. When Discovery and Orville move in to see what's going on, Kirk unleashes holy heck on both of them.

    Fade to black, end credits.

    If it were just between Orville and Discovery, I'm edging toward the Orville. They had 2 of the three Quantum engines blown off, shields next to out and still got out of a problem.

    Discovery gets a few shots in from a Klingon ship and shields are almost gone. Mudd even commented on Discovery's design flaw of being able to be destroyed so easily.

    Leaning towards Orville only because it's 25th century tech (weapons wise) VS 23rd century tech (and an infinite improbability Spore Drive ;)). If it were just the two Captains Lorca VS Mercer; Lorca would wipe the floor with mercer as ,mercer is just not a 'Combat oriented Captain.

    Mercer would be a lot funnier though.

    The Orville seems more maneuverable and better armed, but Lorca is the better combat officer.

    He could if he knew about the spore drive but unlikely if he just met Discovery while exploring, both ships probably have no idea what the other is capable of.

    Haters use STD for obvious reason which is why fans of discovery will never use it.

    Depends if the Orville has better technology then 25th century federation tech, it doesn't have transporter.

    We're talking in a military conflict? Come on now, Discovery would blow Orville to bits while Mercer was thinking of sardonic comments to make about cheating with a blue guy.
