Who would win in a war? Farsacpae vs Star trek?

[Sindatur]

I think it comes down to Lwaxana's wiles and empathic powers versus Grayza's Breastsweat

It's been a while since I saw Scape, but do they have transporter tech? If not, that alone should give the Feddies an edge. Transporters can be used offensively in very creative ways that we haven't much seen from Trek...

Also, the Scape writers don't mollycoddle the PKs the way Trek writers do for the Feds, who Always Win(TM).

Farscape has no transporters, and they barely have shields.

But they do have universe-destroying wormhole weapons.

That makes things interesting. It comes down to the element of surprise. The Feds need to use their transporters against the poorly shielded PKs in a knockout attack before the PKs can counter with their wormhole weapons, which are the trump card the Feds have no defense against.

The Federation, because in the end they had the higher production budget and would just spend the Peacekeepers in to the ground. The PK's would eventually be forced to re-use battle footage or use stock footage while the Federation could just create new ships the PK's didn't have footage of, therefore couldn't destroy.

Nope. The Federation is a moneyless system.

Ah, but the Feddies can "spend" their competition into the ground because they have some kind of limitless energy supply (which is what renders money moot). If you can beam people around space and assemble anything you want from atoms, how can anyone beat you unless they deploy a doomsday weapon?

Now I miss BOTH Star Trek and Farscape!

But the federation puts to much value on sentient life, remember janeways horror when those primtive aliens with the weird hair used stolen teleporters to kill people, they wouldn't have the violent nature to use their advantage of the teleporters beyond trying boarding parties, and I wouldn't wanna board a command carrier.

I think the Feds have it easily. They are more organized, they have a better economy and superior technology, and anyone who has seen DS9 knows that this:

"Let me tell you something about Hew-mons, nephew. They're a wonderful, friendly people – as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts... deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers... put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time... and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people will become as nasty and violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon. You don't believe me? Look at those faces, look at their eyes..." - Quark

Me too.

But I think the real question here is, who would win in a hand to hand combat: Dargo or Worf?

 

[Checkmate]

Sadly, the Federation will always win because they have one thing Farscape doesn't: Technobabble.

 

[Anwar]

Farscape has "I don't-give-a-damn" babble: Whenever anything bizarre or physics defying happens they just say "Don't question it, it just happens and we don't have an explanation".

Just as lazy as technobabble, really.

 

[Checkmate]

Yes, but it doesn't win wars against unstoppable enemies, either. If Crichton were to join up with the Peacekeepers and unleash a wormhole, a single Starfleet engineer could counter it with a not-so-quick babbling of the mouth. Give him a few minutes (even if he says he'll need hours), and he'll be able to duplicate it and/or turn it against the Peacekeepers.

 

[LitmusDragon]

I think the Federation tech is too far in advance of the Peacekeeper tech. The Federation is larger, too, and they have more resources.

The Scarran I think would do better against the Federation because they have several abilities the Feds aren't used to dealing with, whereas the Peacekeepers are basically a less advanced, more warlike version of Federation tech.

 

[God Magnus]

Lets examine Starfleet weapon. Main weapons Photon/Quantum torpedeos. Which are FTL and Phasers, Which are Light Speed.

And let's not forget that wonderful techno plot device...the Navigational deflector! http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Navigational_deflector

 

[Anwar]

And the Feds already have their own type of wormhole weapon: Large-Scale Teleporters. They build a big enough one, and transport part of a Star into the path of a Peacekeeper/Scarran armada. Same effect as the Wormhome Solar Cannon really.

 

[RandyS]

Sadly, the Federation will always win because they have one thing Farscape doesn't: Technobabble.

So, what are you saying? That the Federation will talk to the Peacekeepers until they commit suicide just to end the pain?

 

[mswood]

Seriously this isn't even close.

Fed has weapons and craft that can fight at faster then light speed, have deflectors, that can withstand weapons that destroys cities, have the ability to teleport, have range weapons that are beyond any we saw the Peace keepers use, have computers and scanning equipment far beyond anything we see the peace keepers use.

I mean Kirk's Enterprise had the ability to destroy every city on a planet. Have we seen a peace Keeper ship able to seriously do such feats.

Now I love Farscape (its such a whacked show), but the technology isn't even close to Kirk era Federation (hell I think the Vulcans and Archer could kick the Peace Keeper's ass)

 

[Temis the Vorta]

The Feds would slingshot around the sun, go back in time, and defeat the PKs before they ever knew they were at war.

And if the slingshot doesn't work, they could borrow the Bajoran Orb of Time. Or just go ask Future Guy for an assist.

 

[Kegg]

A more meaningful question:

Kirk versus Crichton. Who'd outhero who, in the end?

But all Crichton needs to do is hop down a wormhole and create an Unrealized Reality where the Federation never existed in the first.

 

[mswood]

Who is this Crichton people keep bring up. THe poster asked who would win Peacekeepers or the Federation.

Crichton is not nor has he ever been a Peace Keeper. He has impersonated one, but he is not a member of that organization. Thus warp hole technology is not something that the Peacekeepers have in their arsenal.

I mean hell you could at least make an argument in the Federation for Wesley (Please kill me now) as he has been a member of starfleet, is a federation citizen and has some extraordinary capabilities (again please kill me now). And certainly the Federation has access to time travel, both its ships and a couple of its citizens.

The Peacekeepers do not.

Th Peacekeepers would be no match for the Federation.

The Shat vs. that poser Ben Browder? Really?

Unless Scorpius finds a way to trick Crichton into doing it.

The universe would end as two powerful fates try to outdo the other...
