Well, I'm Star Wars again.
And I"m still a Jedi of Awesome (my own new class...it's so awesome that it kicks the crap outta any other Jedi out there. Complete Force mastery, unmatched lightsaber skills, and a brilliant strategist who is capable of commanding a massive military group).
I have one question...would having a Star Forge count as a superweapon?
Anyhow, I have command of the Rebel/New Republic Fleet. 5 Calamari Super Cruisers, 30 Calamari Cruisers, 75 Blockade Runners, 12 Wings of X-wings, 10 of A-wings, 4 of B-wings, and 3 wings of our new E-wings.
Oh yeah!
Ouch... Star Trek doesn't really have small fighters... If you arm them with projectile weapons, I'm screwed!
Anywho, My fleet moves in and engages, vastly outnumbering your forces. 2 of your blockade runners are captured and all crew assimilated. 1 cube severly damaged. My borg cubes (armed mainly with cutting rays and tractor beams) weapons are woefully underpowered to deal with your heavier calamari-built ships however.
All the Rebel/New Republic fighters in Star Wars come loaded with projectile weapons.
Specs (I could use the X-wing vs. TIE Fighter rules, but those are too complicated, so I'll just use the Rogue Squadron rules):
A-wing--8 Concussion Missiles (w/lock-on)
X-wing--6 Proton Torpedoes (w/lock-on)
B-wing--12 Proton Torpedoes (w/lock-on)
Y-wing-- 20 Ion Bombs (w/cluster damage, regenerating)
E-wing--16 Proton Torpedoes (w/lock-on)
I forgot to add in the fact that I have 8 wings of Y-wings.
Also, Y-, B-, and E-(I think) Wings have Ion Cannons along with their standard blasters. Different frequencies (if we wanna play by your rules...well, actually, ions are just charged electricity) mean that your Borg will continually have to adapt to either blaster fire or ion cannon fire.
In terms of durability, strongest to weakest goes: E-, B-, Y-, X-, A-.
Speed: A-, E-, X-, Y-, B-.
E-, X-, and Y-wings all have onboard Astromech droids that can make onboard repairs and basically give the ship a new life.
And I'm not making E-wings up, either. They're in the Star Wars offical guide to Vehicles and Fighters.(or something like that)
Anyhow, I'm gonna retreat right now because I have to get off the computer and I don't want my forces to be tampered with...unless I can form some sort of nonagression pact while I'm away...
Also, all the cruisers come equipped with Proton Torpedo and Concussion Missile tubes...I'm gonna check up on just how many later.
