would a covenant assault carrier vs a imperial I-class star destroyer from star wars would win in a battle?
Personaly I think the star destroyer would win because of its massive armament of 60 turbolasers, 60 ion cannons, 6 dual heavy turbolaser turrets, 2 dual heavy ion cannon turrets, 2 heavy quad turbolasers, three triple medium turbolasers, and 10 tractor beams. Plus 72 TIE fighters and bombers, are a lot of firepower.

And then a ZPM hive comes wondering in and rapes both ships with it's 50 GT per shot-200 shots per minute. LOL.

I am Katsu Kage, an assassin trained in the art of stealth. I was on a recon mission when I discovered a blue box hidden among some rubble. Once I entered the blue box it had taken me to a land far away. It was strange and fantastic! There I met PatikaVoom, the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. She showed me this land, then returned with me to the blue box. She called it a TARDIS and seemed to know how to work it. We left together and have been on many adventures, with many more to come!

star wars just tosses out crazy numbers AKA they be compensating for small manhood and George Lucas has no respect for sci-fi community

The Star Destroyer would decimate the Assault Carrier.

Pillar of Autumn would win

Down with Ulfric the killer of kings!
On the day of your death we will drink and we'll sing
We're the children of Skyrim
And we fight all out lives
And when Sovngarde beckons, every one of us dies

This is why the Star Destoryer would win

How many Assault Carriers have we seen go down on screen? 1. In a special circumstance. These things are designed to hold entire armies and serve as flagships.

Covenant Cruiser/Halcyon or Marathon class cruiser vs. Star Destroyer would be an even fight.

Super Star Destroyers are more up the AC's alley. I'm pretty sure they're the same size.

OK, I'm a star wars junkie, but personally i say. Supercarrier
(i know i copied and pasted this but here's the armamanet and completment)

Star Destroyer
* Dual heavy turbolaser turrets (6)[1]
* Dual heavy ion cannon turrets (2)[1]
* Quad heavy turbolasers (2)[1]
* Triple medium turbolasers (3)[1]
* Medium turbolasers (2)[1]
* Taim & Bak XX-9 heavy turbolasers (60)[1]
* Borstel NK-7 ion cannons (60)[1]
* Phylon Q7 tractor beam projectors (10)[6]

Complement

* TIE/ln starfighter (48)[1]
* TIE/sa bomber (12)[1]
* TIE boarding craft (12)[1]
* Lambda-class shuttles (8)[6]
* Delta-class stormtrooper transports (15)[1]
* Assault gunboats (5)[6]
* A variable number of Skipray Blastboats
* Gamma-class assault shuttle (1+)
* Repair and recovery vehicles
* Theta-class AT-AT barges
* Sentinel-class landing craft (12)[1]
* AT-AT walkers (20)[6]
* AT-ST walkers (30)[6]
* Prefabricated garrison base (1)
(I know everyone says "star Wars is just random numbers" but think of it, 20,000+ years of development could make those numbers, and the shields cancel out the effect for being powerful too)

Now here is the covenant Supercarrier
Armament

* At least seven energy projectors[citation needed]
* Plasma turrets
* Pulse laser turrets
* Plasma Torpedoes

Complement

* Seraph-class starfighters
* Banshees
* Spirits
* Phantoms
* Orbital Insertion Pods
* Boarding craft
* Shadows
* Scarabs

Now I know it doesn't specify numbers, but if the Supercarrier is beleived to be ~27Km (dwarfing the Star Destroyer) It is probably very hard to manuever. It DOES carry armies, but only what is listed is space-capable.

Assuming the Supercarrier is not backed by a guard fleet, then it is basically a sitting duck, because even if it is fast, the length of it would negate that fact. The ISD can travel at a max ~2,300G max. It could easily maneuver around the Supercarrier. With the supercarrier's length of ~27Km, and assuming that plasma turrets, missile pods, and laser turrets are all 100M, that would put one about every 270M apart, which equals about 100 of each type.

The Star Destroyer has the advantage in speed, but not in amrmament, no matter how powerful they are. you simply cant beat the sheer number of turrets, missiles, and lasers. PLUS, it has at least 7 energy projectors (which i beleive are the things that destoyed the UNSC Grafton) so if the ISD got anywhere within range by accident, goodbye.

now, and entire ISD fleet is differnt, ut one-on-one is definatley Supercarrier > ISD

(If there were any canon/fact problems with this, please correct me as i am doing some very rough math to guess the supercarrier's exact armament)

Huh? That makes absolutely no sense. An ISD could still be more powerful than the AC.

An ISD is a not a UNSC frigate. You can't say that an energy projector would destroy an ISD.

If it ain't my chair, it ain't my problem. That's what I say.

If the Assault Carrier manages to get above the Star Destroyer, then the Carrier would definitely win. Glassing beams are hard to counter.

1. Lemme rephrase that. If the Star Destroyer is 1.6 KM, and the SC is 27KM, then it makes perfect sense that concentrated fire from half of the cruiser (one half wouldn't be facing it) would have to do some damage to it. Maybe it wouldn't be destroyed, but I also don't think that an ISD would be able to disable and destroy a Covenant SC.

2. I see your logic with that, but regardless, I don't think that something like an ISD would be able to withstand a glassing beam. especially if they hit it in the main generator or bridge. Have a look at the layout of an ISD, the main reactor is close to the bridge, with the hangar in front of it. I think a beam meant for planetary bombardment would be wide enough to reach to the Main Reactor and the Bridge

That depends on the type of anti matter

Never say you're bored. Never say you're satisfied with the world. Never stop doubting or questioning things. Always wonder. Always think. But always take time to drop your guard, you don't have to be smart all the time.

Again with this..... when will people learn?
A star destroyer = cruiser, not assult carrier.
