Does the Glorianna have the advantage through sheer bulk, the amount of void shields, armor and mass?

Does the Glorianna have the advantage through sheer bulk, the amount of void shields, armor and mass?

The amount of shit the Enterprise's phasers and torpedoes can cut through is just so thick. And assuming they can even pinpoint a critical reactor that could actually cripple a ship the size of Manhattan island AND teleport through all those different shields, could they even assemble an away team capable of fighting it's way through a population of angry muscly slaves and cyborgs who know nothing but anal cramps and war?

Could the Entrprise even withstand a barrage from the smaller caliber Macro Cannons?

Could Picard negotiate a peaceful solution with them?

Why would you need to assemble an away team, beaming a proton torpedo directly adjacent to the main reactors on a ten second timer would do your job just as well.

That's if you can:

-Find the reactor, one of hundreds against the background radiation of kilometers of machinery that nobody has bothered to mask for centuries

-Beam through about ten different kinds of shields designed to ward off attacks in the tens of megatons ranges

-AND get close enough to teleport through a barrage of AA that is denser than LA Traffic on a Friday afternoon.

Yeah, if only transporters were affected by shields and metal thickness.
Oh, wait....
While we're at it, beaming explosives is a pretty inefficient way of destroying things, since you can use a transporter as a directed energy weapon

If it were that easy, why doesn't every other race that has teleporters (pretty much every one of them) use them against the Imperium?

>Could Picard negotiate a peaceful solution with them?

With no problems, if he himself executes this damn filthy xenos of course.

Good try with that fucking shit macro meme.

It works with SW ships not with retardely over the top 40k stuff famfalam.

That prow that is 6 times as high as the enterprise is long? That is for RAMMING OTHER SHIPS

Federation starships like to float about a kilometer in front of the ship they intend to fight and then both ships shoot each other until one surrenders or explodes.

>660m of "Look, deep down inside we are all the same! Let us be neighbors!"

vs

>20km of "PART THINE CHEEKS AND BITE THINE TONGUE HERITIC FILTH, I AM ENTERING UN-LUBRICATED!!"

>Could Picard negotiate a peaceful solution with them?

With Perturabo? Make a guess

Why? There's nothing warpy about transporters. All materium-tier tech.

You're probably thinking Void Shields, which don't anyway even in 40k.

Ships are vulnerable to teleporation attacks, which is in of itself a risk in 40k due to warp shenanigans and the technology's inaccuracy.

Star Trek teleportation isn't as limited, though there's a short 3-5 second period where ratings can grab guns and ready themselves to fend off boarding parties or scramble to cover. Which of course doesn't matter if they're teleporting in photon torpedoes.

But the ST teleport has a limited range that is well within a Glorianna's attack range, plus the ship has to drop shields for a solid 20-30 seconds. Assuming the barrage even lets up for a minute.

On that note, if the Enterprise is in the 40k setting, all the telepathic crew that aren't Vulcans are going to have a bad day.

I thought void shields did block teleporters. In the RPG, you need to co-ordinate your fire to take them down before you launch boarding parties.

On the topic of shields, and this is pretty sketchy logic, but the Enterprise D's shields laugh at lasers, and a lot of 40k weapons tech is comparable to their laser macrobatteries. I feel like they could defend themselves against a 40k ship's weapons.

Also, macrobatteries. They're not accurate. I feel like the D could get in close, maybe just get right up behind the 40k ship and forcefully penetrate its shields. They wouldn't be able to board the ship though; 40k ships have a lot more able seamen.

You're assuming the Federation ship is retarded enough to make a slow leisurely approach from the Gloriana's broadside, instead of dropping out of warp directly in their blind aft spot and using their vastly superior maneuverability and speed to remain there. Or even making an approach at full impulse, which IIRC is something like half to three quarters the speed of light.

Your assuming a Federation ship knows how to tactics

>You're assuming the Federation ship is retarded
have you even watched star trek? that's not an unfair assumption
>attempt to hail the bad guy three times while being shot

Certainly better at it then the guys who routinely charge across open fields.

>Federation
>Tactics

It is generally easier to charge across open fields than doing so across, say, forests.

Yes, pretty much. The Federation tells itself and its neighbours that they're pacifists who only fight when pressed, but reality is that they're a heavily militarized polity given that Starfleet controls very large sections of their government and society. It's pretty funny watching Picard talk about how Starfleet isn't a military organization while flying around in warships armed with multi-megaton scale weaponry.

No the Ent-D's shields laugh at the lasers used by a civilization far less advanced than the Federation. They're not magically immune to all radiant energy, or else photon torpedoes wouldn't be effective. One presumes that getting lit-up by a laser cannon the size of city blocks would result in considerable damage to the Enterprise.

>but the Enterprise D's shields laugh at lasers, and a lot of 40k weapons tech is comparable to their laser macrobatteries. I feel like they could defend themselves against a 40k ship's weapons.

you don't know 40k ship weapons

>The Nova Cannon itself is massive; the barrel is the length of all but the largest Imperial vessels. The projectiles have a diameter of at least 50 metres and are fired at close to light speed after being accelerated by gravimetric coils. When the projectile has travelled the predetermined distance, the warhead implodes with a force equivalent to several plasma bombs. This creates a blast zone the size of a small planet, powerful enough to destroy a Light Cruiser in a single hit or cripple even a Battleship.

Yes it is written by 6 year olds. Federation tech cannot compete with NUH UH MY SHIP IS BIGGUR

>game is made to be ridiculous over the top
>complains when game is ridiculous over the top

Its certainly no less ridiculous than the kumbaya let's all get along if we talk fantasy.

In both settings it is extremely hard to teleport thru shields with the more powerful the shields the harder it is to do so. The voyager, which is a newer class of ship then the Entrprise, only teleport pass scout ships shield and even then it takes a bit of time.

Void shields block teleportation of all kinds

It looks to me that from the size of the barrels on the Gloriana's main guns, it would fire rounds almost half the size of the Enterprise.

Now we know from several Star Trek movies that ramming is effective even with their high tech shields.

The simple impact of one shell that large is going to destroy or cripple the Enterprise.

That particular Glorianna class is the Iron Blood

>At the time of the Great Crusade, it was considered one of the mightiest capital ships in the galaxy, capable of single-handedly annihilating other void fleets and entire worlds.

>clad in armour tens of metres thick. She was without viewports, for the war doctrines of Perturabo made it clear the battle should be conducted by calculation and firepower, and viewports into the void war were nothing but vanity.

Size ain't everything.
Hell, size is fucking nothing when comparing settings so radically different.
