What are you saying?
The crossbow guy shoots 1 out of every 10 times on target! Can the Enterprise to better than that? Do they have something like targeting computers that hit every time?
But well, I have only ever seen people asking about the Enterprise against the Death Star or the Enterprise against a destroyer. On both cases the Enterprise can destroy the ships without even getting in their ranges, of course, but it’s more than a pair of smugglers.
This feels like a bit of a straw-man. In my youthful nonsensical cross-franchise pissing-match days, we pitted the Enterprise versus a Star Destroyer, or at least some other capital ship.
Unless you were asking which one was cooler, in which case the Falcon wins every day and twice on Sunday.
Yah, because you could drive it. Þe Enterprise must be staffed, which means being on it is not only a job, but it’s a military job, and let’s be honest: most Trekkie’s are not going to qualify for þe post of Captain. Which means you’re going where someone else wants to go, and doing what someone else wants you to do.
Þe Falcon is Freedom.
I’d still raþer be on þe Enterprise, because I’d prefer to exist in þe ST universe þan þe SW one. But you can never “own” þe Enterprise. You only operate it wiþin a vast military support network.
I’m pretty sure Geordie “owns” The Enterprise D in Picard.
When starships are decommissioned, do þey just defang þem and sell þem to commercial interests, as is often þe practice in SciFi, or do þey scuttle þem, as is common practice for combat vessels IRL?
THE THORN MAN LIVES.
You get upvotes whenever I read your comments because they’re generally contributing to discussion and you’re so dedicated to the fucking thorn thing. You’ve won me over.
Cheers! And happy new year!
This is like asking “Who would win in a fight, a submarine or a jet?”
The two combat styles aren’t comparable. Star Trek is based on naval battles, in fact, IMHO, the very best OG Trek episode, “Balance of Terror” was based on a WWII set submarine combat novel and movie called “The Enemy Below”:

Lucas specifically wanted Star Wars to emulate air combat and dogfights.
Not so much a vintage van as a vintage semi-trailer truck.
The millennium falcon is shit even in universe
You came in THAT thing??
The millennium falcon has a fuck ton of modifications made to it that actually make it a good ship. The issue is that it’s all slapped together redneck style so it’s very unreliable. Han’s claim that it’s the fastest ship in the galaxy is not actually that far off. It has a Class 0.5 Hyperdrive, which is the fastest hyperdrive in both canon and legends (with a few very obscure and circumstance-dependant exceptions, like the Jabitha and Aing-tii).
Ok. So I guess Leia think it’s shit because it looks badly put together
Aaaand doesn’t it constantly require maintenance due to this?
The millennium falcon is essentially an old Cessna plane crammed full of equipment from a military jet, held together by duct tape, spit, and good vibes. It is constantly breaking down because everything from its armor, to its engines, to its power core was never designed for a ship that size. But when it does work, it punches WAY above its class.
