Also the Enterprise vs. Millennium Falcon debate has never ceased to confuse me, like, you’re basically wondering who’d win in a fight between a fully staffed US Navy research vessel armed with harpoons and torpedos and all sorts of other boat vessels OR your weedman and his sweet vintage van, his buddy riding shotgun with a crossbow
“the millenium falcon would wipe out the enterprise in seconds” lmao the enterprise is just an innocent science class floating thru space…. all they wanna do is look at some rocks… kiss an alien…. find some space plants….. why would you fight that its not a battleship theyre just nerds…… leave them olone
A friend of mine saw this and brought up some interesting arguments
so, in other words,
Pretty much.
here have some size comparison
The Enterprise can go toe-to-toe with Klingon and Romulan battleships. It is intended to be an explorer in deep space that can fight off literally anything the unfriendly universe can throw at it, while still getting clear, usable scientific data. Which means tons of both defensive and offensive capabilities. It’s pretty much a Starfleet flagship, so anyone whose gunning for Starfleet will be gunning for the Enterprise.
The Millenium Falcon’s main attribute is that it can do the the Kessel Run in as short a time and using as many shortcuts as physically possible and still get its cargo safely delivered. The Falcon is fast, and anything that might slow it down (for example, extraneous weaponry or defensive capabilities) has probably been removed by Han with extreme prejudice.
