Sirus just can't handle his schwartz.

He obviously hates yogurt.

What can I say? I hate crappy parodies. To me, Space Balls is on the same level of "wit" as the Scary Movie series.

[Hanslanda]

Obviously his is a... Lone Starr? No? Fail? Fail.

He must not like Drewish princesses... No. Shit. This is harder than it looks...

Sirus must not like Barf either? Meh, I'll keep it.

[Flying Dice]

Oh, the Drewish princesses would have been fine, but they always come with a bunch of excess baggage that you can't seem to get rid of.

Given that Spaceballs actually has a plot, I rank it above ... them.

His fan radar has been ... jammed?

I just thought of something- Who would win in these battles-
Prophet (Crysis) vs Master Chief (Halo)
Deathstar (Star Wars) vs Reaper dreadnaught (Mass Effect)
Flood (Halo) vs Necromorphs (Dead Space)
and finally, Adam Jensen vs J.C Denton

Space Balls is fucking hilarious. Mel Brooks is a comedic genius.

I must agree.  That movie was brilliant. 

[Hanslanda]

* Hans gives Sirus the raspberry.

[Flying Dice]

If the Flood amassed enough biomass to form a Gravemind, they would win. If they are capable of assimilating necromorphs, they win. Otherwise the necros win.


Death Star vs. the Dreadnaught isn't even a challenge. After all, the Dreadnaught is not a snub fighter piloted by a plucky young farmboy.

Well ... a dreadnaught (assuming Soverign was one) was able to handle and entire fleet's output of fire without flinching and the only reason it died was because Shepard offed it in it's Saren body. Assuming it is able to manoevur to avoid the DEATH LAZOR, which I think it could, at least before it powered up, it could probably withstand whatever the turbolasers on the Star could put out and blow it up from the other side where the planet destroying laser isn't on.

[Sirus]

Except that ships in the ME universe are on a different, smaller scale than the SW universe. The Death Star has something like 25,000 turbolasers, when Star Destroyers only have 50. Do the math

[Flying Dice]

Recall: Mass Effect ships are absolute garbage. Their shields are only good for stopping physical projectiles. ST weapons are either energy or plasma, save for the torpedoes. That aside, the only size estimates I could find for the Sovereign was 2km length. The DS-2 is 900 kilometers in diameter, if we're going with a completed DS-2 rather than the DS-1 (which was "only" 160km in diameter). To boot, both have shields which can block both physical projectiles and energy weapons.


Even if it came down to a literal battle of attrition with each combatant grinding down the other, the Death Star would win by virtue of being a fucking artificial moon covered in weapons.

By way of reference, an Imperial-class ISD is 1.6km in length. In other words, the Sovereign is only slightly larger than an ISD and has significantly worse weapons and shield tech, and plenty of ISDs have been destroyed by piddly rebel ships. To boot, ST FTL doesn't rely on anything external to the ship. The Death Star could easily kite the Sovereign, making microjumps in to fire the main laser, jumping away and recharging, then jumping back.

No contest. Put the Sovereign against, say, a Super Star Destroyer and it might be a fair fight. Maybe.

Just kidding, the smallest SSDs are still longer than the Sovereign.


Let's be honest here, Mass Effect tech sucks royally in comparison to just about any other mildly competent SF verse. That's why crossovers with it almost invariably are either curbstomps or small/recovering factions encountering the ME universe at large.

[Sirus]

The only real advantages ME has over a lot of other universes are the mass effect fields and biotics, and even then those can be emulated. I mostly like ME for the story and characters anyway, not because the tech is so much more impressive than other universes.

[Xantalos]

25000+50=25050.
?
Still, they can't all fire on it at once. The DS is what, 5000 miles long? A reaper ship is ~1 or 2.5, from what I remember. The amount of turbolasers the Death Star would have in a 1 mile radius wouldn't be 25000. Still, the Death Star would probably win due to Force hax or something.
A fleet of Reapers, on the other hand...

Or FD could pull up actual specs.

I just thought of something- Who would win in these battles-
Prophet (Crysis) vs Master Chief (Halo)

I'd bet on Master Chief. The nanosuits are impressive, but I think the Mjolinr armor is on a whole other level. The Halo universe also has higher tech weapons.
Prophet might be able to hold out until his suit runs out of charge, but then I think that's it for him.

Deathstar (Star Wars) vs Reaper dreadnaught (Mass Effect)

I love ME, but the Death Star wins, no contest.
A single Reaper can't win against a battlestation the size of a moon, it just won't happen.
SW weapons are mostly energy based, so they would probably partially bypass the Reaper's shields, and the Reaper doesn't have the kind of firepower to take down something that huge.

Then again, the DS seems to rely mostly on other ships to combat smaller enemies. Maybe the Reaper would be agile enough to dodge it?
(Note that I haven't seen SW in years and have no knowledge of the extended universe, so I might be wrong about any or all of this.)

Flood (Halo) vs Necromorphs (Dead Space)

I'm not too knowlegable about either of these, but I think the flood would win.
