I saw someone on Reddit wondering why the community was so sure of Trek going dark again with Paramount not doing so well financially. Seeing the response was unfortunate as most people feel that it might be a bad time for Trek. And I guess it makes sense with the Hollywood strikes as well.
But I was curious what Lemmy thought. Maybe im in denial too but I’m curious if you guys think the worry is warranted.

Both franchises are apt to hand-wave science, so who knows? How does a warp drive compare to a hyperdrive? Blasters to phasers? Thermo detonators to photon torpedoes? Star Wars doesn’t seem to have matter/energy manipulation like replicators and transporters, though, so Trek has an edge there.
How do you compare the destructive power of one fantasy laser beam with another?
Besides, even if the Enterprise is outgunned by a Star Destroyer, LaForge will just reroute warp plasma through the main deflector array.
@NuPNuA @atlasraven31 Interesting question. Well, here is my guess: X-Wings, Y-Wings, TIE Fighters and other small vessels are no threat for star trek ships. Their deadly precise Phasers or Disruptors will destroy them almost instantly. Extremely big structures like Death Star, will be a problem due to their sheer mass and firepower. Medium sized vessels like Star Destroyers could be equal, but the very exposed bridge and sensors are easily destructible with Photon- or Quantumtorpedos.
