Technologically speaking, the Star Trek Universe is more advanced than the Star Wars Universe

I will start by refuting my opponent's points. Speed If the reason for the speed of the ships in Star Wars is due ton hyperspace then it is not really due to technology so much as the fact that their Galaxy possesses special features that enhance travel speed. It would be analogous to using a Wormhole in Star Trek. Also, they were developing Transwarp which essentially allows travel anywhere in the galaxy almost instantaneously, in Star Trek by the time of the Excelsior, and we can't know how successful it was because Scotty sabotaged it and that is the reason the idea was abandoned for so long. [1] My opponent claims warp fails more than the hyper-drive in Star Wars, but the Millennium Falcon hyper-drive failed, granted it was due to sabotage but it still proves my opponent's point false. In terms of the size of the Galaxy I just wonder how official the numbers are. Firepower My opponent claims Blaster have a larger variety than weapons on star Trek. But on Star Trek there are several types of phasers, pistol riffle, not to mention Klingon Blasters, and as for ship weapons, you have phasers and photon Torpedoes, later on they will even gain proton torpedoes. [2] There was a wide array of weapons ins Star Trek [3] Not to mention the fact that in Star Trek the weapons on ships tend to be more accurately largely because they can track on to their target as opposed to manually aiming in Star Wars. In Star Trek even the smallest ships have shields that can maintain several hits while in Star Wars X-Wings seem to be able to be shot down fairly easily. Droids, Holograms and Transporters My opponent correctly points out that the proliferation of droids is much greater is Star Wars. However in Star Trek they have other things that serve the functions that would otherwise be served by droids. Engineers do much of the work that R2D2 does and humans can deal with problems better as seen by how many times Scotty overcomes impossible situations. Also, I will again bring up the universal translator which makes a droid like C-3PO unnecessary. ConstructionMy opponent brings up that the Ships in Star Wars are bigger, the Imperial ships are huge but not so much for the Rebel ships. For instance the Millennium Falcon is tiny at 34.37 meters long. [4] Compare that to the Enterprise for the Original series, it was Constitution Class which is 289 Meters. [5] I would remind my opponent that this was a comparably short period of time to develop the technology of these ships compared to those in Star Wars. Also, certain civilizations such as the Borg have much larger ships. Size however does not mean it's better. Size can be a hindrance in fact such as the scene where three Star Destroyers almost collide. How about the fact that it was a tiny X-Wing that took out the first Death Star? CloakingI would like to add cloaking abilities. The Kilingons and Romulans have these and the Federation at some point knows the technology but has an agreement not to use it (with exceptions coming along such as the Defiant in DS9). You don't really see cloaked ships in Star Wars. Genetic manipulationStar Trek has the augments, or superhuman, the most prominent example being Khan. They were created long before the time-line of the shows (in the 1990s). [6] Star Wars has clones but it appears they can only be created by a specifics races of aliens. [7]The Federation had toyed around with cloning technology since the time of Enterprise and groups such as the Dominion had been cloning for centuries. [8]Ignored pointsMy opponent ignored my point about the Genesis device and I will still maintain the power to create is far superior to the power to destroy. They also had Red matter much later which had the same effect as the Death Star, although much later they did eventually have the ability. I will also continue to maintain my point that technology in Star Trek advances at a much faster rate than Star Wars which is the true measure of how advanced something is.
