A Mon Calamari class cruiser vs a Dominion battleship

[Admiral Breetai]

battle takes place over Dantooine Mon Cal has 400 a wing fighters as back up the battle cruisers has four bugs to focus on the fighters

slug fest between monster cap ships who wins!

In the first five seconds, the Dominion ship fires a full volley of torpedoes and poleron beams at the Mon Calamari. A split second later, the Mon Calamari ship explodes. The bugs and the battle ship then spend the next fifteen minutes picking off the fighters.

[Mr. Oragahn]

Based on what Lucas has really decided to represent his universe... all other potential avenues be damned...

even if the Dominion battleship sits in range of the Mon Cal cruiser's weapons, they'll be too weak to threaten the battleship, and its redundant shields won't prove enough.

Again, Breentai, you are spamming random vs posts of whose debates are going to devolve into the same arguments.

In the ESB novel, Ackbar was confortably watching thermonuclear (explicitly stated) warheads hit his Mon Calamari Home One. Said thermonuclear weapons in Star Wars are powerful enough so that a guy with a bomb small enough to pass as a communications device strapped to his chest created a one kilometer fireball, equivalent to about 10 megatons. Even if anti warship, starship mounted torpedos are only five times the size of what was basically a suicide bomb, Home One was casually tanking sqaudrans of tie fighters and tie bombers dropping loads of 50 megaton photon torpedos, and Ackbar was showing no signs that shields were failing.

What makes you think they're bigger?

They're probably much smaller, given that torpedoes aren't that large in comparison to their fighters/bombers to begin with and most of that is going to be taken up by fuel, not the actual bomb. Give me the quote in reference to what this man was wearing--oh yeah, and the quote that gives the actual size of the fireball. And nor does it mean, because this man had a 9 megaton bomb strapped to his chest, that it would mean that the same energy yield would apply to torpedoes.

If anything, we should scale up from the old ICS, where it states the proton torpedoes to have a yield of 1 kiloton each. That's much more reasonable since all we have to do is scale up the entire missile since the actual warhead to fuel size should remain consistent.
