Star Destroyer Vs Protoss Carrier
November 28, 2008 by admin
For the sake of this battle, the vehicles that each craft transports are to be included as factors t the outcome.
Both bring a lot to the table, but the Protoss Carrier is more nimble which could give it the upper hand.
How does this play out?

well i heard star destroyers usauly carry 72 tie fighters,in star craft the carriers only have like 6,although i dont know if thats a game mechanic.
I’m sure it is, however (except the Psy “tech”) I think the SW universe is technically more advanced than the Protoss (especially in a few areas). Considering all a Carrier has is fighters while a SD is bristling with weapons and covered in incredibly durable armor, and has fighters….I’m thinking the SD would come out on top fairly easily…..
Despite being heavily armoured, the Protoss Carrier has no weapons batteries of any kind; and thus is reliant upon the support of Protoss interceptor craft, of which the carrier only fields a tiny fleet of six. In fleet combat it requires auxiliary support from Frigates and Cruisers who provide the majority of close quarters defence and firepower.
The Star Destroyer not only carries a contingent of 72 fighters, but can provide overwhelming firepower with the assistance of several dozen Turbolasers and an anti-ship Ion Cannon capable of rendering the Protoss fleet inert. In combat it would decimate the Protoss carrier easily.
Im inclined to agree with L-W.
the star destroyer… but if you look at the sheer difrence in size if the protoss carrior was of the same size…….a sad day for those 72 ties
