I’ll have to confess to not knowing much about the Wraith Dart from Stargate, so I don’t want to under estimate it’s powers – So I’ll leave this match to those who know more than I.
Who wins this match?

3 words…..Pew Pew Pew!
@Space marine – love the sound effects, and the emoticons!
Aside from having advanced weapons that can easily match, if not surpass, your basic TIE, the Wraith Dart has a dematerialyzing ray that is designed to abduct humanoids and store them in an energy form until the vehicle is able to re-materialyze its cargo.
This means that a dart can fly over a tie and simply remove the pilot…to be later eaten by the Wraith.
However, tha ship is indeed quite fragile. Gunpowder ballistics (albeit, high caliber) have been able to score kills on these guys. The ship’s main defense is its EXTREME maneuverability, often leaving a dogfight unscathed because the oponent could never get a fix, but this is something that the TIE can easily match.
Unless the Dart gets to strike with its dematerialyzing ray before the TIE spots it, I think the notorious SW fighter will be the victor.
@Admin, Thank you. I like those emoticons.
TY ADMIN!
Well, what i was thinking was that one Dart versus one TIE would definately be a victory for the TIE. But if the Wraith had numbers on their side…darts ftw.
the TIE has it, had to do a few minuts reasearch first but it seems that the Wraith loses in open combat, though a stealth attack might not be out of the question. The Wraith just doesn’t seem to have the ability to take punishment where as the TIE can. For me, that was the deciding factor in the battle but it would be close, very close and if the TIE pilot got hit by the demat beam then its all over.
depends what kind of tie fighter
tie fighter would lose
tie defender would win
Wraith darts can beam DOWN as well…a pair of darts could replace the Emperial pilot with a Wraith pilot and either sabotage the TIE or take it over.
what about a TIE interceptor?
I think that if it was other than the base TIE model, it would have been stated. The fight should continue to be considered the basic TIE.
Still, the TIE should get the win, like said before, unless the Dart manages to shoot its Decomp. Beam first.
Well how far away from each other do they start off from, I think it’s unfair for the wraith to start Over the top of it.
Start both infront of each other 500 Metres.
Dart is faster…if the Wraith pilot is better than the TIE pilot, i think they can win. But If the TIE makes a lock…its weapons are too powerful for the dart to sustain.
it also depends on the tactics if you watch certain stargate episodes many waith run kamakaze runs or if it get shot it trys to come at the tie and even if the tie dodges it the waith pilot might beam himself into the cockpit
obviously the TF has no life support and has very limited range.
winner Dart
I will go with wraith dart because of their beaming technology and it’s faster. because of it’s speed I think it could easily out maneuver a TIE fighter. Another thing the beaming technology can beam is also weapons so it is my hypothesis that a wraith can beam the weapons on the TIE fighter into their “cargo bay” and then shoot the TIE fighter
sorry if i don’t make sense… any why I remember a time when a wraith hive was powered by a ZPM so why couldn’t a dart also be powered by a ZPM increasing every thing many times over so dart could easily take the punishment from TIE fighter and give more punishment. Not to mention a dart is organic so if it takes damage all the dart would have to do is leave the fight grow back along with more growth making it stronger then return to the fight.
and If I recall correctly the machine guns on Atlantis were having a little difficulty destroying the darts the reason is probably there was many darts and twelve hive ships overhead
since it hasn’t been stated I’m guessing taht this is just after the “artificial Duplicating” of the wraith so they will have numbers on their side
hello, am I the only person interested in this topic at the current moment?
it would seem so, so why dont you wait for a reply or post on different topic.
I was starting to think every one was thinking “he’s strange let’s not talk to him” attitude permeated the web… any way if you put a fully charged ZPM inside of a dart my hypothisis is that if it kamikazeed into the death star there would be hardly any thing left of the death star
Just checked the stargate wiki and apparently a wraith dart can be taken out
by M4 fire. Now I have no idea how much energy is in a bullet fired from a M4
or how strong a TIE fighters laser cannon is. But a article on stardestroyer.net
gives the laser cannon a very conservative measurment of 60gigajoules
If the wraith dart can be damaged by a modern machine gun, then a Tie Fighter’s blasters woyuld obliterate it with even a glancing blow.
if the glancing blow was not in a critical location then the dart will regrow the damage and making the dart even stronger
Its also stated on the wiki that Darts lack regenarative armour. So a glancing
hit is at least gonna cripple the thing. Remember that laser cannons are rapid
fire
according to trek wars on yahoo a tie fighter can shoot 40 mega watts of power per shot
every thing that the wraith have can grow back if damaged though it can not regenerate if it is destroyed
“They lack any shielding or regenerative armor like their larger ships”
This is directly from the stargate wiki. Here si the link.
stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Dart
Can I have a link to that group please?
ok you made your point I will give up that the darts have regenerative powers
it doesn’t say you can’t charge a dart with a ZPM
you tube not yahoo
Site rules state standard issue unless otherwise specified
can I also have the link to star wars and star gate and why are the ones in purple if I’m not mistaken purple and restricted?
here is the link for the article on SD.net
www.stardestroyer.net/Empire/Tech/Beam/Beam2.ht
Whats this about purple now?
sorry it was orange and I was talking about on fact pile wikipedia and it says “Editing this page is restricted. Please JOIN THIS WIKI AND CONTACT AN ORGANIZER FOR MORE INFORMATION.” it says that on all items that are in orange which regrettibly is most of the topics in the univese section
any one going to answer because I waited about a week and no one is continuing this thread
Sorry to say it, but it appears that you are the only one who cares about this thread. Sorry!
I wonder why I am the only person who “cares” for this thread?
“according to trek wars on yahoo a tie fighter can shoot 40 mega watts of power per shot”
Their opinion is not official canon, the ICS however is; which places the output of Starfighter laser cannons at 4.2 terajoules (one kiloton) per bolt.
The muzzle energy of a single M4 carbine round ( 5.56x45mm NATO) equals 1645 joules of energy, within a minute of constant firing (without reloads) said carbine could unleash around 1,151,500 joules of kinetic energy in total.
In comparison a single bolt of a TIE fighter laser cannon would unleash about 4.2E12 joules of explosive city vaporizing energy; therefore an M4 carbine would have to fire continuously for six and a half straight years to even generate the cumulative total of kinetic energy that a single TIE laser cannon bolt can release in milliseconds.
Even a clipping shot will be enough to outright vaporize the Wraith Dart, no question.
ok so I am wrong that a TIE fighter can shoot 40 mega watts. As a matter of intrest L-W can a Hive ship survive a TIE fighter blast?
“ok so I am wrong that a TIE fighter can shoot 40 mega watts. As a matter of intrest L-W can a Hive ship survive a TIE fighter blast?”
How are you even breathing right now?
“how are you even breathing right now” … What are you talking about. Since when was the possibility of me breathing entered this thread. Yes L-W I am Biological life form under the genus of Homo and the species Sapiens so yes I am I am breathing right now
One “I am” not two
““how are you even breathing right now” … What are you talking about. Since when was the possibility of me breathing entered this thread. Yes L-W I am Biological life form under the genus of Homo and the species Sapiens so yes I am I am breathing right now”
I assumed you suffered some form of brain damage, as indicated by your sheer stupidity. My assumption, in retrospect, was correct.
*attempts to grave dig* So.. any opinions on this one?
Honestly….. I’d say the two sides are about even.
–
Thing about the Dart though, is one of their favorite tactics is to use their speed and agility to pull a kamikaze…. But with the numbers being even, all that would get it is a MAD.
