While we're playing "what-if", I think that the Enterprise vs one of 
Darth Vader's Death Stars would be an interesting little conflict.  The
Death Star seems to have a problem in that it takes a considerable amount
of time to launch a shot.  But if it got a shot off, the Enterprise would
be history in fairly short order.  Like Galactica's fighters, I can't
imagine that Kirk would be at all impressed by those TIE fighters. Now,
how good is the Enterprise's targetting computer.  Could it hit that
little 3 meter exhaust port with a photon torpedo?
