If I recall my episodes correctly, there were several times the Big E fired while going at x-warp speed. Even if not, the Gallactica is not shielded from things like photons and phasers, in fact, if I recall my Battlestar episodes right, they weren't even shielded at all. Now, with the 'big gun' of the battlestar out of the way, the Big E could merely tractor in the little shit ships and blow them to pieces at their leisure. On the same lines, what would a "Enterprise vs. the Death Star, fully complimented, of course and a couple of those big battle stations that they had. could be interesting. (Of course, if the good guys started getting in trouble, it would be no prob to merely warp out, THEY have to use hyperspace.....) "Die young Skywalker" "Skywalker?
