[@Zyx] What cursory research I've done on the Replicators so far makes me believe we'll have to avoid any kind of technology that totally outclasses them, to avoid trivializing the threat.

>True, which is another reason why I'm sticking to the Bowship. Sure stasers can be calibrated to do extreme damage, but the Endeavor's crew isn't likely to go that far, assuming their ship has that capability. They'll probably be more interested in taking a break from the literal hell they just left, and maybe scouting out the Star Wars universe as a potential place for Gallifrey to escape to. But that would be an ulterior motive at best and one that might just not be possible to accomplish considering the planet is about to be erased by the Doctor soon.

>As for other ships, it's hard to stay in that sweet spot where it's not a curbstomp on either side, as a lot of the sci-fi universes I know about are incredibly broken. Even the one's that stray more to the hard and possible side of hypothetical technology. Actually it seems that the harder the science, the more devastating the warfare. Well, unless you go into the pure insanity of soft sci-fi settings.
