[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 5053433, member: 326"] Hey all! :) I think an easy way to solve our problems would be to determine what an individual of one civilisation can do. For instance, how powerful is a single character of the Star Wars Universe contrasted with that civilisations ability to destroy a whole planet (vis-a-vis the Death Star). Its seemingly quite a jump. Also I don't think you can simply correlate the difference linearly and apply that up or down the Kardashev Scale. If we take the best personal armour and the best handheld weapons of each civilisation, contrast that with the best tanks and ultimately their best weapons altogether. I'll just throw out the following. ...50 Megaton 'Tsar Bomba' (current most powerful created) 2.1E17 ...FOAB (44 Tons) 1.8E11 ...Hellfire Rocket 5E8 ...tank 5E7 ...grenade 5.2E5 Death Star maybe 4.2E34 (?) If the Star Wars universe has a potential doubling (or more specifically a squaring) of the current world weaponry, then potentially... Heavy Weapons (Heavy Turbolaser on a Star Destroyer?) = high Gigaton range Proton Torpedo (Star Wars) = megaton range Tanks (Star Wars) = could deliver in the kiloton range Grenades (Star Wars Thermal Detonator) = could deliver in the 1 ton of tnt range The problem with Grenades dealing damage equal to 1 ton of TNT is that the blast radius is going to be ridiculous - no wonder everyone in Jabba's palace was scared of Bousch threatening to detonate one.
