Does a fighter engaging a battleship and other fighters at close range get to fire its weapons 60 times per combat round?

Pulse laser?

You could give 3-CPO your light sabre, and fly beneath a battleship, opening it up like a can opener, and thereby could be counted as sixty attacks.

Speaking of Fighters and Starships, how good would an X-wing fighter do against the Starship Enterprise? Who would win that dogfight?

Enterprise every day of the week. The technology basis gives federation ships a huge advantage.
Though the argument is pure speculation until you can put yields and speeds to the two systems and compare apples to apples. And, more importantly, which Enterprise are we talking about?

Using a couple other RPGs' specs:
An X-wing flies at maximum 1050km/hr while the TOS Enterprise uses 'full speed' (0.25 c) which is 74, 984km/hr or 71 times faster. As seen in the shows, turning is not a problem for either vessel. The original Enterprise would have a hard time with swarms as that universe deals ship to ship while the future classes have collimated phaser arrays allowing multiple targeting of small craft. X-wing laser cannons are very short ranged (about 2-3 Km) compared to any phaser which has a max range of 50,000Km.
Next, plug those numbers into Traveller ships and combat. Yeeeeah, three different games.

Depends on who's flying the X-Wing.
You wouldn't think that one could take down the Death Star.

What about Mirror Universe Imperial architects? Would Evil Kirk have Evil Scotty close it just in time? Or would Bearded Spock reverse the polarity and send the Proton Torpedo back at the X-Wing?

Evidently Klingon techs are prone to un shielded exhaust ports...but since it shut that Shakespeare spouting pain in the butt up....I'll let it slide.
Problem is SHIELDS!!!!!!
it would take a snub fighter a long long time to hammer those things down....unless a jedi sneaks aboard in an unguarded cargo ship......

You know the Mirror Universe's Imperial Starships just aren't as impressive as those of the Galactic Empire.High Orbit Drifter said:
Here is the ISS Enterprise
And this is what the Galactic Empire from Star Wars uses.
Remember this scene, which looks better chasing this little starship, the Star Destroyer or the ISS Enterprise? The Mirror Universe version of "Star Wars" is a bit of a let down by comparison, don't you think?
