In addition, shields have reduced the need for fighter/bomber type ships as warships carry enough firepower to handle just about any type of situation in naval combat. Fighters do not carry enough weaponry to penetrate star ship shielding. Score 2-0 for ST.
Star Wars gives us the death star, which has enough power to blow up a planet. Score 2-1 ST.
Star Trek relies on time travel to tell stories. Score 1 - 1, Tied.
Star Wars has the force. Score 3 - 1 SW.
Star Trek uses Q as a deus exmachina tour deforce. Score 3 to negative 10. SW.
Add everything up and Star Wars wins by a land slide.
However, I think both Star Wars fans and Trekkies/Trekkers can agree, Cylons are hot as hell.

Star Trek - sinks and bathtubs in everyone's quarters. No Toiler
Star Wars, look at the size of the toilet that Darth vader was using, and it swivels too.
