Feel free to add your comments and thoughts here. This is just a random question I thought up on the spot.

I would say the Roms believe in quality over quantity whereas the Klinks believe that sufficiently large quantities have a quality all it's own.   ;)

On the whole I would have to agree in basis that Rom tech did finally overshadow Klingon...But then, only to an extent. They're Warbirds were markedly slower than Klingon or Fed ships. likely due to their size. They are an enormous vessel. Their main drive/power source is something more advanced than anything even the Federation fields, but, also again, it obviously had its sorting out flaws as well...such as shattering the temporal scape of the universe...

Romulan vessels are not seen being detected through their cloaks as often or without great pains to do so, as opposed to Klingon vessels, but, once again...Romulan cloaks will not allow for transporter operation and we had proof ias early as ST:IV that Klingon cloaks DID allow for transports while cloaked. Also on the Reunification Episodes [TNG] and in the 2nd season old Klingons ep in DS9.

While their tech itself is more advanced, I don't think they are very far ahead of the field in how they implement their equipment.

I think the tech levels are plot controlled and entirely subjective. So I voted for the Klingons :D

That's the cheapo answer though.  It goes without saying.  I was disappointed at the lack of technological advancement by the Klingons in TNG.  So I voted for the Romulans.

true. Then i'd say due to the much hated section 31 statement about the klingons, the roms

What did 31 say about the Klinks?

And nothing from Larry? Or K-Fo?

Are you referring to the statement that said the Klingons will not be a factor in the quadrant for more than a decade?

That leaves two powers to vie for control of the Alpha Quadrant, The Federation, and the Romulans.

I think its something of a wash, the Romulans are ahead in some places, the Klingons in others.

As to which I'd believe would win a war by TNG? Well, this was answered in TNG's finale episode and hinted at in VOY's finale... The Romulan Empire had fallen. I like this idea.

Yeah, just like in our own history: the Barbarian Hordes conquered Rome. Rome was still more advanced by far, it had just rotted from within and let its numbers fall...
