Entropy Unlimited's answer to the Universe, The Entropy-Class can manipulate the very fabric of space within a 9.7 LY radius. It's weapons, armor, and computing systems all approach the theoretical maximum.

so.... this ship is 100000 times longer than the diameter of the Earth? Are you trying to compensate for something?

*disintegrate, not didintegrate...Another method would involve using 'simple' (traditional sci-fi) teleportation to instantaneously send a Nasty Thing into the Entropy from somewhere outside the radius of its field. I chose to ignore the time-travel possibilities, since presumably if that works, Entropy has already rewritten the entire history of the universe while we've been discussing it...

I would think that if both ships had equally-matched control fields, we would essentially have an Old Western quick-draw situation. If I can bring my field to bear before you can, I can just didintegrate your field generator and let gravity do the rest. But you might do it to me first...everything hinges on whose field can reach further and who can use it faster.

Ah-ha! So the control field would bend space-time into a negative curvature, which would be cancelled out by the positive energy from the ship's own gravity. Incidentially, bending space-time in this way would allow time travel.

One could also project a control field of equal strength to reverse the actions of this one. Then both ships are exposed to fire from their counterpart.

On the assumption that we're using equally advanced technology to fight this thing, my solution would be to travel to another universe, locate or create the heaviest black hole available (if necessary, one might for instance collapse the trillion stars of Andromeda into a singularity), then transfer said black hole into this universe, placing it inside the control-field mechanism itself.

IF you can deactivate the control field, the Entropy has no chance of survival. Otherwise, it is unstoppable (if I've understood the control field correctly, it could collapse you into a singularity, disperse your atoms across the universe, or rearrange your subatomic particles to turn you into, say, a vase of flowers)

@Shuddarun, killing this thing is (tactically speaking, at least) pretty simple, though technologically challenge. You have exactly one option - disable the control field before it turns you into...well, whatever it wants ("Oh no, not again!").

Scifi is great, but "Poof! My enemies are dead now! My dog magically turns purple in victory!" is not fun.

Also, how does this generate/use/manage the control field?
