You make some very valid points here, but I think you do underestimate the Federation a wee bit. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying Kirk and crew would fair better than you expect.
For starters, the Enterprise crew
are accustomed to ship parts attacking them. Have you ever seen what happens to the ship after their shields take 3 hits? Instrument panels falling open, sparks everywhere, crap falling from the ceiling. Let's not forget all the smoke that fills the bridge--it's a wonder they haven't all died of lung cancer or suffocation from all the flotsam and jetsom floating around on the bridge. Plus, they've faced off against Q and won! several times! Everyone knows Q has the power of Vader and the Emporer squared, plus he has the maturity of a 3 year old on crack... And trust me, there's nothing more chaotic than a 3 year old on crack, let alone a 3 year old on crack wielding supreme power!
Also, let's not forget that the ever powerful Empire couldn't find a decent contractor to build the Deathstar... I mean really, who makes a ventilation shaft that goes straight to the core? How hard would it have been to put a s-bend in that thing? Heck, even my sink has a hair-trap. Then my mom got scared, and said, "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air." I whistled for a cab and when it came near The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare, but I thought, "Nah, forget it. Yo, holmes to Bel-Air!" I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cabbie, "Yo holmes smell ya later!" Looked at my kingdom I was finally there, to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air.
