Well leaving aside the poor modeling work, it isn't a stretch for a star destroyer sized ship to almost destroy a planet if you go by ICS like calcs and add a superlaser to do the actual job. I mean even using a conservative 1e25W for the total reactor output (I say conservative as I don't think an ...

The intention was there (look at concept art were they used the death star underwater, they had concept for new destroyers as well) someone didn't execute it. I might add because they didn't have enough time or focus on this aspect. They were a lot more interested in not making a total mess of a mov...

It’s exactly the same as an ISD I, because that’s what it is. You can’t override the movie visuals via other media. The VD can go fuck itself. There's a moment where you can see the Resurgent star destroyer right next to them and it doesn't look that much larger compared to ISDs, like it would in t...

It is pretty much the same shape so yes, the factor is 1.5 in every dimension and you get a ship with 3.375 times the volume. The ventral cannon and missing hangar bay will increase it some % over that but not by much, just approximate to 3.4 times. Sw-vs-st had different values for ISD volume over ...

That reminds me, Bilateralrope. Shouldn't there be an ISD out there with a planet cracking laser cannon on it? Most of the Sith fleet was on Exegol, but one ship was sent to that one planet to blow it up. One is on the loose. Beyond which the First Order's ships are still out there, only the Finali...

You are probably talking in reference to this image? URL=https://s49.photobucket.com/user/CanisD/media/Shipyard/Drawings/SW/Eclipse.png.html I saw it years ago on wolfsshipyard' site, also tells the same basically on image description: http://www.wolfsshipyard.com/starwars_Imp.htm But as other peopl...

Although I'm not even sure flash learning is still canon, I thought it was only used for clones. Otherwise, why isn't everyone in Star Wars a walking encyclopedia? http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Flash_training Well... don't you agree Finn is a wonderful tech/locations walking encyclopedia of the Fi...

The Supremacy has to have awful fighting power for a ship that is 60 km wide. It is ~20 times the size of the Executor, and has maybe 3 times as much ability to take hits, from the Raddus, which, given how shitty the Executor's class was at that, is disheartening. Where are you getting these figure...

I happened to realize a little thing that may explain why hyperspace ramming isn't a thing: Finn and co had to get on the Supremacy and drop a small section of the shields, ok, then is it ever implied they were really turned on after and it wasn't just a trick on the operator display? I ask because ...

As for Legends, I'm pretty sure the Eclipse and similar were said to crack planet cores (whatever the heck that means) or continents... in other terms they would resemble what the Death Star did to Jedha or Scarif, if not more. What was the firepower of the Conqueror -class Star Destroyer's superla...

I mean it's basic logic: somehow a 100 km ball can oneshot a 10000 km planet, what's the reason a 1 km starship can't do the same to a 100 km rock? Neither factor scales linearly. Power scales by volume of reactor, so the cube of size assuming same shape and relative volume taken up, while gravitat...

Well, at one point authors will finally understand what the Death Star meant in terms of firepower, regardless of their infamous lack of sense of scale, in regard to any other vessel. I mean it's basic logic: somehow a 100 km ball can oneshot a 10000 km planet, what's the reason a 1 km starship can'...

The Mega is decisively a good step for the new trilogy capital ships design, beside the name, I find it as good as the resurgent class in evolutionary yet not over the top evolution over Imperial-era ships. Totally opposite reaction on the dreadnought: it looks just too different from common concept...

Canon evidence also tells us that Han Solo has a laser brain . How would that work? Does his brain act like a laser? It sure acted like that when he avoided the collision or Starkiller base coming in hyperspace... light speed reflexes! :D Being more serious, I always thougth the cable lying below t...

Funny you should mention that: ... That's awesome, didn't notice at all they made another HISHE of the Force Awakens, a republic Death Star... First Order is done if they fixed the exhaust port, no wait, actually they don't have pilots lucky enough to even hit it! :wink: I don't think Starkiller ba...

I know they were just rumors but starkiller base was supposed to be some kind of fortress, not a superweapon, before it turned into just that. We probably missed a space battle (including that rumored republic superweapon ship) and got Death Star 3 instead so hopefully episode 8 makes up for that wi...

Decisively a worthy summer Blockbuster. To be honest there are some flaws, prevalentely on the acting (especially the younger guys) and some missteps in the pacing (also it really felt short?) but... nothing really made me cringe. The too much CGI syndrome is almost bearable here due to the quality ...
