I totally agree, Firefox, as I said in my first post in this thread. I love neo-BSG, and like the character Commander Adama. But this has got to stop. Adama, I'm only going to warn you once more. You need to stop. Are you trying to get banned, after waiting so long to get to post? After people welc...

No, we see footage inspired by WWII films. Mustangs and 109s != X-Wings and TIEs Yes, and they inspired some pretty lame shite maneuverabilty dog fights. Just my point. The STS requires about six minutes to reach space, and even longer to achieve orbit. The X-Wing and the Royal Starship from TPM ac...

What he modeled them off is fucking irrelevant. What we see on the fucking screen *is* relevant. Oh, wait I forgot. You're too fucking stupid to see any evidence that contradicts your bullshit. Goodness me you do have poo in your head. What we see on the screens IS reworked ww2 footage, and whats s...

Why did I just know that Nit's post would be in this thread when I saw he posted in the HOS? I don't know. So full of shit, it burns.... Now the slow climb the Saturn V makes is equal to being in geosync in less than a minute? Just how long do you think it takes a rocket to leave the Earth's atmos?...

Appealing to the author's intent is not a valid form of argument on this site So its a valid argument everywhere except on this site? :lol: Great way to cover up all of the Lucas fuckups. The Millenium Falcon reaching space from Tatooine in less than a minute. The Rebel fighters rounding Yavin in j...

ok, so when I see a tie fighter with a pilot inside who is fighting for his very life, pulling the same gs as a ww2 spitfire, when apparently he can do so much more because a book said so, i'm supposed to ignore what my eyes are showing me? FFS people, we all know Lucas made the ties as we saw them ...

You opinion in this matter is irrelevant. Under George Lucas' own canon policy, the ICS books *ARE* canon. If you think they're shit then that's just too fucking bad. Further, I seem to recall that most of those large numbers are based upon analysis of scenes from the movies, so if you don't like h...

Some very capable people have run the math. Have you?

If I had some reliable figures from the movie, then yes, I could run through the "complicated" calcs no probs.

Vipers need launch tubes to leave their carrier (Battlestar). Ties do not. Vader and his pilots departed from the Tie hangars located on the Equatorial Trench and reached the exhaust port trench in the upper hemisphere in a matter of seconds. Vader got his pilots to the ships, and they were hitting...

1) Relative velocity. Yes and that works both ways. Imagine your on the motorway traveling north and the traffic on the opposite lane is traveling south. You would pass each other very quickly. But even when the ties were flying towards the SSD and the SSD was either moving towards them or stationa...

Aly is a bloke? Sorry for the earlier post then.

To fgalkin (what does that mean?), I won't spoil anything dont worry. I'm not that cruel.

Nice to see that you don't know shit about canonicity, either

Films are fact. Don't like it? Then go write a book and add some extra zeros to the already wild numbers floating out there.

Good post Hardy. Tactical display on Endor shows a fleet of Star Destroyers coming to a halt in less than three seconds. Others have used the DS2 as a reference and computed 3000 g accelerations from that. Not sure if a tactical display can be trusted. We have now idea of the scale of these displays...

TIE can pull thousands of Gs ref: The Incredible Cross Section books. Ehich are valid evidence whether you;ve seen them or not. Huh. Shite from a book is worthless in my opinion. The author just puts down a large number and then wows himself into a frenzy, big deal. Do you know what 1000 gs would l...

That won't hold it for long. Of that you can be certain Oh I hope so, otherwise the episode will be very boring. The daleks can experience defeats, but are never totally defeated, except in the second doctor episode "Evil of the Daleks" and even then, they're not defeated per se, they jus...

How the fuck do you expect to debate something if you've never actually seen it, Adama? Why on earth would I watch such a shite show? Their ship is actually called Rommie? They must be the laughing stock of the galaxy. I've seen the ship and how poor the effects are. I can make a good judgement abo...

seeing the Dalek all chained up was hilarious.

Does anyone know what happed to the Daleks? How were they defeated?

Rommie's engines?

Who the hell is Rommie?

Yes, and I see fast manoeuvrable craft. What do you see?

I see the less maneuverable craft i'm trying to tell you about.

Go look at the movies. When the tie fighters and X-wings are fighting around a SSD they dont seem to pass the ship in a micro second like you seem to be suggesting. If the ties and X-wings were traveling at these phenomenal speeds you are implying then the ties/X-wings would pass the SSD in no time ...

Two words moron: PROVE IT.

Come now, there is no need for name calling buddy.

Proof? Go watch Star wars: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. There are lots of tie fighter scenes that you can see. There is your proof.

Ties are not slow.
Adama, please don't be this way. The Viper is inferior. Accept it.

Ra buddy, I accept that ties are faster, my earlier statement was rather inaccurate in that I was talking about maneuverability and not top speed. I apologise if that was a bit misleading

Adama put some proof on the table and people will believe you a bit better I understand what your saying Gunhead. My proof is simply from what I have seen. A viper can rotate 180 deg on its axis and backup on its previous path in seconds. When has anyone seen a tie do that in the movies? All I have...

Denying Cannatical Data because "You don't like it" is an intolerable state of Idiocy that proves your mental Instability and under the Order of the Imperial Terran Ministry of Health you shall undergo corrective Nerve.

ZOR what?

What is "corrective nerve"?

Dr Who is a children's show

My point exactly.
