>Listen up you fucking morons, this is NOT accurate.
>1) The amount of thrust the hammerhead would need to push a ship with that kind of mass in that amount of time (10 seconds) is inconceivable. Picture a tiny speedboat pushing the Titanic completely off course into an iceberg in 10 seconds-- that's right, you can't because that doesn't make any fucking sense.
>2) The starship destroyer is not made out of the same material as the hammerhead's front battering ram. It's most likely a material that is much weaker, because that would be expensive as fuck to coat an entire ship in essentially diamonds. Therefore, the hammerhead would pierce through the star destroyer long before it would be able to push it into another ship

This part was sweet. I don't know why you fuckers are so autistic about it. I don't believe that Schwarzenegger can jump through the air while accurately shooting two machine guns in Commando, but I don't shitpost about it because I can enjoy a movie.

>>82325078
Yes. Its the same reason Superman cannot actually lift buildings no matter how strong he is.

This is kinda cool, but what makes it fucking stupid is why didn't they do this in any other movie?

>>82325078
I don't think its a huge "physics plothole" because the only resistant force to the ship's thrust is the larger ship's inertia in zero-G (which is purely a function of mass.)

However, assuming all building materials to be roughly equal, if engine thrust was enough to collapse ship material, then I think it would follow that the Star Destroyer's own engines would tear the ship apart when activated.
However, the impaction of the smaller ship's nose makes sense because that's ship's nose was applying force at a point (like a knife or a needle) until it dug in a little.

Also not a physics person, but that's what I see.

With Rebel super ships like that, how did the Empire survive for so long?

>>82325212
>surely the star destroyers have their own attitude thrusters
It was disabled just before the Hammerhead hit it.

>>82328737
Also, consider the fact that non-jedi can use the force... Not necessarily control, but use.

The part that is really dumb is the idea that the one destroyer would cut right through the other under a set of physics that allowed the hammerhead to push it without damaging it or the hammerhead. I bet it would really result in one destroyer bouncing off the other and going in opposite directions. Its almost as stupid as Star Lord and gamorra surviving outer space without suits or helmets. DAMMIT...the destroyers would bounce off each other with no damages!!!! No Damages !!!!

>>82328333
he was a big guy

Do people not understand the Hammerhead was not traveling at full speed when it hit the SD?

>>82328825
this, assuming the ships are all made of the same comic-book indestructible material as the Hammerhead.

Honestly I might, MIGHT be able to accept the Hammerhead ramming into a Star Destroyer and not getting pancaked if it was literally solid with no voids. But if it's a spacecraft with a cabin it's dumb, that's a structural weakness for something like ramming. Rams need to be solid.

>>82329313
>>82328542

first of all it's in orbit, not zero g, and secondly inertia doesn't care about gravity

they're drawing the line at ship collisions? but space magic is just part of the setting

all you have to do is slow this interaction down by a factor of 5 or so and it starts making a lot more sense, the large ship would need light sections and sturdy sections, and this basic plan would be public knowledge

still its weird that anyone would build a capital ship like this and not have a plan for this sort of thing

>>82331540
Did you not pay attention literally 30 seconds before?

Since the armor on the ships was too strong to pierce, the rebels simply EMP'd the whole destroyer to leave it floating dead in the figurative water. Then, before the imperials had time to respond and potentially get moving again, they rammed it with the Hammerhead, breaking the Destroyer on another Destroyer that was still functional, then ramming both into the shield generator.

>>82329237

>>82327780
It's okay I didn't need my sides this morning anyway

>>82325018
Someone calculated that to move a ship of that size you would have to have three times the thrust of a space shuttle so it's not too far off

>>82333298
that was me

the real problem is that the pressure the hammerhead would have to exert on the star destroyer would make the hull tear apart like tin foil. forget "durasteel" or whatever it's made of, we're talking about the pressures that diamonds are formed at. the hammerhead would just punch through the star destroyer and out the other side.

This, it's the low friction that is the real difference here. Tugboats work on the same principle of applying a force over time. In this case, though, there isn't all this water to dampen and absorb all the energy.

>>82328542

While this is a great point, are you telling me a larger ship wouldn't have more powerful thrusters that could counteract that tiny ship?

While weight wouldn't be the issue, they'd be able to counter it very quickly, this happening relies on the panic of an organisation known for not going into a blind fucking panic.

>>82327780

how will jannies ever recover?

>>82325111
Are you being serious? The star destroyer has no sideways momentum so will always move as a force is being applied due to no resistance.

The design of a SD is total shit

it has its large broadside guns for capital ship engagements (which are rarely used because they are slow as fuck and cant hit shit), but the majority of its weaponry is on the top, with very small (CIWS type) turrets on the side. too small to do any damage to anything larger than a starfigher.

The bottom is relatively unguarded seeing as this is where the hangars is and where TIEs are launched.

yea... im gonna need to see the actual tweets, especially the Gary Whitta one.

Even if tug boats could produce enough force to move a container ship (by my calculations impossible), they'd just tear off whatever mounting point you attached them to and probably take half the ship with them.

Its the same principle as why you have to magnetically levitate a car to change a tire, if you tried to jack it up, you'd bend the car in half.

>>82335751

It would imply something about tactics. British sea power was the result of having more ships of the line than other powers. Not because of numerical advantage in combat itself but purely because they were prepared to use them as they had more in reserve.

Don't forget the Executor losing it's bridge in ROTJ. You're telling me a ship with a crew of 250,000 doesn't have a back-up bridge at the ready in case the worst could happen, namely a fucking A-Wing crashing into your massive windowed bridge?

Tug boats move container ships all the time. Before bow/stern thrusters became common, most ships used tugs to pull them off the berth.

But a tug boat, even a powerful one, can't push it much faster than 0.5 knots sideways, and that's without wind or current, in which case you need more tugs.

>brilliant
It's exactly the kind of shit the rebels should be shown doing in Star Wars. Once again the contrarian dipshits latch onto an actually-great aspect of the movie because they're too stupid to appreciate anything.

ANH opens with the famous shot of the small rebel cruiser being pursued by the cartoonishly huge imperial destroyer or whatever. It's a great visual metaphor. Rogue One took the concept and used a similar visual metaphor to show how the rebels can manage to fight an overwhelmingly superior force. A small ship literally using the empire's own size against it to destroy the shield was fucking great screenwriting.

ITT: people who don't understand the difference between speed and acceleration. I bet most of you dont realise that to slow down in space you actually have to turn your ship around and thrust in the opposite direction.

Or just have thrusters on the front you dip.

>what are physics

Irrelevant. tbphwyf.

It's a cinematic universe with casual faster than light travel.

The Death Star is a weapon the size of a moon that parks directly next to a planet and blows the planet up, somehow without getting pulverized by all the planet shrapnel flying towards it as the closest thing with mass and a gravitational pull.

>>82325156
exactly. and it's shit.

Why would they cut through each other? They would just bump off each other. There's nothing holding the bottom ship in place.

>>82325018
Nice smokestacks on the top of the ships too

Didn't know smoke worked that way in the vaccuum of space

>>82325018
They had to find a way to re-purpose KOTOR ship designs

How is it ridiculously impractical? Basically every manned spaceship we've send into space had thrusters all of the place. You think it's MORE practical to only put thrusters on the back and sides (can't turn without side thrusters), put nothing on the bow, then use a fuckton of energy making using thrusters to pull off a 180 turn. Just to decrease speed?

You put thrusters on the front dingus. Don't be thick.

>>82336839
So if a space ship is moving forward through space without thrusters on the bow but with thrusters on both sides pointing perfectly perpendicular from the direction of travel, and you applied equal thrust at the same time on both sides, would that decrease or increase the speed that the ship is moving through space?

>>82336839
Every manned spaceship we have sent in to space has one main thruster used for acceleration and lots of small thrusters for rotation controll. I dont know where you got the idea that it takes a lot of energy to spin in space, there is no resistance to spinning if you are not accelerating. The manned moon missions accelerated to an eliptical orbit that intersected with the moons orbit, then once past the moon the ship was turned around and decelerated in to a circular moon orbit. Having large thrusters on all faces of a ship is a logistical nightmare. It would increase weight exponentially. More weight = more fuel to reach the required delta v.

You best be trolling lad

>>82336941
No but depending on the thrust it would crush the ship or send you in to a spin if the directions of the thrusters aren't exactly opposite

Okay first off, that picture is dope. Came with the official strategy guide as a poster and I hung it on my wall for years.
Second of all, the scene was fucking awesome, no question. They topped the SD into the SSD from Jedi.

Keep sucking mousecock, guys. Disney recycle the KOTOR-era (which includes the KOTOR comics and Tales of the Jedi) for everything, the hammerheads were just part of that, like Kylo Ren's helmet looking vaguely like Revan for hype value and nothing else.

I ALREADY DID THE MATH IN A THREAD LIKE THIS AGES AGO YOU FUCKING NIGGERS, HOW ARE THESE THREADS STILL BEING MADE

>>82340293
My point is the hammerhead in rogue one is a reference to the hammerheads the rebels get in the cartoon. The hammerheads in the cartoon we're a reference to the hammerheads from Kotor.

The other star destoryer had his thruster on tho. So there was actually a reaction keeping it in place which is was cause thing to break when they smash

>>82331419
Vader was still inside the Profundity's atmosphere shield, so there was still some air moving around to flutter his cape.

>>82325018
Couldn't the other ship just jump into hyperspace to escape the collision then come back afterwards?

>>82342417
>backpedaling this much

Microgravity it's insignificant. For all intent and purpose, things in orbit are not affected by gravitational acceleration

>>82342531
not the guy you where talking to. Being in orbit =/= zero G.

>>82325147
>"...Trump"

>>82325078

The ship isn't super strong, it's just it has a long moment arm so it can make the star destroyer spin, effectively making him drop because of the change in center of mass

It's the same reason picking a heavy object can break your spine but picking it correctly won't

>>82342531
>>82342573

It's called free fall.

"An object in the technical sense of the term "free fall" may not necessarily be falling down in the usual sense of the term. An object moving upwards would not normally be considered to be falling, but if it is subject to the force of gravity only, it is said to be in free fall. The moon is thus in free fall."

>>82325018
Holy shit that is so fucking stupid. Why is one of the Star Destroyers made out of paper suddenly?

>>82342573
>>82342738

Are you guys seriously so fucking dense?
g is the gravitational acceleration. When you're in orbit that's zero, as in, you're not accelerating toward the object whose gravity is acting upon you.

>>82325018
How do you inhale then breath in more you collosal fuckup?

>>82342933

Yes, so free fall.

Read what I wrote.
