Why?

read a book, nigga

>>87568387
besause it's entertaining

this was very silly desu.
for the sake of it, the ship basically hit a small moon and had enough force to move it

Why didn't the rebels use it to push the death star away from their moon base?

>>87568458
>comparing a star destroyer to a small moon
>forgetting that the ship was out of power and floating helplessly in zero-g

>>87568472

or to cut through that hole thing?

>>87568501
>out of power
ah yes and other large pieces of mass such as moons are full of power.
>floating helplessly in zero-g
like a small moon? come on now, this scene was silly

Tiny ship pushes star destroyer with enough force to cut through another star destroyer yet tiny ship itself doesn't cut through star destroyer it is pushing.

mass x momentum

>>87568898
yes but what if the tensile stress of the hull was less than the force done by the tiny ship?

>>87568898
>mass x momentum
>mass x mass x velocity
what did you mean by this?

because it looks cool!!!!!!
*throws bucket of popcorn in face*

If we are to assume the rebel ship was reinforced with structural integrity that which could press against a destroyer and move it, are we to assume the structural integrity of the destroyer's point of contact with the rebel ship is so reinforced that it would withstand the several-thousand tonnes of force being pushed against said point of contact?

If you are gonna complain about space physics, you can start at the impossible space ship design since the episode IV.

>>87569160
Yes, because there's nothing pushing back against the rebel ship, so there's no reason it should punch through the star destroyer.
It's essentially doing what a tug boat does to a much bigger ship, but pushing instead of pulling.

why?

>complaining about science in Star Wars
You are aware space combat would look completely different?

>>87569793
Good job Einstein, ever wonder why you have to PULL the ship, and not PUSH it?

>>87569860

Of course, but that doesn't mean you have to drive the stupidity level to infinity

>>87569858
There's a reason it's pulling the bigger ship and not just pushing against it.

because """"Hammerhead""""

Yet here you are complaining about tug boats in zero g

so pushing is the same as pulling? that is what my post said.
Can you read?

this pisses me off

>still cant read
you must be a fucking retard

>>87569931
Star Wars is however so divorced from reality that I'm not sure what do you mean by "stupidity". Laws of physics are barely present.

>>87568387
honestly i thought the ship was designed to be a battering ram, i mean it is called a hammer head. i assumed that it had some sort of shield on the front that could act like a repulsion field

>>87568898
He's right to
e=mc2

>>87568992
It's actually
>mass x (mass x velocity)
so it does actually work

>>87570235

thanks for playing. find another parroted criticism from RLM next time.

>>87568458
It's not zero g though. The planets gravity is acting on the ship. Do you think satellites are "floating" in orbit? No, they are in a perpetual free fall to earth. The amount of thrust that ship must have it's a wonder why they didn't fly a few of those straight into the deathstar III.

>>87570124
If I sit on the hood of a car, it can gently accelerate quite a bit before I'll fall off. If I'm standing in front of it and it's already in motion I'll be smashed off it when it hits

>>87570263
prove it

>>87570322
>tiny ship doesn't have enough mass to push big ship
>mass x (mass x velocity) so it does actually work

>>87568849

But the Hammerhead made contact with the Star Destroyer at low speed, they only revved up their engines and increased speed when the two ships were already touching

>>87570434
I can't, I'm not retarded enough to be able to make you understand the retardedness of the discussion

>>87570322
>mass x (mass x velocity)
still makes zero sense

you guys are such fuckingnerds lol

>>87570468
>made contact with the Star Destroyer at low speed
>Somehow the tiny ship can push the other one anyway

>>87568387
>hammerhead rams into star destroyer
ok sure, its armored for ramming
>hammerhead can move star destroyer
ok sure, the star destroyer is disabled, and the hammerhead isnt moving it very fast
>hammerhead drives star destroyer into other star destroyer with enough force to cleave it in half, without the hammerhead itself crushing through the star destroyer
wut

the only weak argument i can think for it, is that the hammerhead is pressing almost directly into presumably the two strongest shear surfaces on the star destroyer (its armored top and bottom sides), but its still whack

I didn't mind the sequence except for the second ship getting sliced in half like the first ship was folded over 9,000 times.
I think it would have worked better if it was treated more like a desperate last ditch effort. I mean instead of having it me some special ship apparently designed to do this, make it a suicide run. Have the captain of a corvette or even the mon calamari ship sound the alarm to abandon ship and stays behind with a skeleton crew. Have him shout some order about all power to forward shields and engines. Gives a "it was an honor to serve" speech and then they kamikazi the ships to take down the shields.

>>87570435
how do you think the mass of the thrusters propel the much larger ship they are attached to and how is that any different?

This movie pisses me off every time I think about it.

>>87570725
it's not the same as those, it's a different ship from TOR I think

>>87570406
Because you're accelerating with the car, slowly.
When the car hits you energy is transferred in a much shorter time period on a rather narrow area.

>>87570385
I know we collectively agreed that the Forever War story predicts how space warfare will be conducted. However in starwars. Why didn't the alliance just strap shields and an engine to a tiny moon and launch it at the deathstar. Starwars space battles don't really make any sense beyond sci fi ww2

>>87568387
TOTALLY

EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>87570774
>>car now moving at considerable speed
thats the catch, it wasnt THAT FAST. maybe the animators were shit but it looked like realy slow 3,

>>87568387

>mfw sci-fantasy cucks trying to make us think a ship orders of magnitude more massive couldn't come up with the energy to correct it's positioning
Just fire off the left most engine on the star destroyer.
