I think the radiation from the sun which our atmospheric layer shields us from is the biggest problem. How can you space fare if gamma rays slowly kill everyone that's sent out?
Star Destroyers are slow as frick outside hyperspace. Something slow like that wouldn't be able to hover. Basic physics.

Han Solo in ANH makes a comment on how ISDs are really fast. >"I've outrun Imperial starships … I'm talking about the big Corellian ships now."
The Millennium Falcon also was unable to outrun the 3 ISDs in ESB
In real life US aircraft carriers, despite being big as frick, are faster than most ships due to their powerful nuclear reactors powering them. It makes perfect sense the these big ass ISDs have powerful engines.

They're actually so fast that the first thing they're ever seen doing is overtaking at sublight a ship colloquially called a blockade runner, that is like half engine by volume
Then like the other anon said, Han specifically comments on their speed and they maintain pursuit on the falcon after hoth

I would've love it if they were ejected vertically, like rockets
supposedly victory class star destroyers, the smaller ones, could enter orbit. However that's clearly not a victory in the pic. Imperial class star destroyers, which that is, were too large.
They look neat for scifi movies but they're stupid for real life and do not work in real physics. Same as the Enterprise. It's a real shame, but real starships are boring as frick and not that fun to look at. Literally 2001 is what starships will look like, cyclinders are the essentially the best for real physical craft. I know, it's disappointing.
I remember expanse books explicitly stating that the spaceship form didn't matter at all, as there's no wind, water, friction or air resistance in open space. They can look as they please, as long as they fulfill their purpose.

The aerodynamics don't matter, obviously.
The structural integrity does matter, a lot. Start accelerating (or decelerating) with huge engines in the wrong place and you'll rip the ship apart.
because nasa is a scam, man has never been in outer space, all they do is suck up money for the ngo's so that they can undermine the usa for the chinks >inb4 flat earter

You mean build a Starship Enterprise on the ground? Probably $500 million. It's not that big. You'd probably spend more on the computer interface than the actual building.

Unquantifiable if you include all the tech, though. What does verterium cortenide cost?
this seems like the comfy wars thread. i finally watched rise of skywalker, and it was good. i think force awakens just had people's hope too high. that one's really good, and the next two were just good. revenge if the sith is still easily my favorite though. pic related, love these guys.
Wish they'd bring back Interdictor Cruisers and put them in shows/movies. The whole gravity well preventing hyper thing made for interesting tactics and stories
Planets are pretty small and uncomplex since this is for teens. But anyway, stormtroopers and ties used to be actually deadly, in the literature anyway, and the destroyer could sit in orbit raining nuclear blasts on the seat of government, bases, populations, or supplies until they capitulate
frick all pilot visibility, huge cross section, no hyperdrive, and the solar panels shadow themselves or at worst are both perpendicular to the sun
can't fly at night, can't fly in deep space
>41 turrets just on the topside
if i was in control of star wars, i'd make a short animated series just showing fleet battles between different types of fleets.
cross-era battles, related/same faction battles, all that shit.
ANYTHING that doesn't exist irl triggers me immensely, i CAN NOT stand makebelieve shit, ships, planes, machinery? i want the irl models, it could be from anytime anywhere, guns? the same deal with the SOLE exception of laser rifles from fallout, those i like and embrace
both have a "weak neck," one isn't designed explicitly for war, one is built around the idea that anything that could penetrate its defenses won't need to pick and choose shots.
>le triangle
It is very nice, however a superior design coming through
Why doesn’t NASA make ships like this?
Something of this size would need to be constructed in space, and we are nowhere close to having the infrastructure required for that.
Literally just assemble them on the moon
jesus humans are so slow and moronic, just make the damn spaceship already, how much time do you need for frick sake

Calm down marsian Black person
wrong, clearly they can just take off from the ground in atmosphere
Using magical anti-gravity repulsor lift technology. For something actually this size it could only be built in space.
>anti-gravity repulsor
this is not magical. Just wait, gravity will become the new form of energy fuel
It is already. Dams use gravity.
I'm talking about anti-gravity you smug homosexual
Lets not be coarse.
Star Destroyers hovering in atmosphere was the gayest thing ever.
why?

No I don’t like that
I know, it's lame to learn that. It's why the Expanse ships are designed the way they are, mostly cylindrical, to be close to realistic.
at least these can account for non-magical gravity in-ship (stacked skyscraper), which outside of spinning will be the main driver in ship design.
I actually expected the belter ships to buck that trend. It'd be nice if their ships were more geared towards floaty movement.

Sure Anon. You're the only smart one in the thread. Well done.
Original star wars kino
Prequel star wars modified with a splash of paint
Sequel star wars but fake and worse
What the frick are you talking about
moron moment
nice gaymobiles
pvre kino when the armoured hangar doors slide open
>your daughter will be in bed by 11pm heheheh
>I'll frick your daughter, then your wife and make you watch.
for me, its the venator
Looks obsolete, fellas, we're sending them all to the dump.
Soulless slabs aka hur dur aircraft carrier in space including exposed bridge tower
There is nothing more soulful
Is this accurate or someone just made it up?
It's official.
both
Nothing will ever top the USS Enterprise
Star Wars is for gays
How much would this cost to build irl?

I thought you were talking about building a building that is a replica of the Enterprise. I didn't realize you'd gone full moron.
>flying pizza
funny
>flying slice of pizza
>flying whole pizza
>flying cheese pizza
what did ((they)) mean by this
Star Wars gays will always be jealous of Captain Kirk and the original Enterprise. You homos just can't help it.

Here's a consolation (You) as no one took your bait

>10,000 stormtroopers and 72 tie fighters
>A single star destroyer can overwhelm an entire rebellious planet
Really?
Planets are pretty small and uncomplex since this is for teens. But anyway, stormtroopers and ties used to be actually deadly, in the literature anyway, and the destroyer could sit in orbit raining nuclear blasts on the seat of government, bases, populations, or supplies until they capitulate
yes really, you just need to destroy the planet shield generator, that's it , once that is gone you bombard major cities until they capitulate
outrageously big, I love it
what an awful design
frick all pilot visibility, huge cross section, no hyperdrive, and the solar panels shadow themselves or at worst are both perpendicular to the sun
can't fly at night, can't fly in deep space
I would've loved to see that red room, and Luke fighting the guards
what are wings for
both the original and venator are cool, but old sith did it best.
>41 turrets just on the topside

I regret to inform you that you have posted the fake and gay ISD/VSD memberberries knockoff from tortanic as opposed to the actual old sith
it's pretty cool. but i like the harrower-class better.
ANYTHING that doesn't exist irl triggers me immensely, i CAN NOT stand makebelieve shit, ships, planes, machinery? i want the irl models, it could be from anytime anywhere, guns? the same deal with the SOLE exception of laser rifles from fallout, those i like and embrace
y u homies say capitulate so much?
its a cool word
You need to read a dictionary and increase your vocabulary, homie
its an aircraft carrier just with no water
That would be the Battlestar Galactica.
>scoffs at your triangle
>turns your triangle into 60.000 triangles
I think it's pretty stupid how one of the disney products turned this into a small death star
superior in every conceivable way to drek
both have a "weak neck," one isn't designed explicitly for war, one is built around the idea that anything that could penetrate its defenses won't need to pick and choose shots.
Ever since playing TIE Fighter I've had a soft spot for the Victory class star destroyer.
