Really?
So, not only are your asteroids explosive now, they also have rocket thrusters strapped to them?
HUH?, i was agreeing with you, "No roids cannot usually do so"...was in regards to them being capable of speed up on their own.
Didn't you just claim that the asteroids can speed up on their own?
Nope, you misread, i was actually saying the oposite.
We SEE that the asteroids at the side of the falcon do not collide. They all appear to move at roughtly the same speed.
If i said that you would scream about some sort of relative distance and velocity calculation.......
We do not see it speeding up or slowing down. We do see that the asteroids do not
actually move that much relative to each other. Thus, they are either not moving at all, very slowly or at about the same speed.
I would say the material is inconclusive and that claiming the falcon was not slowing down or speeding up as part of its evasive manouvers is hardly going to be accepted.
He was still running from the Star Destroyers, dumbass.
They were no where near and not even close enough to fire on him.
Besides, slowing down risks being hit by a larger asteroid, a far more devastating event as several small ones.
Dude Han is one of the best pilots in ANY franchise he would not limit his evasive manouvers to lateral and vertical combos, you have to accept that he would speed up and slow down as well to avoid roids, we see plenty pass by in front of the ship from above or other angles.
Khan limited his and look what happened....lol.
But go ahead - SHOW us that the two colliding asteroids were not at least 1000 meters away. It should be trivial to do.
Sure.
If i was going to show that the falcan was hardly moving and the distance i would point out that the momemt the roids hit and the surviving one appears ouit of the flash and explosion that it closes the distance to the falcon and passes below...or the falcon approaches it.
Either way the surviving fragments size barely changes from the point it exits the explosion to the point is passes below the falcon.
If the falcon had been approaching from a 1000m distance or even been stationary and the roid had been approaching from 1000m distance then it would have looked visably larger as it passed below them compared to when it first apreared after the collision/flash explosion ect....
Ships who are as heavily armed as their neighbors warships. Why do you resist calling them warships?
The defiant is a warship, so are a few other of the new classes?, happy?....the others like the E-D are ships of exploration by canon.
Not only that, but the Prime Directive should be rewritten. A law that has to be ignored on numerous occasions to be moral is obviously a bad law.
I assume you will understand why i did not respond to all the above questions regarding the prime directive considering my final camment regarding "Star fleet captains should be allowed to judge each situation on its individual merits."
-SW has infinite Energy at it's disposal
-They don't, but have enough energy to lift several tons out of a gravity well within seconds. Still a shitload, but a lot better than infinite energy.
What is your excuse for us seeing ST ships being capable of the same thing?.
Furthermore, minutes is impossible unless you think Han fixed the Hyperdrive within minutes.
I doubt he expected to be in the floor of the falcon fixing for days while they were getting shot at and chased by at least 3 ISD's and multiple TIE fighters (before he noticed they hit summat rather than getting shot).
Flat-out lie.
Not a lie as wee see the VAST AREA around the SSD and ISD's and it is sparse.
They flew after the Falcon, and we saw that this field was incredibly dense.
He flew through dense pockets to lose the ties.
That the small asteroids are not visible when we see the SDs is no wonder, since they are
-blowing up lot's of them
-the small ones are too small to see from that distance.
We do not see them blow up lots, in fact quite the oposite.
A dense belt would have a densly covered background that cannot be denied.
The belt was sparse apart from the occasional pocket of density likely cause by the occasional collision of larger roids and the falcon flew through them to lose the ties.
You are aware that this was a multi-gigaton asteroid?
Irellavant as the KE from it could have been many millions of times more than was required to knock off the bridge tower.
You say that the Empire can create some kind of fusion within heavy metals within their reactors.
Nope your site says that.
You extrapolate that to mean that they can do it with planets by shooting beams at them!
Not just from that but essentially correct.
So i guess Picard tought "what a horrible weapon" because the Federation already has thousands of them?
Suppose a US-American soldier finds a nuke. Will he be shocked by the existance of such a weapon (it not being on hostile territory)?
You now know what picard was thinking?, and who says the federation has thousands of them?.
Suppose a US-American soldier finds a nuke. Will he be shocked by the existance of such a weapon (it not being on hostile territory)?
Dunno but personally i know we have lots of nukes and i think "what a horrible weapon" about each and every one of them.
Either way, you have no proof that he was not a member of the Federation. Given that he hid it on Risa (a member of the Federation), we have at least reason to assume that he was also a member of the Federation.
You have no proof that he was a member.
In fact if i was from the future and i had a WMD like that hiding it on a planet that was part of a federation that could make them would mean if it was discovered it would be a big deal but not like if a race without the tech found it.
A bit like hiding a nuke in a country like the USA, the USA find it and its YAY a free nuke....after a WTF IS A NUKE DOING UNDER ME DRIVE!!!!....obviously.
Didn't you notice that the Federation contains lot's of aliens?
Compared to what?, the rest of the galaxy?...nope not that many when you look at it from that perspective.
Protomatter is readily available now?
Well if nelix carried a flask that could contain it id hardly call it rare, and readily available to the federation is hardly the same as ir grows on trees..
Besides, the modified torpedo used no protomatter.
Maybe maybe not we do not get a description of what it contains, however other WMD's did.
And you are still ignoring that Red Giants work on a totally different process than normal stars. That alone is enough to show that they won't work on normal stars, unless you can show that they do.
Well they were trying to increase helium fusion by artificialy heating the stars core that in turn would cause more heat and more helium fusion.
Now if i understand it helium fusion increases at around 100 million K and they heated the star to over 250 (last comment before they ran off and it was climbing fast). So what is to stop them heating a normal star to 100 million K and inducing helium fusion and allowing the process to increase. You cannot say that main sequance stars do not have helium in them to allow the process now can you?.
