The context is that they are refering to the base not the planet.
And Mike made the suggestion that the planet might not have had an atmosphere, and
I was correcting him. Again, you don't get the context.
Because you say so?, of cpourse it does.
Not in any meaningful tense.
Bullshit it fits perfectly.
Clearly you did not get the "destroyed very early part" of my statement. The atmosphere drifted away
after the planet's topsoil was atomized! How do you explain that if it's as simple as making a one nanometer hole in a door on the base, enough to make it not "self contained" in regards to bio warfare.
"Drift away" is about as far from being "blasted away at escape velocity" as you can get and fits perfectly with it being the bases atmosphere.
So you think that, when you put on an NBC mask, you create a "self contained atmosphere"
AND when you take it off, that air "drifts away"? Newsflash: the air doesn't drift away.
EDIT: breaking discovery; the quote specifies that the
last of the atmosphere had drifted away! If it were just the base's self contained atmosphere, not all of it would drift away like the quote implies, which is that the base was devoid of all atmosphere after the bombardment when this would not have happened; most of the air would still stay in the base, and any that left would be replaced by air from the outside.
The only way that the quote makes sense is that Dankayo's atmosphere was blasted into space, because that's how it cannot get back and how "the LAST" can drift away without being replaced.
So 3 star destroyers have more firepower than the fucking executor now as they could drop this shield you just pulled out of your ass but is never mentioned in the book?.
You're reversing your stance. Your original complaint was that 3 ISD's would be overkill for a small base:
hy the fuck did it require 3 star-destroyers
(based, BTW, on a strawman that I denied the base being armored and self contained)
And yet you're reversing it as
underkill.
Bull fucking shit as firepower alone cannot get it done without proper coverage and timing ect.
And high end SW calcs also include pinpoint accuracy and long range as well.
Far from pointless as i pointed out and yes it was stated to have "DRIFTED AWAY" rather than being blasted away at escape velocity.
Concession accepted.
If you open your door, the "atmosphere" in your house will not "drift away" even if it were completely sealed.
Note it all you like as it is fucking meaningless.
No, the ISD was bombarding the planet/base/etc. Logically, the effects that come with more energy being outputted would come
after the effects that would come earlier, such as making the atmosphere of a "self contained" base "drift away", which would be as simple as making a tiny hole in a section of the base and therefore would have been accomplished likely in the first volley, not
after the topsoil was atomized!
BULLSHIT BUT GO AHEAD AND FUCKING PROVE IT.
Destroying a self contained base would be pretty "easy". Unless if you're going to claim that making a tiny hole in the base (enough for just one air molecule to pass through) takes more energy than
atomizing the topsoil, it would take less energy and therefore would have happened as an effect of the bombardment first, not last as the quote describes.
