Arguing with Jason (or with anyone) is impossible unless one establishes a common mode of analysis (unless - of course - you are arguing about the mode of analysis).

This. I generally don't even bother anymore, other than to point out others stupidity. By this point in time everyone's mind is made up and they are all unwilling or unable to comprehend the evidence that doesnt support their view. This applies to all versus debates in general

l33telboi ran the calcs for how powerful those nukes would have to be if there were a thousand of them and they turned an Earth-like, Earth-sized (well, more or less) world's surface into "blackened, radioactive glass". The answer came out at 735 teratons.

I33telboi's "calcs" make more generous assumptions than MWs BDZ calcs and are excessively generous to say the least. The Hypocrisy is hilarious considering the way he cries and whines about BDZ calcs that suggest yields higher than low megatons

Long answer: NO

If wish see two A wing knock Bridge defector shields watch video 6 minute and 19 seconds to about 6 minute and 27 seconds.

See Two A wing blow some part star destroyer up. A Delta flyer deliver lot heavy punch then two A wing can or maybe more Squadron.

The A wings didn't bring down the SSDs shields, concentrated fire from the Rebel fleet did. The delta flyer isnt any better than an X wing

Chroniton torpedoes suck so bad, they couldn't even manage to destroy voyager with them before they got temporal shielding

The Culture would kick the Timelords/ TimeWar Era Daleks asses in direct combat, right up until the instant they cease existing from time fucking/reality bomb.

 

The Xeelee can wipeout the Culture with numbers or timedickery or throwing a galaxy at the Culture's

And he almost beat Achilles in combat before going on to terrorize Munich...

And then killed untold numbers of Somalis

And finally there's no direct evidence supporting a jem hadar battleship/battlecruiser being more powerful than a ISD

That being said, it'd take the dominion a billion years to make it to the GFFA, and decades after that to make it anywhere important.

 

And other than through windows with the shields down, bug ramming attacks should be pretty useless.

Meh jemmie bugs can't even vaporize large chunks of ice.

Nero is much less annoying

Alas canonically they still have only as much sense as a box of rocks, and are still below Culture level

Less stupid than his blog, yet still inherently flawed

IT'S OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

hehehehehe

This is what a nuclear explosion looks like in space (footage from old nuclear tests in space):

 

 

 

 

Actually that is the starfish prime shot detonated at 400km where there is a tenuous atmosphere present

Since Coruscant and Earth appear to have similar lighting, gravity, than Earth, then their Parsec should be equal to ours, so Tatooine and Geonosis being less than a PARSEC apart makes them no more than 3.26LY apart.

I've only flipped through the atlas, but I dont remember seeing precise orbital data for Coruscant or a definition of a SW parsec

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In that source, were Endor and Sullust at a distance of 1/5th of the Galaxy apart, or much, much closer?

 

Because the ROTJ novel says they are "hundreds", not "thousands" of LY apart...

Dunno Don't have it, be pretty hard to tell if they aren't on the same map sheet. Oh and hundreds isn't a solid figure easily reconcilable, 20,000 is 20 hundreds. Maybe I'll go get it for christmas

 

 

 

And even with a much smaller SW Galaxy, Hyperdrive in Hyper-lanes is easily in the high hundreds of thousands of c, and in some cases, in the million of c.

 

The problem is when you leave these Hyper-lanes, as TCW shows us, where known routes are so important, even in an entire Galaxy...

 

That's why, in any conquest scenario, while the sheer numbers are for the Empire, greater speeds in known lanes do not translate in greater speeds in Federation territory, and so ins't the great advantage a lot of Warsies think...

 

And, by the way, vice versa: the Feds would not be able to attain high speeds in the hundreds of thousands of c because they don't know the "lay of the land"...

 

Except the lack of hyperlanes does nothing to hinder Obi-wan's trip to Kamino or Luke's trip to Dagobah in G canon. But you're all for the EU and lower canon when it suits your purposes

 

 

 

 

 

Lack of hyperlanes is an inconvenience at worst according to G canon

Yes, it was most likely unshielded, but it was still hit by a low kinetic impactor in the low KT.

 

So we're to believe that a ship that can fire TTs with it's biggest guns cannot withstand a low kinetic impactor equivalent to 1 millionth of it's most powerful guns?

 

And how did it become unshielded?

 

These low Kinetic impactors were hitting shields that can dissipate TTons to PTons of Firepower, yet you want us to believe these same shields were brought down by low KT impactors?

 

Even when we consider the fact the gunners were firing at incoming asteroids to clear the way, meaning most likely that not many asteroids got through?

 

You are a funny guy, Skooj, a very funny guy...

And just where did I mention TEH TERATONZ? Your OCD obsession with the ICS is really sad

 

 

 

 

 

And TLs are omnidirectional now?

 

I thought most Warsies compared them to HEAT rounds?

 

No the nukes they use in nBSG. Is it even possible for you to respond a SW related post without a strawman or red herring?

WHICH ONE OF YOU FOOLS POLLUTED THE ST VS. SW FORUM?

 

 

 

I SWEAR, THIS JOB IS WORK... WORK... WORK!

 

 

 

Don't feel bad, it took me a month to notice it was in the wrong forum

1) Well, average spiral, which would still make it large, considering that the vast majority of galaxies are dwarf irregulars and elipticals.

Except in the 1970s dwarf galaxies were virtually unknown, and the solar system only had 9 planets, Jupiter only had 13 moons, and extrasolar planets were still only theorized. Astronomical knowledge has increased immensely in the last 3 decades, applying the modern definition constitutes taking the quote out of context with what the author intended.

 

 

 

 

 

3) That site distintly said "The Sun". And here's a site that gives another definition of parsec: http://www.wisegeek....is-a-parsec.htm

 

And you are missing the point again. The Sol system doesn't exist in SW, thus their parsecs aren't necessarily the same as on in real life.

 

 

 

In universe, if the planet they based their parsec on orbits its star at a different distance then the Earth/Sun, their length of a parsec will be different

And Warsies don't? Praeothmin and I always thought that hyperdrive was faster than warp.

Obviously, I wasn't referring to you then

1)No, a modest-sized galaxy is still a modest-sized galaxy. The Milky Way is still considered a large galaxy.

Not when I was in elementary school, the MW was considered an average size galaxy

 

 

 

2)Despite the facts that some EU maps show a very small galaxy, considering that Tatooine and Geonosis were stated to be "less than a parsec away" when they show great distances between the two worlds, and the novelization of ROTJ, where it mentions that Sullust and Endor are "hundreds of light-years" apart, when there are maps in other books that show them to be very far apart.

As I said maps aren't necessarily drawn to scale

 

 

 

3)No, that site said that a parsec is the DISTANCE at which the sun would take up one arc-second of the sky.

 

No a parsec it the distance a star/quasar/UFO seen from earth, takes up a second of arc. For it to be the same in SW, it needs to be based off a star exactly 149 million KM from the inhabited planet making the observation
