Addressing stupidity #2: Starkiller's feat

Started by DarthAnt664 pages

A comparison to the Star Destroyer also isn't fair, because note the fore ship's width is probably like 60 meters. And the height wasn't 166 meters, more like 40 meters (assuming the primary communications array was being considered in the original height). I'm not trying to say it isn't an insane feat, but rather we should consider all the factors of the feat before mindlessly going on about it.

If only we still had Chaostheory, anyone remember that guy? He'd tell us the proper dimensions.

He's still on Naruto forums. I figure the dimensions are roughly 125 meters long, 60 meters in width, and 40 meters tall.

So Starkiller's defence is pushing around the same effectiveness as the appolo 8's hull material- made in 1968?

I guess he might be approaching Kasim level barriers then 😂

I suppose you missed the part where he held together the remains of a 300m frigate in the process, despite it being the titular subject of this thread. mmm

TBH, I have no Idea about the context of the feat in question - all I heard was Starkiller starkilled a big ship.

If someone would be so kind to explain the feat step-by-step, so to make sense of it, that would be grand.

Actually probably more like 115 meters (the piece connecting the two parts of the ship is irrelevant).

The outer layer of our sun is about 10,000 degrees fahrenheit, which just so happens to be among recorded readings for atmospheric reentry.

Eh? What I'm looking up, reentry at best is only 3,000 F.

Quote? Starkiller made note it would "physically hold together."

I think it's worth mentioning that the ship was clearly getting pummeled. Even the remaining parts would likely be very damaged and far easier to blow apart.

Maybe, but it's still made of space age material. 😉

The heat produced depends on the mass of the object entering. Is starkiller outside of the ship while shelding himself against re-entry, or inside it? For the former, he allready gets some protection from the ship's hull itself, for the latter, his body alone isn't enough to produce that kind of heat when entering atmosphere - an insulated astronaut suit could protect him in this case.

All I'm seeing there is work is being done to design systems that protect shuttles from up to 5,500 F.

Otherwise I don't see how before, anything coming in reentry survived.

My mistake, he was guiding it to hit the shield generator.

"seen during reentry." 👆

Right....so then if they are just getting/designing this technology, how is it before anything survived?

The damage was evidently severe enough that it was already in the process of breaking apart.

While immensely impressive, he did that by simply nudging the ship once with telekinesis.

Even conservative interpretations are enough to put Starkiller above, well, a lot of people.

Gosh find out for yourself. 🙂

The impression I was given that he was keeping it on a steady path the whole time, and stopping the rear and the aft from tearing in two.
