Completed Death Star II vs. Vitiate's Sith Empire

The 900 km number is absurd. Thankfully 160 km seems to be the size they have settled on.

The second Death Star is 900 km in diameter, compared to the original's 160.
So a bigger target. Not very smart. And to those who think it was invincible that's ridiculous since we see it destroyed.

Because it was under construction.

So what we see was destroyed. We never saw it completed and nothing is invincible. That's ridiculous. Even Mario with a star man could plummet to his pasta binging death.

Right. But we do have some info on what a completed DS 2 would be.

- Bigger, better shielded, faster superlaser recharge time and pinpoint accuracy.

- No weakness to exploit(they would need the plans for this anyway, which they don't have here.)

- We know that in ROTJ, ships couldn't pass through the shields of an uncompleted DS when it needed a planetary shield generator.

- 15,000 Turbolasers, 15,000 Heavy Turbolasers, 7,500 laser cannons, 5,000 Ion cannons, 768 tractor beams.

- Being designed around large scale assaults, if going from the 1st DS I don't see why it wouldn't be the same given it's the superior station. It also noted as once completed, to be invulnerable to snubfighter attacks as well.

So there's plenty of info of what a completed DS 2 would be.

The specs are all fine and dandy but I do not debate based off improvements alone. I like to see these weapons in action. I agree it would be a major improvement on the first one but constructing something of this magnitude leaves it a huge target until it's finished.

Zenwolf, you seem very passionate about your Death Stars. Are you familiar with the Kelvin trilogy of Star Trek films ? 🙂

Right but here, the OP stipulates that the DS 2 is finished.

Also nah, never got into Trek all that much. I remember watching some of the old movies, but that's about it.

Zen, the old Trek films were terrible I agree 110 percent. The thing is a Star Wars fan directed the first two Kelvin Trek films which were exquisite. I highly recommend watching them and if you like complete the trilogy and then get back to me. We can compare Trek weapons of mass destruction to Wars Ot weapons of mass destruction aka your beloved Death Stars.

Who says they were my beloved? Wha? I'm just saying the stats, cause I got the info. /Shrug

I thought I sensed loyalty and passion. So you're lukewarm about the Death Stars. Ok.

Ehh...I like em well enough. But I'm not obsessed with them or anything.

If I have the info for things, I'll post what I got. Simple.

I need an obsessed fan. I can't seem to find any on here with regards to what I want to debate.
