    Versus Match Omega class Destroyer (Babylon 5) VS Star League McKenna Class Battleship.

    I'm totally open to the McKenna having better armour, maybe it does, it has a better airwing and better auxiliary craft. That's why this match up caught my interest enough to get me to post which is a rare thing. I was genuinely interested in figuring out how the McKenna would operate with those...

    It is because his numbers are based on the idea that And that alone is the reason for the Black Stars destruction, that it could not resist that amount of energy which would give its armour the properties of about 1mm of aluminium according to the linked calculator. He then extrapolates B5...

    Versus Match Omega class Destroyer (Babylon 5) VS Star League McKenna Class Battleship.

    I'm way too old and tired for this gotcha shit and if you really do think B5 armour is so weak you can literally put a finger through it, nah, thats not a sound basis to stand on. I don't think anyone is going to accept that as logical even the other Btech fans so its just a waste of effort to...

    Fair enough, I'm done. If you really are going to old the position that B5 armour has inferior properties to aluminium foil, and thats not an exaggeration that is the thickness of material in those initial calculations, then so be it.

    Better than yours, it doesn't say the shots are six tons each as you keep stating either. Why haven't you sourced that if we're going that route? I said the ship was unaffected by the x-ray pulse which is invisible and moves at c. If it was affected by it the damage would have been obvious and...

    Versus Match Omega class Destroyer (Babylon 5) VS Star League McKenna Class Battleship.

    Its straight out of the wiki which cites tactical operations page 408 as its source The maximum it could weigh is 1.2 tons, but given you want to leave space in your ammo holds to actually move and store those shots safely I'd figure less. But if you want to use 1.2 tons thats fine by...

    I'll stand corrected on the altitude variation, happen to know if they offer modifiers for environmental conditions or range?

    Versus Match Omega class Destroyer (Babylon 5) VS Star League McKenna Class Battleship.

    Figures are from the wiki which tells us ammo storage is five rounds for six tons. Thats not five rounds weighing six tons each, its five rounds that weigh six tons total. Or 800kg per round. roughly equal to high calibre real world naval rounds. I just used the video, I could have time...

    Alrighty then, lets go with the Black Star. You already name dropped Atomic rockets as an authority on this subject which is fair, so lets use them as a source on nuclear weapons in space and compare their description of what should happen with the visuals of what does happen. You are going...

    I wouldn't put much faith in the Black Star, according to those calcs the asteroid that hit the Lexington and broke up at the start of that video would have gone clean through the ship :p You could possibly use that scene to argue the minbari are unusually vulnerable to nukes, but Minbari...

    Versus Match Omega class Destroyer (Babylon 5) VS Star League McKenna Class Battleship.

    You can get an idea on the acceleration of an Omega from when they leave after Delenn arrives during the battle for B5. The ships turn before departing quite rapidly, based on the fact they are pivoting on their centre you can work out the distance travelled (Circumference of a circle) and how...

    Very nice :) Namewise I'd lean Vanguard, first of a new breed and a solid name. Warspite is always good as that ship just refused to die, Valiant strong too :)

    Stargate Through the Looking Glass and into Heaven.

    Yeah, the ship is canon but a tougher design than that particular image, more and bigger guns :p If I recall the lore back when Earth was getting thrashed each of the great powers began building a super ship that would be used to evac the best and brightest from Earth designed to be strong...

    I particularly enjoyed the Ra bit, always here for some mythic world building :)

    Stargate Through the Looking Glass and into Heaven.

    I liked it, it hits the notes of a folk saga but without artificially discarding or weakening the heroes. You just make the enemy a significant threat. Nice to see the wide variety is story direction and focus too, really is a canvas you can paint any genre on. Was a big strength of SG and...
