Oh wow, you sure showed me. All it took was me looking up all the data for you and telling you first And yeah, you pretty much need a dead pilot, critical hit to the control systems, craft with its engines off, or similar to fail a roll that badly. It's always possible but generally speaking...

Unreal. It's literally quoted in the link I gave you to the forum. What's your excuse for not having read it? Re-entry is five points of damage per point of failure on the control roll. The MoF on having no control at all is 10, though the total damage can go as high as 250 if the pilot's...

Why don't you go ahead and prove these two positive claims.

It took less than ten seconds on google to find an example. ASF crashing, having minor damage, and being able to take off again is pretty much a BT Meme at this point. https://bg.battletech.com/forums/aerospace-combat/how-can-i-explain-a-asf-crash-and-then-the-asf-being-able-to-lift-off-again/

The Warlock is significantly more advanced than the Omega, which is an older design. Given it employs both Shadowtech and Minbari tech, it could be reasonably said to be generations more advanced, with artificial gravity, high acceleration, and advanced weaponry. In S6E5 A Call to Arms the...

Everybody else was also being reasonable. I'm perfectly willing to meet anybody halfway. Harlock used a great deal of cherry-picking and dishonest tactics and that made me set my teeth. I decided I was probably taking it too far so I did my little fishook and checked to see if he'd throw out...

That's kinda the problem, germanium cost is supposed to be one of the hurdles but by the rules, it isn't. This is because KF Drives are really weirdly front-loaded on costs. To wit, the tiny Scout's KF Drive costs 217,950,000 Cbills and weighs 85,500 tons, so 2,549 Cbills a ton. This is...

It's true, I personally run on the theory that KF Drives are 99.9% Helium by weight and only have a few tons of Germanium and Titanium in them (Otherwise Germanium, which is supposed to make gold look like lead, is ridiculously cheap.). This isn't a perfect solution but both slightly reduces...

I'm inclined to agree. If the Omega can kite long enough it can probably eventually wear down the McKenna. Note, however, the McKenna is built taking that tactic into consideration and its forward chase armaments are much longer-ranged than its broadsides. Still it suffers from BTechs typical...

That is a good point, though the 15G is more nonsense wank on the B5 fanboy side. The later Warlock class was the first Human ship with artificial gravity, which is why it didn't have that big rotating section the Omega needed to simulate gravity. This was spelled out by Stracynzki himself in...

I said five shells weighing six tons, not six tons each. Your reading comprehension continues to fail. But X-rays are clearly visible onscreen in other areas. Even if you want to discount the Omega by claims about particles, the Centauri have pure X-Ray lasers that are also visible on-screen...

Reading comprehension really isn't your strong suit, is it? Ammo Per Ton 0.83 (5 rounds weigh 6 tons) 0.83 (not 800Kg in any case) shots per ton, not tons per shot. Your answer has nothing to do with what you quoted, you claimed the ship was unaffected in the clip where the visuals showed...

How... the utter heck do you manage to say something so obviously false and think you'll get away with it? Do you really think you can tell the entire board that five is less than six, therefore five shells weighing a total of six tons are less than one ton each? This is some 1984 level...

Harlock's also got his figures all wrong there. He claims the shells for a NAC/40 are 0.8 tons each but they're actually 6 tons for 5 shots, well over 1 ton each. As I'll note, you don't supply a single picture to back up your claims or timeline. There's a reason for this. Keep the line I...

So... how do you want to run a vs. debate then?

I think we'd need something from the Creators to throw out established canon, not opinions from fans. As it is, the end of the Black Star fits perfectly into the existing canon and the effects are duplicated at other points in the story, nothing points to it being a golden BB or one-off event...

Hmm, my knee jerk is to give it to the McKenna due to the distilled essence of insanity that is BT armor, and the fact that ships in Babylon Five tend to be apparently made of candyfloss and have firepower to match. Here we see the Minbari Flagship Black Star destroyed by 2-megaton nukes that...
