Think you have what it takes to handle zero G combat. If you've watched *any* science fiction ever, you're probably already trained to fail. This episode is something of an introduction, setting the stage for future nerd rants...

i think that the battlestars from battlestar galactica are well designed...... and their combat method is good mostly using fighters that do use good physic's and staying still or slow to use flak to create defensive fields of shrapnel with machineguns as point defense.using railguns and missiles to strike if they have to. along with carrying almost anything it needs as well as being able to build small craft to replace losses
-
Great, never made the other episode...
-
what about Babylon 5 Starfurys those things are very well designed

Paused it at 22 Seconds in, First Thoughts, Just use like a Catapult system and hurl objects, Styoform alone was enough to damage space ships due to the high speeds and such, What gos in motion stays in motion in space. As for ships? I dunno how far into the future are we? Well i was right in alot of ways XD

The one really smart thing about Star Destroyers is, that they can point almost all guns in a forward direction. If you look at it from the front, you can see all of the upper hull, lower hull, and the small side hulls between them. However, that also means they have almost nothing that allows them to shot at anything behind them and the exhaust probably will damage only things very close behind them.
It's also a carrier for smaller crafts and because it's in space, it can be made big enough to also carry all the supplies it needs. -
This reminds me of Kerbal Space Program... I always crash lol.

What did you say about hollywood desgn? In space ther is no air resistance, so a spaceship could have whatever shape desired. Your point fails. However, all the rest is true.

please elaborate. if you make a part 2 I will share it online. why is the Imperial star destroyer such a great design?
