Favourite Science Fiction Spaceship

Red Dwarf was NOT armed - it is/was a mining ship.

The 'crew' have adapted the 'bazookoid' mining tool into an offensive personal weapon, though.

 

Of what I know of the "crew", no one present would understand anyhting of the ship's armament anyway! Lister, Rimmer? Naahh...

Btw: Robert Lewellyn rocks!

 

True about Lister and Rimmer, same goes for Cat and Kryten too. But Holly?

Hmm, maybe I should start watching those seasons 4 - 8 (after this hangover). Hopefully I can comprehend what Rimmer and especially Lister say, that Lister's dialect is smegging hard to follow.

 

The E-Wing is far superior.

 

The Tie Interceptor ate X-Wings alive.

 

Question for all the experts on Star Wars craft: factoring in all the immense energies needed to use a laser (meaning strong enough to harm something over long distances), wouldn't ships need hundreds of reactors? And how do fighters contain enough energy to fire at all?

 

Starwars lasers aren't lasers. They're ionized gasses that are siphoned through a power handler (often called an Xciter) and accelerated out of the barrel.

 

So did the Tie-Defender

 

Boy, I bet you have a closet full of Star Wars Lego, too... is there anything you don't know about these movies? It looks like Lucas got more than he bargained for, he just made a few science fiction movies and now hordes of fans try to explain in a scientific manner how the whole thing works! Do you happen to have an explanation for the occurance of the Force, too? :lol:

Before you might interpret this wrongly, I was speaking in compliments, because I am truly baffled by your knowledge of the series.

 

The force is explained in Episode 1.

A Jedi's attunement with the Force is directly related to the number of small micro-organisms called Midichlorians that live in his skin. These cells translate electrical waves from the host brain into vibrations through the skin that somehow manipulates some sort of magical force thingie in the air.

BS, I say.

 

Yes, it sounds like a random biological phenomenon that could hit even insects or ewoks or other pathetic creatures of the Star Wars universe. Imagine a full Jedi fruitfly. Also, it would mean that the little critters remained stationary on one body for all that body's life, yet active enough to give him his powers, and then just leave when he's dead? Wouldn't that make a jedi who kills other jedis more powerful with every kill? This doesn't make sene to me either Danyel.

 

It doesn't make sense to anyone. The few lines in which Obi-wan explained the force in Episode 1 were the cause of the most contraversy regarding Starwars than anything else. It has caused more internet discussions and debates than the almighty Starwars vs. Startrek debate.

 

Best spaceship of all time was that little pointy thing that used to fly around on a string in the old Flash Gordon 1930s serial.The best you'll ever get.

 

Whoever first came up with the idea of 'explaining' the force when they were drawing up the script for episode 1 should have been slapped there and then. We were all perfectly happy with the rather hazy explanation in the first Star Wars for twenty odd years but somebody clearly couldn't leave well enough alone!

 

They probably didn't want to be accused of starting a cult!

 

They surely ruined it for themselves... Bad move! Bad move! Where's the undo button!

 

How about Boba Fett's Slave 1?

 

Its entirely capable of fulfilling the needs of a bounty hunter, but it has no military value what-so-ever.

 

Plus loses out in the looks department.
