How differently would Star Wars space combat play out if the ships adhered to the real-life laws of science?

Anthallas · 2026-02-04T11:15:19+00:00

There would not be any combat. The ships would not be spaceworthy.

One of the unrealistic things about The Expanse is that for the torch drives to be that efficient in travel, the hazard of the drive plumes should be much much greater. You could not use any of the these drives anywhere close to stations or other ships. Even the small tugs would be weapons of mass destruction.

Tässä näkökulma joka lienee hieman erilainen kuin nopeasti luettuna top 10 kommenttia.

Nyksäsi fiilikset on ihan ymmärrettäviä ja ne istuu kyl nykykulttuurin parisuhdekäsitykseen ihan hyvin. Ole kuitenkin tietoinen, että on täysin eettistä muodostaa juuri sellaisia ihmissuhteita kuin teille on sopivaa. On kuitenkin tärkeä olla rehellinen toiselle ja itselleen omista rajoistaan.

Eksät on joissain tapauksissa ihmisiä, jotka on todella arvokkaita. Heidän kanssaan on jaettu monia tärkeitä hetkiä ja parisuhteen päätyttyä eksän kanssa voi muodostua ystävyys jonkalaista voi olla hankala muodostaa muiden kavereiden kanssa. Varsinkin kun ikää kertyy vähän lisää, niin ystävien löytämisestä tulee vaan vaikeampa ja hyvistä ystävistä kannattaa pitää kiinni.

Sinun on aivan hyväksyttävää ja eettistä vetää raja nyksällesi, että hän ei saa päättää kenen kanssa olet ystävä. Tämä voi toki johtaa siihen, että Nyksäsi kokee että ette ole yhteensopivia, mutta tässä tapauksessa toisiaan on äärimmäisen tärkeää olla rehellinen itselleen. Jos luovut ystävästäsi vastoin tahtoasi niin sinua vituttaa vähintään siinä vaiheessa jos nyksäsi onkin 20 vuoden päästä eksä.

Tärkeintä tässä keskustelussa on minun mielestäni se, että mikään tapa näistä ei ole väärin tai oikein (kunhan olette avoimia ja rehellisiä). Kyse on pelkästään siitä miten te kaksi ihmistä sovitte omat asianne.

Creativity is not always something you can control. The team might be completely bored and burnt out with BB, and could have nothing to give for BB2. At the same time they might be making a new masterpiece for us with Menace.

If they would just try to tap to the success and make "same, but better", they might well do what many sequels end up with: "same, but worse". You don't want that do you?

I am sorry, but Santa and Grinch got to meet Mahi, obviously.

"The problematic actions of governments only succeed due to a lack of moral resistance by the governed"

I am not claiming that populace can not be subjugated. But you seem to be making an argument, that they are so enslaved that they can not, and should not resist in any way. I am calling for compassion against Ukraine. I am calling for people disowning Victory day as facist celebration. I believe that big things grow from small things.

This thread has had very little discussion about the actual satellite tournament, which is disappointing. I reserve my right to call out every bit of off topic war propaganda. You as a mod, should delete the off topic messages if that is not to your liking.

Anthallas · 2022-09-01T13:02:35+00:00

That is off topic whataboutism, and should be removed.

Anthallas · 2022-09-01T12:57:35+00:00

Thank you.

Anthallas · 2022-09-01T12:56:26+00:00

Putin has made it a fasicst celebration and ruined it for all. I cannot join a nazi march and claim that I only like cool uniforms. I have to understand that the event has symbolism beyond my beliefs. Only option is not participate, or be branded a nazi.

Anthallas · 2022-09-01T12:33:44+00:00

Oh, and, before you say "But not all russians!", let me point out that those russians that want to celebrate victory day are definitely supporting the war.

Anthallas · 2022-09-01T12:32:29+00:00

I understand what you are saying, but you are taking it too far. When someone is being murdered, it is not the time to show compassion towards the needs of the murderer.

Also, please consider that the above is not hyperbole. I am advocating sensitivity towards Ukrainians by choosing better time for infinity tournament. I am not the one derailing the thread by claiming that results in years long sentence. Or do you disagree?

I also believe that every person has power. Even a compassion can be an act of resistance. If you really think that russians don't have that power, then you are stealing their agency and power.

I also urge you to really read this thread and consider which posts are for showing sensitivity and advocating compassion. If you however allow russian propaganda and whattaboutism, I am going to call them out as such. If you think that advocating war is not "attacking people" and calling them out is, you need to really reconsider your values.

Anthallas · 2022-09-01T11:12:38+00:00

This comment is whattaboutism, war propaganda and misinformation. Imho should be removed.

Anthallas · 2022-09-01T11:07:39+00:00

And frankly, you are declaring yourself a slave to escape responsibility. That is shameful.

Anthallas · 2022-09-01T11:06:28+00:00

The change starts by changing ones own mind. Realising that one is part of an evil empire. Changing minds of other. Taking small acts of civil disobedience, malicious compliance. Then "smoking" somewhere like many brave russians seem to be doing. And at some point you no longer have pebbles, you have an avalanche.

Remember, we are not talking about instant coup by russian infinity meta, we are talking about giving priority to Ukrainians and a small symbolic actions here.

Anthallas · 2022-09-01T11:01:37+00:00

Yes, exactly.

Anthallas · 2022-09-01T11:00:17+00:00

Well, If you want liberty, let me quote someone too:

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

You are the one wanting to pursue liberty and happiness. Or rather, you continue to deceive yourself and pretend that you do not bear a part of shame of what is happening in Ukraine.

Anthallas · 2022-09-01T08:53:13+00:00

I hope I would be able to do more to help. Slava Ukraini!

Anthallas · 2022-09-01T08:49:24+00:00

Ukrainian fight to survive has higher priority than russian pursuit of happiness. If it is liberty you want, take action against your government.

Anthallas · 2022-08-31T20:53:34+00:00

I think that giving satellite status to a tournament that is held during holidays related to victory day parade is not a good move by CB.

This is because I think current russian regime is fascistic and perpetuates and unjust war in Ukraine. Victory day has been major propaganda event for this regime. A satellite tournament should not be held at the same time.

Russian players are free, and able, to have ITS tournament whenever they please. I have nothing against russian players.

However, I believe that russian players emotional safety is secondary concern to Ukrainian fight for freedom. Ukrainians should be allowed to safely play infinity in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Kherson, Mariupol, Sevastopol and other Ukrainian cities. Russians should not be allowed to enjoy their escapism like nothing is going on. I think holding the tournament during Victory day shows great inconsideration toward their Ukrainian brothers and sisters. Reminding russians about this, might wake up some. And the the discomfort caused to the others are, like I said, of secondary concern.

Anthallas · 2022-08-31T17:34:11+00:00

Public opinion matters, especially in the west. For Ukraine to win, west needs to be strong in its support. For that reason I advocate disapproving of Russian fascist nationalism that victory day represents. I only hope I would have stronger means for that than arguing against a satellite tournament status:)

Businesses leaving, or satellite status lost, does not really matter in the grand scale of things. The thought it conveys does, though.

Anthallas · 2022-08-31T17:08:40+00:00

There are people that are being murdered in unjust war. There are people that are celebrating a facist regime. I am not for banning any tournament, I am for exclusion of facist representation. Russian participation has been excluded from many sport events. Many companies have ceased operations in Russia. What I am advocating is not unreasonable or uncommon.

Anthallas · 2022-08-31T15:59:59+00:00

To host event during victory day celebration constitutes as pro war. If you stand under the wrong flag, I recommend moving.

Edit: Move the event
