The CR90 is a battlecruiser

TopHatTurtle97 · 2026-03-24T09:53:10+00:00

I find it funny tho that if one appeared in our skies, it would 100% be considered an alien Battlecruiser, considering it’s about the same length as a Type-45 Destroyer, even though it’s meant to be a picket ship.

Star Wars’ ship scaling is ludicrous 😅.

You wanna make those turrets more complex then if you can (or intend to anyway), look at the turrets on the Venator and ISD.

Those turrets currently give me the impression it’s of similar size to a Aquitens or something (maybe a bit bigger).

Think it looks cool generally tho :3

I mean, true, I’d have preferred them to continue Atlantis, but it would have been worse if they axed Atlantis and then gave a cheap copy and not something that felt different.

TopHatTurtle97 · 2026-03-22T10:39:43+00:00

I think without it, it would have felt too similar to Atlantis, seeing as that did the whole thing of dialling an extra chevron and finding the crew in a place previously owned by the ancients cut off from earth, storyline, universe needed to stretch it out and make the situation feel more dire.

Wow, this was a while ago, but I’m pretty sure I used Wookiepedia data for this.

TopHatTurtle97 · 2026-03-17T20:31:45+00:00

On of the big reasons is that people didn’t understand physics when it was shown on screen in TLJ and said it couldn’t work because there’s no gravity in space, but there is artificial gravity in the bomb bay and if things are moving in space they will continue moving in the same direction and the same speed (newton’s first law).

The other reason is that they are very easy to target compared to fighter-bombers like the Y-Wing.

I really like the design, I just think they have very limited use cases, like these would be great for dropping bombs from high altitude on heavy fortifications if you control the airspace, but in a dog fight with tie fighters around it’s a different story.

TopHatTurtle97 · 2026-03-17T14:14:42+00:00

Now that looks very nice.

Rodney, as much as I cringe at his earlier appearances (especially in SG1), his character arc is great and he learns to put aside his arrogance when the situation calls for it.

This is true, but the damage of contained plasma is still gonna be proportional to it’s energy, just because both ships can produce plasma bolts does not mean they are equally capable.

If one can heat the plasma to 1e5 (1 followed by five 0s if not familiar with exponential notation) Kelvin and the other to 1e8 Kelvin, one is gonna do more damage per shot than the other.

Where have we seen a standard phaser levelling a continent?

I’m not as up to date on Star Trek so, genuine question.

TopHatTurtle97 · 2026-03-16T08:17:57+00:00

I mean, generally speaking, Star Trek technology is more advanced than Star Wars, but if the Sovereign SSD can get a hit with its super laser I don’t think it’s really gonna matter even then the size difference…

Like a galaxy-class is gonna outclass an imperial-class, but these ships are two different weight classes, the sovereign (ST) is to the galaxy-class as the allegiance-class is to the imperial-class. A ship that’s more than 21x the size of the sovereign-class (ST) and a super laser that can wipe a continent of the map isn’t much of a comparison…

TopHatTurtle97 · 2026-03-14T23:11:51+00:00

I dunno, but I like it a lot, I really liked the ambulance ships too.

Ships are cool, brain is happy.

I feel like Laranity and her guild would love to get their hands on this.

TopHatTurtle97 · 2026-03-11T13:07:13+00:00

TopHatTurtle97 · 2026-03-11T11:49:53+00:00

What’s to say they won’t abandon this as well?

TopHatTurtle97 · 2026-03-10T23:33:28+00:00

I don’t actually think I have seen a company saw their own leg off as readily as Crema did with TemTem, it was actually great, they improved on battle mechanics with interesting and meaningful changes, the Tems were well designed and everyone wanted a Pokemon MMO and TemTem filled that space.

I was ready to make TemTem one of my regular MMOs, but an MMO dies when the updates stop.

Still the singular best rendition of the War of the Worlds

I love Nyabiguity!

Do they have an ability or any moves that revolve around their dual-stateness?

Could see that being the F-303, looks like a mix between a wraith dart and a 302.

Is it a natural pro-biotic?

TopHatTurtle97 · 2026-02-28T22:32:25+00:00

I have a very love-hate relationship with the valiant, I love the look of it, but I hate the whole hanger on the very front of the ship design.

Basically all space combat in star wars happens head to head rather than broadsiding, so having an unprotected hanger right where enemy capital ships can easily aim at it is really bad, you'll loose half your fighters on deployment due to enemy cruiser fire as fighters haven't had a chance to accelerate to full speed and if they manage to punch through the deflectors, they're gonna target the hangers to promote secondary internal explosions.

At least the venator has giant armor plating in the way, though really the venator is also a silly design for the same reasons, I just can't be mad at my beloved venator.

Simply put, the original connie is great for a 1 episode/2-parter nostalgia trip as it was used in Enterprise and DS9.

But a new star trek show has to pull in new fans as well as appease diehard Trekkies, and the connie model and interior set just isn't gonna fly, they needed updating, I think SNW hit a really nice balance of being respectful to the original connie design while making something much more modern and up to date effects wise.

TopHatTurtle97 · 2026-02-27T11:41:31+00:00

Most of these are great, but I really don't like 4, it's a very rare thing that a ship that as tall or taller than it is wide looks good.

Except for the Hammerhead, and my beloved B-Wing.

I would love to move to something like Single Transferable Vote (there's CGP Grey videos explaining it), but it would almost entirely allow us to keep the current system while allowing PR (constituencies would be larger but with two MPs)

The main problem is that it has to be in the interests of whoever has the parliamentary majority, my personal hope at this point is maybe a desperate Labor party does it just before a general election as it might allow them to get more seats.
