[QUOTE]Originally posted by Frankenerd: [QB] Has anybody else noticed that the ISD's design is more than a little retarded? 1. None of the main battery can fire into the ventral hemisphere. 2. Only 50% of the main battery can fire broadside into each of the 45-135 and 225-315 degree arcs? 3. Only 25% of the main battery can fire directly forward. 4. Only 12.5% can fire to either 30 degree arc to the side of directly forward. 5. No main battery weapons seem to be able to fire aft in the horisontal elivation. The very small number of secondary battery weapons is located midway down each side and at a notch in the trench limeting angles of fire dramaticly. 6. The films only show two of the box like turret mounts on the ventral surface of the ship. 7. As far as I know, The various novels do not have any weapons that can shoot into the subtended arc behind the ship. Certainly none are shown in any of the films, even when shuch would be eminately desirable. 8. The "bridge" structure and "superstructure" on top greatly increase the probability to hit ISD type ships. 9. The shield domes are only on top of the ship. What protects the bottom/ventral hemisphere? 10. The sensor/scanner systems lack resolution in angle, range, velocity and rate of change in all of those arias. There were six or seven ships with in two dozen miles of the MF when it ducked behind the Bridge Tower and they all missed it's maneuver and subsequent stop. Current Earth bound sensors have resolutions that would preclude any such maneuver from succedding! 11. Fire controle is so bad that the shots fired/hits ratio is on a parr with WW-I scores. WW-II factors are several times better than anything shown in any of the movies. 12. MV-Projectile speed is less than Cival war values. There is no cannon evidence of Light speed beams from any ship but the Death Star. The above makes me wonder about the skill and knowledge of the writers and SFX crew. Does anyone else out there think this is strange? [/QB][/QUOTE]
