Ender, While pressure increases may be a concern, I doubt the thermal increases would be a factor. Their shields should be sufficient to protect them from those energy levels without any problems. Fine. We're talking well over 2,500`F _if_ they adopt a skip glide reentry like the Shuttle. If they go...

Phongn, I think we've actually seen exoatmospheric operations conducted with the LAATs (the "Hind-lookalike" gunships). You're discounting Star Wars material science a bit: with their available thrust, antigravity systems and extreme thermal resistance, re-entry just isn't a problem for th...

But naval battles...... Its as if one argues that since the Tarawa carries Harriers and other forces on board, indeed, it has more planes than the British Invicinbles, they should be acting as fleet carriers instead of the more powerful Nimitz. During OEF, the KHawk had to be converted because none...
