Don't get confused. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something that wasn't being pulled out of someones ass.Master of Ossus wrote:The Trekkie argument that SW weapons seem excessive is the one that really pisses me off. They would be excessive for our warfare, but they are NOT excessive for Star Wars combat. Capital ships NEED firepower in SW at that level in order to effectively fight their enemies. It is too bad that it would be a lot of firepower for us, but it is a perfectly normal level of firepower for SW. Also note that the Acclamator dedicates practically NO internal space to weapons. The ISD does. Too bad, so sad, SW combat requirements are far greater than combat in RL, today. Just as a Roman Legion would probably see thermonuclear weapons as being excessively powerful, we sometimes see SW weapons as being excessively powerful, but they are not by the standards of the day.
I wanted to make sure people weren't thinking "Oh my god! Acclamator has 200GT TL, that means that an ISD has 300 PT LTL!!!!
" You see my point...I hope, and you presented your evidence very well.
