SW ships have that ability as well, it's just that the navicomputer won't allow it for safety reasons and must be overridden.

1. Star Wars has those.

2.In Dark Empire Han has the Falcon jump to hyperspace while still in Byss's upper atmosphere to escape before being trapped under the planetary sheild. It may not be nice to any ship that tries it but it still shows it can be done.

Also IIRC, the Bothans or Hapans came up with a device that defeats a gravity well to allow hyperspace inside of one (not sure on this one though).

I fail to see how you arrived at this conclusion. Especially since the Empire conquered most of the galaxy.

it's a small price to pay for being able to travel over a hundred million times c. Compared to warp which is limited to several thousand c at the very most.

Top ten reasons why the empuire is to stupid to suvive.

1) the empire locked the Grand admirals in the quarters while DS2 was under attack
2)The first death starnever raised its schilds.
3)All there systems can be hacked by a r2 unit.
4)There bridges have a nice clear viewport to shoot offciers though.
5)they made a deal with the ssi-ruuk
6)They didn't blow up mon-cal, they bew up alldrean.
7)They don't know when to quit.
8)They lost to the rebels, after haveing the enitre galaxy.
9) the empire is run by a guy that wasn't even a captain at endor...
10)they let Incom defect.

Hows that?

You don't get it, do you? There's a REASON the navicomputer overrides gravwelljumping: it's hell on the hyperdrive. In the Thrawn trilogy, Luke burned out his hyperdrive because he jumped from inside an interdiction field.

It CAN be done, but it's dangerous.

The Thrawn Trilogy disproves this notion. Karrde's ship made an emergency jump seconds after emerging from hyperspace when they ran into the Katana Fleet (Dark Force Rising).

No, in the tran triogly, luke jumped just as he left, he did a spin on the stop manover which burn out his hyperdrve.
READ THE BOOK...
Even Thrawn says what happened quite clearly...

R2 didn't HACK the Death Star. He accessed a information that was fully available to the men in the control station.
4)There bridges have a nice clear viewport to shoot offciers though.
Transparisteel can resist a blast from SW-level firepower (ref: Wraith Squadron) and you'll still have to down the shields first.
5)they made a deal with the ssi-ruuk
So?
6)They didn't blow up mon-cal, they bew up alldrean.
Alderaan was a warm-up. After taking Yavin 4, the DS would've gone on to other Rebel planets, like MonCal.
7)They don't know when to quit.
WTF?
8)They lost to the rebels, after haveing the enitre galaxy.
Wow, by your logic, everyone who loses is stupid. :roll:
9) the empire is run by a guy that wasn't even a captain at endor...
Which of course means that he could never rise higher in the ranks. :roll:
10)they let Incom defect.
They didn't let the WHOLE COMPANY defect, you imbecile! A few members of the X-wing design team did so! How the hell did Incom make the Raptor and the Howlrunner for the Empire if they defected?
Hows that?

Pathetic.

It conquered most of the galaxy. It would have survived had it not been for the Jedi.

Evidence?
The Admiral wrote:2)The first death starnever raised its schilds.
Wasting power raising shields against a couple of squadrons of starfighters is not stupid. It is, rather, arrogant.
The Admiral wrote:3)All there systems can be hacked by a r2 unit.
R2 hacked the GARBAGE CONTROL SYSTEMS.

Only after the bridge deflectors are knocked out and a fluke caused Crynyd's A-Wing to crash into it.

You know jack shit about Star Wars. The Mon Calamari were NOT in the Rebel Alliance during the time of A New Hope.
The Admiral wrote:7)They don't know when to quit.
Yeah, they only conquered most of the galaxy.
The Admiral wrote:8)They lost to the rebels, after haveing the enitre galaxy.
They lost to the Rebels AND the Jedi. If Luke was not there the Rebellion would have died. Did you NOT realize the MAJOR influencing role that the Force plays in the trilogy?
The Admiral wrote:9) the empire is run by a guy that wasn't even a captain at endor...
False. Pellaeon led the FLEET, not the Government.

1)OVERSIGHT, he loked up 8 of his best cmmanders in a station because?
2)One man, More like the entire death star crew, even though they new there was a weekness.
3)R2 has hacked more than that, read the books man...
4)But not concussion missles, as has happned many times.
5)And it lost them a planet.
6) Why not warm up on a ood target, as opposed to a peace loving world with no reason?

1. :?:

2. It was in no danger from the rebel fighters with shields down and it never would have been if a fucking force user hadn't taking the killer shot. Not to mention the only reason Luke was able to take the shot was because Han had a change of heart at the last second.

3. R2 was only able to bring up a map and shut down an unimportant system (trash compactor). How the fuck does that equate to "All there systems can be hacked by a r2 unit"?

4. How the fuck are you going to shoot through sheilds, huh? Beides all Imperial ships have backup bridges and control of ship systems doesn't rely on bridge control like Fed ships do.

5. So? the Ssi-Ruk posed no threat.

6. Did you even watch the Movie? the DSI was on it's way to Yavin to blow up the main rebel base, Killing several key rebels and stopping the rebellion right there. Besides the DSII's first target was going to be Mon Cal anyway.

7. Proof?

8. Only due to the rebels being unaturally lucky and Palpatine foucusing a little to much on Skywalker.

9. WTF. the Empire is run by the Emperor.:roll:

10. No a handful of designers defected before they could do anything.

2. Tarkin was in control of the station. Cross the Grand Moff at your own peril.
3)R2 has hacked more than that, read the books man...
:roll: Wow, your argument boils down to "Someone somehwere can hack the system! It must be pathetic!"
4)But not concussion missles, as has happned many times.
In that case, ST bridges are also stupid, since the RELIANT managed to blast the Ent's bridge pretty thouroghly.
5)And it lost them a planet.
As you are so fond of saying, read the book. The Ssi-ruuk attacked Bakura because the Empire backed out of the deal, not because they made a deal.
6) Why not warm up on a ood target, as opposed to a peace loving world with no reason?
It was symbolic. What makes a better show, blowing up an influential core world or a planet way out on the Outer Rim?
7) Have you ever heard of peace treatys...
Yeah. Your POINT?
8. Did you heere how small the rebels used to be?[.quote]

Did you hear that the Rebels were producing fleets of their own?
9) But what happened to all the captain ect? Humm?
Oh, OF COURSE all previous Captains must die for someone to be made a Captain. What are you, braindead?
10) So why didn't they make X-wings, which kick ties?
1. The defectors took the plans with them.

2. The Empire already had contracts with Sienar Fleet Systems for the TIE fighter.

3) No r2! Haced things, like the WAYLAND comps... You know GA Thrawns most inportant base, in how long? 10 seconds?
4) I know ST bridges are stupid... That isn't what my post is about...
5) But if instad of makeing a deal they attacked the ssi-ruuk
6) MOn_CAl is a infuential core world...
7) Ie, when you lose... Give up?
8) But not as big as the imprail navy.. Just assult there ship yards like mon cal...
9) But prevoius captains, get promted to admirals... and have to promet Pelleaon...and have more exprience...
10) Contracts? this is war... You know you ditch the contract and steal he better fighter?
