thats right! artificial gravity! Well then i guess the only problem they would really have is one hell of a rainstorm after they fire the superlaser.

No, the Death Star is big enough (size of a small moon) that it would have a significant natural gravity field. In any case, it would be very silly to extend artificial gravity fields beyond the hull surface, unless you had some specific reason for doing so.

To extend the gravity field would hamper your fighters speed and manuverability by forcing them to fight gravity and the enemy at the same time.

once again, despite my best efforts, good sarcasm and wit is wasted.

actually, it would be quite interesting if they extended the srtificial gravity outward after the effect of the genesis device. they might actually maintain an ecosystem on the outer hull.... they'd never need to stop for shore leave or supplies because they have a planet on the hull.

Keep in mind, though, that the Death Star, for all its size and bulk, is mostly hollow. Corridors and hangars and energy conduits, I'd say it is between 20 and 30% empty.

I don't know if anyone knows what its mass is.

Well, there are no actual excats on the DS that I know of, but it would probably be like the large asteroid that Han hid in in TESB.
