So it can be like Pearl Harbour and that day of infamy whatever and then we can have space submarines!!!!

Jawohl Herr Kaleun!

EDIT: On a more serious note... I am praying to the gods of gaming that Chris Roberts auteur will include a tense, sweat dripping Das Boot style moment in Squadron 54 - perhaps a Vanduul warrior tapping his ignition key/lance on the hull of a space submarine listening for echoes... maybe a space bomber dropping space mines on a space ship 1200 metres below them in space, and the booming sound of their explosions permeating through the void and causing some of the erm hang on coolant pipes to burst and piss coolant all over the bridge of the space ship... or even how about a narrow channel in space which the hero has to guide his space ship through without being detected by space ASDIC?

So much fertile ground here for Crobblers to work his cinematic flair on.

But it has to be the right shade of red. If you gently caress this up I'm going to have you have to rebuild it all.

Also know what else is awesome?

All those movie scenes where the guys are all around the mess hall talking and that one cool girl walks in and the guys are like "omg who is that!!!" And the comical guy drops his fork and it slowly spins to the ground and hits the tight laces of his boots.

We better get a few more artstation people so they can start working on this mess hall scene. And I will flip out if somebody is just doing some canned animation. I want food to be eaten for real and I want the background people to take care of their trays.

And then in one scene some dude can die and they can have that main character person stare out the windows into the inky blackness of space. Can we have him smoke? Is smoking cool still??????

Do I have to think of everything around here?!!???

Eh, the ship is so big that whatever generates its gravity may actually have it take effect in space for a radius. I can kind of see it in that specific case. I mean why would gravity end right at the big rear end ship's hull?

Just had an awesome idea. Got to get some actors on the phone for this.

But picture this. Two ships, each flying in the same direction, dropping bombs on each other. And it works because it's space.

The bombs some tug it each other in the middle but sometimes one gets through to the other ship and you see it rock and shake. The camera swings from one side to the other and it's like a mirror. One side has a zesty purple nebula around it and the other has a red nebula because they are the bad guys.

Now we go inside the ship inside the mess hall, where a janitor is trying to pick up all the trays everywhere. And a guy is there with some jackets on and tying the laces tight on his combat boots.

He looks at Mark Hamill and Mark says "Stay frosty out there."

Ohhhh jessseeee gently caress.... I think I'm having an orgasm here this is too much!!!!!!!!

Do we have the Hollywood location yet??!??? I can't build this game over night but we can start with the business!!!

Also somebody start setting up a few dozen paper companies in the Caymans and other parts of the world because we've got to funnel this money we're gonna be rolling in through something and by the heavens I deserve everything I can get.

I'll also expect backpay for the years I've been posting here with all my ideas too so this is gonna start getting expensive.

I think I want the purple Porsche too.

Yes since the ships have artificial gravity in Star Wars a ship dropping a bomb out of an opening would indeed fall. Anyone who has a problem with the bombers in TLJ from a realism standpoint is either a redditor looking for things to complain about or hasn't watched any other star wars movie.

If you're complaining about realism in Star Wars you kind of are looking for something to complain about.
