Like there are plenty of reasons to dislike The Last Jedi ( of the not racist or sexist variety ) but that scene isn't one of them. It would have been nice for someone new to the Resisrance saying "why did we not do this for Star Killer???" and being told "because it was too big and even if all the ships did a run it wouldn't have destroyed it" but that would have needed to acknowlege that The Force Awakens existed outside of just Luke and Rey's scenes.

Star Wars spaceship battles are so clearly World War II in space (dogfights, battleships, human crews running around the deck) that asking questions like "why don't they just make drones that can launch hyperspace nukes without requiring suicide bombers" is a dangerous path because then you'll quickly make it not Star Wars

I think it still fits into a WW2-esque analogue because it's like asking why the big battle ships don't just ram into the aircraft carriers to sink them every time?

I think it just started because she wanted to comment on somebody saying it was the best scene of the new trilogy regardless of what you thought of any of the movies. I'd agree. When it happened you could hear a pin drop in the theater, just really striking. I know at least one other goon had that experience. And yeah, she was just joining in to point out that even in canon of The Last Jedi there were hints and explanations that made it make "enough" sense as a one-off thing anyway, so nerds being nerds about it is annoying. Star Wars combat and most Sci-Fi combat is locked into air or navy rules and unless you're ready to commit to full on sci-fi it's best to take it as it is. I remember some random interactive novel/CYOA game that made the rounds a few years back did a big thing about "semi-realistic" space combat. Where it was 2 ships doing a bunch of tiny maneuvers at vast distances while traveling at near the speed of light with "combat" only lasting for about 3 seconds as they slow down and pass one another and the computers handled all the actual aiming based on firing solutions they spent hours plugging in. Which wouldn't be fun to actually watch, even though it was okay to read. There's some old literature joke about how a big question of Hamlet is why he didn't just kill his uncle when he thought about it at the first big dinner scene. Was it cowardice? Uncertainty? A symbolic argument about impotence metaphorically? Literally? Or, you know...it was the first act and it wouldn't be much of a play if he did it then  .

Arbite posted:All it needed an overdub of someone yelling from offscreen "The interdiction field is down." This did just make me remember that they used Rogue One to pointlessly retcon the Death Star exhaust port as an intentional glowing weak point, because I was going to make a joke about it. Same thing where it's taking the idea of "hit the powder keg/ammo dump" from old naval combat and applying it to a giant spaceship.

Parakeet vs. Phone posted:
Elite 2: Frontier (or whichever way around the colon went) had this sort of combat because it had in-system travel at semi realistic speeds with ships having to speed up and slow down at reasonable speeds (I think the fastest ones could accelerate at like 30G, with the big freighters being more like 5/6G). This was coupled with a time acceleration feature so you didn't get utterly bored spending literal days or weeks driving from the jump point to the nearest station. Combat consisted of you getting an alert that there was an enemy incoming, turning the autopilot off to point your nose at them, waiting for them to get into range and firing for like two seconds before they then shot off into your rear view and turned around to start firing their engines to try and turn around to catch up with you again. It meant combat was extremely brief and also boring as hell. In fact if you had a ship with turrets you could pause the game, line up the turret, hold down the fire button and unpause to get guaranteed hits. No I don't know why the turrets were allowed to move and fire while paused.

Fairly timely since April Fools Day just passed and that's 'Haha, what if we made a visual novel version of our game as a joke' gaming prime time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVjd0Xa-feE And something that counts as actual news if podcast clips are dumb https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZTdh-sKd5s
