Yer point?

[Turnsky]

i hate to pick holes in SW, but how long did the Death star II take to build? i mean it was obviously started after the battle of Yavin, but Damn they musta used a helluva lot of labor to get that thing up to spec in such a short period of time

[Pez]

Taken from Starwars.com:

Death Star: Height: 120 kilometers in diameter

Death Star II: Height: 160 kilometers in diameter

"Within three years of the Death Star's demise, the Galactic Empire again proved its evil nature with the construction of a second Death Star in a remote region of space"

I guess that Darth Vadar are good at "motivating" his men.

[Turnsky]

hmmm... i thought the Deathstar II was a little 'too big'

More to the point why did it take them so long to build the first one? They show them having the specs for it in AotC!

As for Lexx it's got a really weird original storyline and naked girls. What more could you want?

Hey, the Culture! You read Banks? I've got a few of his books. One of my favourite writers.

HEIGHT:  1400 km. This height is significant in that it reflects the length of the Japanese Isles.
 
BUILDER/COMMENTS:  Built by Zentraedi, under Supreme Commander Dolza. This is the version of the Zentraedi Mobile Command Base that appears in the television series.
 
SOURCE:  Robotech/Macross animated television series, image drawn by JR  

yeah, but it's just a station ( a spacedock actually ), and it's completly hollow it seems. no super laser like the deathstar or anything.

[neo_hermes]

that station must have millions of those little laser turrets. i also  belive the station is hollow besides the thousands of ships that are docked inside. *i want one*

That the DSII is at least 600 km in diameter off scale.

[gevatter Lars]

Hey I just saw that the Super Star Destroyer is just 17,6km long...well the Kilrathi Dreadnought is about 22km long....so at last I can show my friend that the Kilrathi build bigger ships then the Empire ^___^

yeah, the DS2 is 160km wide I think.

[Sandwich]

I  think he based his DS2 size off the horizon measurement that people did when the SSD Executor crashed into the DS2 hull - the curvature of the horizon (or lack thereof - I forget) made the supposed 160km diameter waaaay too small IIRC.

Well, the Empire did have the resources of an entire galaxy to draw on.

Does anyone know why the hell Sanathanas is in the website?

[diamondgeezer]

The Sathanas fair enough - check the p1mp the site gets at Slashdot, even they mention FS. But Why not the Colossus?

Because people would point and laugh at the oversized phaser?
