one direct hit and boom boom

QE doesn't have one

and it's not small

WW2 era BBs didn't have them either

QE?

Queen Elizabeth class

the new british CVs

ww2 era ships are shit compared to even modern frigates tbh

Most nations don’t have real navy so bb is pointless

^

@atomic Death Troopers are basically the closest thing in canon to the Terminator tbh

terminators arent mechs tho

theyre just yuge power armour

Death Troopers aren't

I didn't say they were

centurions also arent mechs

But regardless, the idea is the same in battletech

Death Troopers are basically cyborgs reeeeeee

theyre just a space marine *inside* of a space marine

You have 'mechs around because they are big and hit harder than anything in their relative price range

the logic in battle tech is retardedly contrived

>constant war

death troopers can say the n word

strongest troopers in the empire

>lets not build space stations to defend our planets

Space Space Marine

>lets not build fleets to intercept our enemies

They do make space stations

There actually were some plans to make BBs in the 50s, but the striking capability of CVs was just so much higher, that they scrapped it

It's just that a space station is easy to bypass

The fanboy competition over yet? Who won?

nobody

no one

No won

EEC ran away

but anime sucks

lol

And a lot of space stations is expensive and vulnerable

Then build ships

That's right you're all losers <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

which universe are we talking?

You could probably make the case for a Gundam being comparable in power to like a regular Frigate in SW <:BIGBRAIN:501101491428392991>

Those can’t outrun cruisers surly

They also do build fleets but the issue is that the hyperdrives are so expensive that for most of the timeline it's not really affordable

@Goddess Tyche if youre on this server by definition youre a loser

And the manufacturing yards for the drives are not at all common

thats another thing

40k has the same problem

the concept of losing shit tons of knowledge

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

is absolutely retardedly contrived

i dunno if star wars does it too

They do

@Lucienne d'Anwyl ye kinda

but theyre acting as if knowledge would completely dissapear off the face of the world

ships is SW haven't really advanced much

if some cataclysm happened

but it wouldnt

in 1000s of years

it would

for whatever reason

Star Wars has a like 5 planets that build all the ships

Knowledge doesn't disappear in Btech

think Alexandria library

the most they've advanced is in like...weaponry

shitton of knowledge disappeared right there

@leavethisbotnet nothing was lost in the alexandria library

they went from Atomic weapons to Anti-Matter ones to Lasers and shit

ComStar just decides to hoard it

@leavethisbotnet that was in ancient times

youre acting like it was the only library in existence

@Flavius Stilicho 5 heavily guarded planets, mind you

by the time of its misfortunes it wasnt even that big a deal

rome had shit tons of libraries

it took the Rebels months to take over the Empire's main shipyard

alexandria didnt hoard its stuff you know

stuff gets copied by scribes

and they only won because the Empire pussied out and surrended

put in new libraries

all around the mediterranean

even tho they could have easily waited out the Rebels

and the Empire was doing pretty good, too

decentralized storing means virtually nothing is lost when any one library burns

Kuat was REALLY armored

B-Wing bombers didn't do shit to the armor

and the alexandrian library took multiple hits as well

it wasnt one single sdden destruction

yeah, of course. It's more of a breaking point
Point is, lot of knowledge of history was lost

and then they used AT-ATs against starfighters

barely any knowledge of history was lost

through all of the middle ages

and goddamn, they stomped the rebels hard

You can't know that

barely anything was lost

because it's fucking lost

even if people didnt entertain it

the roman empire

which lived through the middle ages

kept pretty much everything in tact
