Further Hyperspace isn't going really fast but instead is moving in another dimension which means weird movement in the lower dimensions.

I made this thread as I was watch the Last Jedi, I did not expect for my request to literally happen in the last 60 minutes, too bad it took them that long to figure out

>gravity wells

is this still canon?

>>9564

Well they do have Star Destroyers with Gravity Wells built in in Rebels so yeah.

Because it's a useless tactic most of the time, waste of ships. Also that would work only in deep space, away from natural gravity wells. Also shields .

Well there was that one Commander Sato that did in Rebels.

>>9588

Isn't that what the CIS did? They also had those little buzz droids that just latched onto enemy ships and fucked them at the cost of their own pitiful selves.

Thrawn also did something similar with those mole miners at Sluis Van. You can't really make hyperspace missiles outside of nuCanon, though. As other anons have pointed out, mass shadows prevent jumps to hyperspace, and the majority of space battles happen in or near enough a star system to prevent jumping. It's also not entirely clear how objects in hyperspace interact with objects in realspace. Large enough mass shadows will pull hyperspace objects back into realspace, but it's unclear if you can physically collide with a smaller mass shadow within hyperspace. I've generally assumed that you can't.

Excuse me… but what was the Galaxy Gun?

>Hyperspace collisions, whether they be intentional or by accident, could devastate or even destroy a planet. Considering the fact that the output of the reactors of many Capital ships rivaled or eclipsed that of a star, and that the energies needed to make hyperspace travel possible were vast, one could unleash a great deal of destructive power on a target. Even if a planet had its planetary shielding up at the time of a hyperspace collision, it could still have the potential to kill millions on a world such as Coruscant just due to the fallout.[4] One of the more famous hyperspace accidents occurred during the Clone Wars, when the battlecruiser Quaestor collided with the Separatist planet Pammant, fracturing it to its core.[5]

That kind of shit is dangerous. Some EU sources said light speed bombing could devastate fleets or planets, which is why everyone prefers to take the pre-made hs routes.

>>9602

This.

I think that the solution is simple about why it's not an S.O.P. - Given the talk of how devastating it can be it should simply be considered a warcrime to use hyperspace weapons or suicide attacks, the sort of thing only the most vile and desperate scum would ever consider.

>>9602

Unlike Disney's shit, the implication is it's a core problem, not hyperspace travel itself. Have a capital ship ram the ground and blow up will destroy a planet pretty good. Doesn't turn every X-Wing into a WMD because smaller reactor=smaller boom.

>>9711

Problem with that is the Empire casually commits war crimes. What's the point of a Death Star if a warship can do it?

>>9713

The point of a Death Star is that it's not in any treaties to not have a massive planet-killing super-laser battlestation while it is in the treaties to not FTL-kamikaze planets to rubble, it's all in the technicalities.

>treaties

With who? Empire rules all known space outside of the unknown regions and wild space, neither of which is unified and capable of making treaties. Hutt space isn't all that controlled, and might have some old treaties from when it was independent that are, technically, still in force but they wouldn't apply to anyone else. GFFA and the GCW isn't like the Universal Century's One Year War where the two sides on the civil war signed a treaty banning WMDs after a horrific opening volley.
