Why is it blurring near the top?

thats where the dudes crappy software is piecing 2 images into one image.... there is no real perfect way to blend panoramic images together, theres always some evidence... its not just at the "top" its all down the side all the way down to the dirt

The guns have a ten light-minute range? That's quite a long ass range.

It still can't hit shit... somehow.

179,875,475 kilometers. That's greater than the distance from the Earth to the Sun by like 30 million kilometers. Whoever wrote that didn't do the math, especially since if I'm 10 light minutes away from you and you try and shoot me with a laser the odds of me being in the same spot 10 minutes later is pretty slim, even if you had some super fancy tracking system.

Just because its maximum range is ten light-minutes doesn't mean they actually use the goddamned thing at that range. Sure, you COULD hit a target at 1000 yards with a handgun, but the odds are really fucking slim. Same with that. You COULD, but you probably wont unless you're a dumbass.

Well, when you are attacking pretty large ships
or immobile objects like space stations or something
on the surface of an planet (like cities, armys etc.), such an maximum range is a great atvantage.

I think you're all forgetting that this is made up bullshit anyways.

Where does it say that the guns "Bullet" doesn't surpass the speed "c", ie who's to say that it's not traveling at 600c / hence reaching its target in 1 second?

/hr/ fails again.

his chest reminds me of something from a long time ago...saw this screensaver that made the screen seem like it was his body and gunshots would sound and bullet holes like that (as if into mercury) would form on the screen. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

If you were to use this in space it would be fucking easy to calculate where something will be in 10 seconds even if it is 10 light seconds away

All you need is it's velocity and distance then you can work out it's last known position, estimate it's current position then add the time for the laser to hit the target so it can be lead by the right amount.

The only problem I can see here is if radioactivity, such as solar wind etc or some such thing caused the laser beam to deflect or scatter.

Jeez, does anon have a brain?

It's "light-minutes" not "light-seconds", and to
avoid a shot that takes ten minutes until it hits
you should be very easy.
But in one case you are right, in the StarWars-
Universe it is possible to travel faster than
light (c), so the lasers could do that to.

First of all, you see it 10 seconds in the past, thus you have to aim 20 seconds ahead.

Second of all it is 10 light minutes away, hence 20 minutes ahead of shot (If shot it traveling at "c".

Third of all, you are quite clearly assuming that the target is moving in a linear path, ie constant velocity in a straight line, that it's not accelerating (Or accelerating at a constant rate), that it has no objects to manuvere around, and that there aren't going to be any objects between you and the target 20 minutes in the future.

And that's all before you take into count deflections. To hit the target, your actual shot would have to be like (Target velocity dependant) as wide as targets Maximum possible distance covered in 20mins as the radius for the circle of your shot.

Hitting something 10 light minutes away is nigh on impossible.

But then, that only goes if the shot traveled in the speed of light. But in the Star Wars-universe things can travel faster than light so therefore your theory doesn´t work.

but in star wars you can see clearly it takes time for the blasts to travel to their destination. It doesn't seem remotely close to c

Yes, light seconds was a typo, but even 10 light minutes would be easy.

The kind of technology they would have to even create something that huge, and a weapon that powerful, I'm pretty sure they would have computers that can easily calculate shit such as velocity, direction, and probabilities of change in direction. And I don't think weapons like this would be used to shoot at things potentially moving at c.

>...it is possible to travel faster than

Wrong. Lasers are light, therefore cannot travel faster than c. So anon spectacularly displays his own ignorance again.

"A Venator-class Star Destroyer´s eight DBY-827 heavu turbolaser turrets are the standart requirement in naval gunnery for intense inner-ship combat and planetary bombardment."

These turrets can fire over ten light-minutes, but that doesnt mean that they fire at other ships ten light-minutes away, more likely is that they only fire that ffar for planetary bombardment, if even that. Just because it can fire over ten light-minutes doesn´t mean it often does.
And Star Wars physics is full of holes so there is really no reason to discuss about it anyway.
