Starwarships: Star Wars doesn’t understand Orbital Bombardments

We'll talk the lore of orbital bombardments in today's Star Wars Lore video!




Because the other side shot back?
 
Sometimes I have to go out of my way to find them.


Size inflation is an issue, as I recall the original concept for the Star Destroyer was a two man fighter.

Indications from Fifth Frontier War are that Mongoose will introduce (super) dreadnoughts, or may be just the Tigress equivalents from other factions.

I hope it's not done for the Solomani Confederation, since it's not that I think they couldn't do it, it more they think it's a waste of time and resources; because, you still need to have the infrastructure to build, maintain, and repair them.

the inertial dampeners will be able to

repeatedly so taxed in too short of a

process usually does not happen all at

failures that calls for the very

expensive replacement of the burnt out

units inertial dampeners can be used as

steady state dpcs but for a finite

amount of time in warships this is
3:36
almost always used during High Burns to

Spaceships: Accommodations and Twenty Foot Container


The dimensions of a 20-foot container are:

Exterior Dimensions (in feet): 20’ long x 8’ wide x 8’ 6” high
Exterior Dimensions (in meters): 6.10m long x 2.44m wide x 2.59m high
Interior Dimensions (in feet): 19’ 4” long x 7’ 9” wide x 7’ 10” high
Internal Dimensions (in meters): 5.898m long x 2.352m wide x 2.393m high
Usable Capacity: 32.6m3


Divided by fourteen and a half, 2.248275862068966 tonnes.

So, let's be generous, and say two and a quarter tonnes cargo capacity.

Exterior volume 38.54956 cubic metres, or 2.658590344827586 tonnes.

Going by Vehicles, a twenty foot container would need to quadruple it's tonnage to ascertain spaces, which would be 10.63436137931034 spaces. Then half that to figure out shipping volume, 5.317180689655172 tonnes.

Spaceships: Accommodations and Twenty Foot Container


A 20-foot container’s unloaded weight is 2,300 kg and can, in theory, be loaded to a maximum weight of 28 tons (25,400kg). However, this would depend in large part on possible restrictions and/or limitations of the shipping line, the nature of the cargo and specific details of the shipment.


In terms of Euro pallet types (European pallets) of which dimensions are 1.2m x 0.8m, the base of the 20-foot container can hold up to 11 Euro pallet stacks as long as the load is not hanging over the sides. Generally, the optimal way of fitting pallets inside the container is with one row along the length and another row along the width.


For the standard American pallet type with dimensions 40” x 48” (1.016m x 1.219m), the base of a standard 20-foot container can hold 10 pallets as long as the load is not hanging over the sides.

Reverse engineering Vehicles spaces, minimum thirty tonnes allows halving of shipping volume, basically one hundred twenty spaces.

One hundred twenty spaces is thirty tonnes.

Therefore, it would seem the standard spacecraft container would start out at thirty tonnes.

Internal Dimensions (in meters): 12.025m long x 2.352m wide x 2.393m high

Sort of five to one to one.

Thirty over seven is 4.285714285714286.

Length 0.165 metres / 1.35356849876948%.

Width 0.088 metres / 3.60655737704918%.

Height 0.197 metres / 7.60617760617761%.


Basically, structural strength based on thickness of walls.

Steel is cheap, essentially, weight doesn't matter, since it would be half in space, and gravity based transportation and infrastructure would be orientated around it.

If there's something cheaper and easily available as steel, could be an alternative.

1 cubic meter weights 7,850 kg. The fair market price for low carbon steel is lets say .45 a pound or .99 cents per kg.
Okay, that would fourteen and a half kilobux per fourteen and a half cubic metres, compared to fifty kilostarbux per tonne for titanium steel.

Spaceships: Accommodations and Thirty Tonne Container

1. The question would be, is the thirty tonne container the analogue to the twenty or forty foot container?

2. If the former, volume remains the same, but length gets halved in five times two times two proportions.

3. Then there's hull configuration.

4. Could be classic rectangle, might be more cubical, or possibly be hexagonal.

5. If there's a forty foot container equivalent, it would be double in length, in the Lego tradition.

6. High Guard lists cargo cranes having a sixty five tonne capacity.

7. So, thirty and sixty tonne containers as standard seems plausible.

8. I'm sure cranes can be customized for a larger sized load, if necessary.

9. In this case, the container differs from a thirty tonne module, in the sense that the module is integrated in the hull, and thereby, spacecraft.
 
Spaceships: Accommodations and Thirty Tonne Container

8. I'm sure cranes can be customized for a larger sized load, if necessary.
I would go with the opposite. Cranes are built for X (largest) size and can be modified to work with smaller containers.
 
There probably are larger loads to sling about, and I'm thinking about spacecraft in the hangars.

It's quite possible, that sixty tonnes is considered the viable limit for a conventional container, to be cargoed internally.

A kilotonne would almost certainly be carried externally, and would be spacecraft grade steel and likely have life support, in the sense that non living cargo has climate control and conditions for non spoilage.

Which leaves us with the sixty to kilotonne range in the upper midrange, and below thirty tonnes in the low range.

Considering that we do have default two and ten tonne manipulators, that could be standard for the low end.
 
If we make the standard ten tonne container a square, we could make the thirty tonne proportionally three times one times one, and the sixty tonne container six times one times one, slightly longer than the current norm.

Problem, of course, is that going by Vehicles, any item below thirty tonnes requires double shipping volume.

We could cheat by bundling three ten tonne containers together.

Which leaves us with the two tonner, which could be approximately one by quarter by quarter, which would fit four in the space of a ten tonne square.

Which means that our common twenty footer would be a tad shorter and more cramped, but might be transported by modified pick up trucks.
