    BTW: Heat and Vacuum don't mix well. Its extremely difficult to disperse heat in deep space because you have no natural convection of any kind. Vacuum is an allmost perfect insulator (that's how a good Thermos works). The only way is by radiation. Those big as panels on the ISS? About half of them are Radiators for radiating heat in form of infra-red "light" to cool the station. Otherwise the astronauts would cook to death.
    So, "leaving spaces open for cooling" isn't a viable solution to waste heat. (Thats why I always liked to think, that the TIE-Fighter Panels were large Radiators to disperse heat, or that the S-foils of X-Wing open in attack mode to generate more space to radiate the weapons waste heat)

      Yeah those are some really good points

    • @PaiSAMSEN
      @PaiSAMSEN 5 ปีที่แล้ว +26

      On the other hand, I believe it's also possible that those open space were made so that the major portion of waste heat from weapon bolt will simply radiate away into space. If the gun was fully enclosed, any part of weapon energy that was generated but didn't leave the end of the barrel will heat up the gun, and the ship. For a weapon of such magnitude, it going to be a big problem, much more so than conventional turbolaser, and potentially much more than a ship that size can manage properly. (Probably the reason why Death Star was so ridiculously big. Most of its volume probably dedicated to heat management system) Leaving the gun barrel open, with only some galvenning (seriously?) ring and something to energized and direct the bolt, would allow a large amount of those wasted energy to radiated directly into space, without heating up the hull, and leaving whatever space-magic heat management system on the ship with acceptable level of heat that it can manage away safely.

    • @bobs1422
      @bobs1422 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@PaiSAMSEN True: An open "barrel" would be better than a closed one. But not by much. It's all about surface area. Each radiation panel of the ISS is a few times the surface of the complete station. So just leaving the "barrel" open wouldn't be enough (I also think the interior is quite sparse on this model). Thats why I allways likes the idea of the TIE-fighters panels being radiators. The surface is so big compared the the rest of the fighter (also: solar panels don't make much sense if you are not in spitting distance of a star. In our solar system they aren't even an option if you want to go farther than Mars) What would be a great idea is some kind of grebeling around that "barrel" which looked like it was supposed to maximise surface. Exposing that to space instead of enclosing it in armour would make sense and give the design some credibility.

    • @GandaMelgao
      @GandaMelgao 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, but you're talking about the real world. In the Star Wars Universe, heat is not a problem. That's the advantage of science-fiction. There are so many things scientifically wrong in Star Wars. But movies are made for fun, not to portray reality. So I simply enjoy them, without over thinking.

      I guess on Earth all we have is continents so weapons that can wipe out cities at a time or multiple cities is classed as a super weapon scale wise. But when you have an entire galaxy of planets, nuclear bombs don't really seem that super any more. When you then start talking about a weapon that can destroy an entire planet, that is a super weapon. And I'm sure beyond that could be a universe dominating race that has weapons that could destroy entire galaxies, so a planet destroying weapon would be a like bringing a BB gun to a nuclear bomb fight. It's all about the scale you are comparing it to.

    So we have an Imperial ship that’s
    A) Practically designed with clear logic behind each design choice
    B) Under 1000 meters long
    C) Is very powerful without being completely broken
    D) Can be made in fairly large numbers
    E) Fills a role that was unfilled in the era until now
    F) Has minimal design issues, most can be explained by the vessel being meant for super-long range engagements/at the back of formations.
    G) Looks awesome.
    17/10. Would captain.
    So the “galvaning” here is kind of like a magnetic containment field… that would actually explain a lot, especially why there are two kinds of combat shields in Star Wars. With plasma based weapons the main drawback with them is that the technology needed to create a containment field could also be used in an upscaled version to break the containment field of incoming fire. Ray shields to break containment fields and Particle shields closer in to absorb any high velocity particles hitting over a much larger area which would reduce the ability of the particles to punch through.
    “Blow deep through solid rock”
    Oh I’ve got to get a copy of that data, that’s going to be so much fun to calculate the yield.

    This thing is effectively artillery, and without good targeting data it won't hit enemy ships very well, as for bases once you figure out that this thing exists you'll stop putting permanent bases on planets and rely on more mobile bases either in space or on different parts of the planet. It does look like it could be effective if used in conjunction with other ships in a larger battle but it is a big target.

    I like the idea of seeing a ship that is a precursor to the Mandator IV Dreadnought that the First Order used. It can be argued that the Onager introduced the super gun but the ship had to aim itself to fire it. The Mandator put them on a turret to solve it. The only catch was with this powerful Onager, is why did it not show up at Hoth? Introducing such a ship is awesome but Hoth would have been blown to pieces by this thing even with a shield and ion cannon to protect it.

  • @casbot71
    @casbot71 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If the cannons need to radiate heat, a solution to the open design would be *radiator panels* arranged along the surface of the ship.
    Yes they could still be taken out by fighters, but that wouldn't cause the kieber to detonate, it would just limit the full power that could be used for subsequent shots. And not even that if it was overengineered with extra panels.
    Then you would need the level of plot armour of Luke or Han to fire straight down the barrel while dodging incoming shots, and if you stick a bunch of laser cannons on the front wings of the T section to deal with that, then it becomes TESB.
    The reason the hangers open to the back may be to protect them from the radiation ect of the cannon firing. As well, you don't want to launch forward and break towards the centerline of the ship.
    After all the _noise in space_ of them firing would be deafening to nearby pilots.

    In the fantasyflightgames website it read
    Onager-class Star Destroyer Expansion Pack
    The Onager-class Star Destroyer is a specialized platform for some of the Empire’s most dangerous weaponry. The arrival of its ominous silhouette in orbit heralds a bombardment by massive particle cannons, or, more rarely, a devastating pulse from superheavy composite beam turbolasers. Its deployment in more sensitive Imperial operations can be neither confirmed nor denied.
    It only has one superheavy composite beam turbolasers. So I the picture that has the two meanings must of being massive particle cannons, that he one talk about but is right there

    The Onnager is what the Xyston should have been. It looks cool, it's no a reheash of an existing design though clearly inspired by the Imperial arrowhead aesthetic, and it serves the superweapon function perfect for a secretive Sith fleet project. For that matter, the Onnager is what the Eclipse needs to be in canon, not the Legends Dark Empire crap we got.

      Its also the name of a large scale siege catapult used by the Romans, which was so named because the action of the weapon shooting looked like a donkey kicking.

      maxilos1987 the FO Dreadnaught would have actually been fearsome had it had a more sleek and volumetric in design. The ship was so massive but had only 36 Heavy Turbolasers ! The Providence class Dreadnaught which was almost 3x smaller had more individual firepower than that ! And the fact that all the guns were mounted on the top of the bigger stale flying metal dorito still perplexes me to this day. Like what happened to coverage of enemy attack paths for the (nonexistent) turbolasers and laser cannons ? This ship is a deadass mess and deserves to be seriously remodeled and upgrades with hundreds of heavy cruise missiles, turbolasers, and laser cannons. After all that, the Resistance and literally no one would stand a chance against a Mandatory-IV. Hell, if it got way more (well placed) turbolasers (light to heavy) then it'd actually pose a real threat to a surviving Executor or The Eclipse if it still exits. Honestly believe the Eclipse is the center frame of The Supremacy.

      also why werent the surface cannons armoured with the same plating that the hull was, the first officer to captain kannedy stated the X-wings weapons couldnt penetrate the armour so why leave such obvious weaknesses.

    • @offdutyspartan

      Enemy fighters wouldn't come from a airfield, they would most likely fly in by themselves like you see in Rogue One and the original trilogy, they could also be deployed from other ships, or perhaps a space dock/station. Again, they could aim for such things but the rebels would usually have their fighters scrambled far before they could be blown out of wherever they were docked/stationed.
