Talk:Death Star

Incorrect capitalisation is irritating. Where does 'HyperMatter' come from? :) It seems the consensus is that the different-looking station in ROTS isn't the DS1, also. --Stark 17:45, 7 November 2007 (EST)

It's the Confederacy's "Great Weapon" not the DS that is seen at the end of ROTS. http://www.theforce.net/swtc/ds/ruction.html#cgw --Wild Karrde 22:51, 7 November 2007

• Can someone with the required EU knowledge edit the DS1 history section? With the Maw and all the prototypes etc there's a pretty good timeline, but I don't know what it is. And SAX, seriously, if you don't know what you're talking about, stop posting. The thing in ROTS wasn't the DS1, get over it. --Stark 18:48, 7 November 2007 (EST)
• Duly Noted. --BountyHunterSAx
  • There's heaps of articles I'd like to put shit in, but I don't know enough (like this one, with the EU and Tarkins Eye and all that shit). :) Someone'll fill in the gaps later. --Stark 18:55, 7 November 2007 (EST)
• If we look at the DS1 compared to the DS2 in terms of volume, the DS2 is roughly 177 times larger than the DS1. I don't know where this "twice the size" shit came from. Even the diameter is around 5 and a half times larger. Also, it didn't take the Empire 20 years to make the DS1, they had a lot of prototypes and research completed in that 20 years, so maybe we should change that. -- Lord Relvenous
  • You're absolutely right, that section is legacy from SaX's wookie-ransacking. Be my guest if you want to re-write it. --Stark 05:24, 9 November 2007 (EST)
• rewrote the entry on the first Death Star. I used the Star Wars Databank as my main source. I don't really have time to write the entry on the DSII. I'll go back later and add sources and the rest of the entry. --Lord Relvenous
  • After looking at what I wrote, and the way the page is constructed, I think we could probably split this page into two, one for the Death Star, and another for the Death Star II --Lord Relvenous

Gravitaitonal Binding Energy and You

Um, isn't the gravitational binding energy of a planet exactly the energy needed to move the planet bits at such speed to "ensure the pieces go far apart enough that they do not coalesce again"? --Wyrm 21:42, 9 November 2007 (EST)

• went ahead and did it, and expanded the Calculations section --Wyrm
