Death Star Costs more than 800 000 years steel production. - Polidicks

[QUOTE=NO ONE;34850512]And to think Some goddamn Jedis had blown it up....how careless.[/QUOTE] [i]Breaking News - Rebel Alliance Destroys Imperial Installation, Galactic Price of Steel increases slightly. "We've got enough to make a few billion more." says Imperial spokesman.[/i]

And the sad truth is our governments are probably stupid enough to build one.

[QUOTE=ironman17;34850471]Wait, all the iron on Earth being enough to make 2 billion Death Stars? I thought you'd need to tear apart an asteroid to get enough metal for ONE Death Star! Personally I think it'd be cheaper to hollow out an asteroid and fit it with mobility stuff; it'd be much cheaper than a great big metal sphere. Also, I wonder if the Empire would've "recycled" Alderaan after they blew it up, like how CEC in Dead Space goes around breaking up planets and mining them for all their mineral worth...[/QUOTE] Wouldn't a big hollow asteroid be a natural big metal sphere? :v:

No, not by any stretch of the imagination; an asteroid is a massive lump of rock in space, usually having masses of mineral deposits in it. If you hollow it out you get a large rock with plenty of real estate inside, which can be used to transform the asteroid into a spaceship with a naturally-occuring hull, kind of like a hermit crab that eats the inhabitant of it's future mobile home.

When human gets advanced enough we will firstly make a weapon to destroy a planet.

[QUOTE=DesolateGrun;34850152]or they mine asteriods[/QUOTE] Not to mention the dozens of planets in the empire.

One thing that struck me as weird is how hyperdrive tech in starwars has the ability to destroy planets by disabling the countermeasures that turn it off when it enters a gravity well. MEANING any hyperdrive capable space craft could be easily modified into a planet destroying missile Even the millennium falcon could cause a planet wide catastrophe simply with the force of impact + mass. I guess jury rigging ships and going 9/11 or rebellious planets just doesn't fit with the imperial ideal

If I remember right there's a planet or moon that's pure iron.. and has liquid lakes of iron along with iron rain. I wonder how much steel could be produced from that planet if we could mine it. Fun thought to think about.

[QUOTE=sparkles :D;34879605]maybe they have started to work on building one secretly[/QUOTE] They blew up the Moon back in the mid-2000s and they replaced it with the first half of the Death Star, which is facing towards Earth. They're still building it, and this is why there have been no manned missions to the Moon recently.

[QUOTE=alexojm;34868574]And the sad truth is our governments are probably stupid enough to build one.[/QUOTE] Because building a massive space laser out of technology we don't have that will be the size of the moon and is capable to destroy planets, isn't stupid and impractical.

What we need to do now is figure out how much the [i]Executor[/i]-class Super Star Destroyer would cost to build. 'Cuz I want one of those.
