Aye, very stupid.
stitch626 wrote:All of their large ships have a huge blind spot (weapons wise) in the back. I don't know if there is a reason for no aft coverage, but they have nothing
Where did you get that from? Nothing I've ever seen indicates they've no aft weapons coverage.
stitch626 wrote:AT-AT: Can only shoot forward (ok a forward arc, but still terrible coverage) and if you get a cross wind, you would fall over. Real bright.
Given that the AT-AT is capable of taking hits from aircraft in its flanks without wobbling, it seems stable enough.
Also, I think it's clear that it was supposed to be used at long range (they were still 17.28KM from the Rebel shield generator on Hoth when they destroyed it), meaning the forward fire arc isn't that much of a weakness.
stitch626 wrote:AT-ST: How is it supposed to be able to walk? It looks like its about to fall over while standing still, let alone while moving. Same goes for the AT-PT- and AT-RT.
Given that they
can walk, this isn't a blunder. It works just fine.
stitch626 wrote:TIE fighter: No shields, why do something that stupid. At least they corrected that later on.
They were supposed to be mass produced, designed to swamp their enemies in sheer numbers. Also, the lack of shields and hyperdrives supposedly made them very fast and maneouverable. Given that they achieved their design goals, I'd hardly call this a blunder.
stitch626 wrote:Blind spots are the same as the Empire on large vessels, though slightly better aft coverage.
Again, where are you getting this from?
stitch626 wrote:Nebulon-B frigate: Thin neck is really bad.
Yeah, that ship's awful.
stitch626 wrote:Fighters: Their pilots don't wear sealed suits; what if they have to ditch out of atmosphere.
Then they're pretty screwed.
stitch626 wrote:Their bridges and blind spots are the same as the Empire.
Once more, where?
stitch626 wrote:AT-RT, as discussed for the Empire.
Which, as pointed out earlier, works. Thus it is not a design flaw.
stitch626 wrote:Fighters: Their pilots also don't have sealed suits.
Probably figured the clones were expendable. Though that's a rather innefecient view.
stitch626 wrote:Bridges and blind spot still a problem, seeing a pattern here...
Funny, the Lucrehulks were more than capable of shooting at Amidala's yacht when it was behind them. Thus there's no problem with fire arcs.
Also, the only TF ship with a bridge on top was the Control Ship. The standard types didn't have that tower, indicating that the bridge was inside the Sphere section.
Though the rest of the CIS ships do continue with that idiotic flaw.
stitch626 wrote:Lucerhulk Battleship: If a small ship gets between the outer ring and the inner sphere, they could end up shooting themselves.
1) They were designed as freighters, not warships.
2) Any ship small enough to slip in between the arms would likely be too weak to pose a threat.
3) They have guns mounted on the interior, so it's no problem hitting something there.
4) Their shields are presumably strong enough to withstand a few accidental hits from their own guns.
stitch626 wrote:Not to mention that their reactor is near the hanger.
It's at the very back of the hanger, where the arms meet the engine section. Given that no one could realisticaly reach there (bar that one exception) it's hardly a flaw, as it'd be perfectly protected there.

Curtis Saxton has a
few possible explainations on this, though I agree it's a stupid flaw. Still, at least they fixed it post-Naboo.
