Captial ship's turrets are dirty cheaters
I was doing some Practice Mode on a stardestroyer, and as an experiment, I decided to destroy every gun and missile turret on it, rather than trying to finish it off. I wanted to see if it was possib...

@ghostmonk000Also hyper space ramming is really not a thing of normal none hyperspace tracking vessels. You would need to be in hyperspace and normal space at the same time, and not even that is given unless you knew how to trick the hyperspace tracer itsself, which maybe holdo did or did not? To ram something out of hyper space and be effective, is to be a bigger ship or nearly as big as the ship, maybe even an immensely stronger ship. The reason ships normally stop before jumping, because when they come out they dont want to need to evade obstacles as you come out at the same speed you go in. .
@ghostmonk000I'm not even sure if the Star Wars lore has this aspect fully fleshed out, but according to Wookiepedia, Hyperspace is an alternate dimension a ship enters upon breaking the speed of light.....
Firstly, ignoring the whole cosmic speed limit thing, if your engines could accelerate and break the speed of light, then that means hyperspace is not the means of travelling at lightspeed, but merely a consequence. Your engines are responsible for the acceleration. So in theory, you could accelerate to 99.99% of lightspeed and not enter hyperspace, but still enjoy the benefit of travelling almost at lightspeed.
So if this lore is to be believed, you can accelerate a Corvette to 99.99% of lightspeed into a Star Destroyer bridge. It's practically guaranteed that the Star Destroyer won't have the structural integrity to withstand lightspeed momentum. And no, you don't need to have nearly equal mass to induce momentum damage. That's exactly how bullets work. How does a bullet weighing 1000 times lighter than our body kill us? Speed and momentum compensates for that.
