Re: Captial ship's turrets are dirty cheaters

@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.
