Flight and Flying- Tuesday

[solo_sword]

The Danger Shop today was configured to be the bridge of a massive Star Destroyer, moving through space, filled with officers and a few empty seats.

"Clearly we're back to spaceships today," Jaina began. "This is an Imperial-class Star Destroyer, which is a scary name for a battleship used by both sides where I come from. They have heavy weapons, come equipped with tractor beams to pull you in, can house thousands, and can carry multiple squadrons in it's hangar. They're not the best maneuverers in the galaxy, but it doesn't really matter because if you come across a Star Destroyer, you're in some trouble.

"Today you're going to work the bridge while you're fighting another Star Destroyer," Jaina said. "You're not probably not going to be able to get a direct shot at the other side and blow them up. But depending on where you're sitting you can aim weapons, you can deploy fighter squadrons, or you can control the tractor beam to try and capture their ships. Let's see what kind of damage you can do."

Man a Star Destroyer

Choose whether you're going to work the cannons or turbolasers, the tractor beam, or communicate with the baby gar to deploy ships.

Of course you have X-wings and they have TIEs. Of course.

Steph was totally going to take a cannon, are you kidding? That shit was cathartic.

Steve gave her a wink as he slid in nearby to also shoot the hell out of things.

"Hey, Steve," Steph said, nodding briefly back at him. "You know how they have those rooms where you can go and just break shit? This is way better."

Re: Man a Star Destroyer

[grenadesandohana]

"So much better," Steve said, definitely muttering "pew pew" under his breath as he fired because he was a secret nerd.

Re: Man a Star Destroyer

Steph snickered, but definitely echoed a little pew pew of her own.

Was she swiveling unnecessarily frequently just because it was fun? Well, yeah.

Re: Man a Star Destroyer

[grenadesandohana]

Well, why even be in a swivel chair otherwise?

"Eleven o'clock high!" Steve called out, swiveling as well.

Re: Man a Star Destroyer

[drumsticksandd20s]

That was why swivel chairs existed at all, right?

"Wait, what?" Steph ended up going in the opposite direction so she got there, but the shot she fired was a split second too late. "Whoa, man, the recoil on these things."

Was awesome.

"It's fun, isn't it?" Steve said, grinning.

Re: Man a Star Destroyer

"It's completely fucking insane," Steph blurted out. "But I mean, in the best way?"

When Stark had been on large warships it had been as a captive. Not that this was exactly the same as a command carrier or a dreadnought.

He was walking around the space at first before finding an open seat by the cannons. It wasn't real. He could blow things up. Or try, anyway.

Anakin was taking the spot to deploy the ships, doing so with some kind of expertise.

Weird, huh.

Goose went straight for the cannons and was rather enthusiastic about getting the chance to shoot at things, not that that was anything unusual for Goose.

"This thing is huge," Lana noted. She'd thought capital ships in her time were large, but this was something else.
