    1. Cubes are fast at sublight, they would have to remain in exactly the right spot for a long time for the death star to unload the main weapon, making theorising about the main weapon pretty meaningless.

    2. The death star does not have shielding tech. This has all kinds of vulnerabilities.

    They could have all crew teleported into space before the WO could say “huh?”

    They could have ranks of borg assimilating entire critical compartments.

    They could be tractorbeamed into the nearest planet or star.

    Hell the cube could literally just fly back and forth through the star tearing it up from the inside.

    Once shields go down fights are pretty much over and this fight starts like that.










  • Wh is a unit of energy, Ah is a unit of electric charge, basically how many physical electrons passed by.

    The voltage of a battery goes down gradually as it is discharged, so getting an accurate value for total energy dissipated is very complicated, as this varies greatly with the discharge profile and other physical factors like the age/health of the battery.

    The one thing that stays constant is the amount of electric charge a battery can provide. If it’s old, the voltage of that charge will be lower and go down quicker, but it will be the same total charge.

    I agree from a consumer point of view, joules would be a friendlier unit, however it is also a lot easier to game. Electric charge is a much more definite unit in an electrical engineering sense.

    If any of what I said is confusing please ask me to clarify, I’m assuming a basic level of electronic literacy but it’s hard to know what knowledge I’m taking for granted as an ex electrical engineer.
