Whats Veeky Forums take on this?
Is it possible? if so, under what circumstances and considerations?
pls respond

>is it possible
sure, why not
>circumstances
magic space engines that give you whatever thrust you desire
Jose Ross
are you sure boyo? I am not so sure.

If there were support beams constructed under the hull to counter smaller vessels from doing this, I guess it could work. Though the way the Star Destroyer chews into the other one like it was made of paper mache shows they aren't supported by such things. In which case the small vessel should have cut straight into the Star Destroyer. With the amount of thrust it was generating, there's no way that small a area would be able to withstand it without proper beams.

its fucking space the ships would have bounced off each other

we need to science the shit out of this one Veeky Forums

The impulse during the collision would have been higher than what the first star destroyer experienced from the Hammerhead accelerating it, which would allow the Hammerhead to push without breaching it, but creating a destructive collision.
Moreover, the surface that is acted on is different in the star destroyer that is obliterated; with it experiencing all the forces towards the bridge, whereas the first star destroyer experienced the forces all on its edge. The edge may have been more reinforced than the bridge for purposes such as ramming.
It's plausible.

There's basically no way the Hammerhead had engines that could accelerate a Star Destroyer laterally that quickly.

Given that the small ship is made of much stronger material and if you gave it several days of thrusting, then probably, yes.

I don't think it should have been possible given simply that, if that were happening, the star destroyer getting pushed would just give it some gas and get out ahead of the other.
I haven't seen the movie but if there was some reason the bridge/engine were out of commission, then I give it a pass.
However, there is no way it would just cleave the other destroyer like that. Unless, of course, the first destroyer was made of glorious Nippon steel.
