fuck that duck
Beff Pike:
Perhaps in the days of Star Wars space-flight is so common and deregulated that certian regularites cannot be applied.
I prefer a lower-tech approach.
They let the Millenium Falcon fly... :D

My tastes are tending towards a Starship Science-Fiction premise more based out of what we know today to be possible... or concieveable.

I was searcing for some colaborative writing to that effect earlier. It seemed an unpopular idea... or perhaps it was simply posed by an unpopular person.

Huh?

Exactly!

But if it is possible, I'm with Dolash on most points here. Except the hiding beside a cloaked ship. That seems somewhat pointless to me...

It's more movie camera's so I think that it could remain relatively stealthy. There might be tiny evidence but it would easily be ignored. Plus, who expects an invisible ship to be floating in the air? You wouldn't see it and be like oh look theres an invisible ship. You'd see it and be like, you're crazy man, smack yourself on the head and get back to work.


It would stand out alot more than that. Hiding a ship against other ships in the blackness of space is one thing but covering your craft with flat screens that display the picture from cameras (motion or otherwise) on the other side of the craft would still make it visible. Also, your cameras would not be covered by these screens or they'd never be able to take their pictures.

The ship would be seen quite easily actually.

And that is assuming there is not a camera or flat screen broken or inoperable since it's exposed to the vacuum of space.


Twin Stealth Armour:
Hidden all over the hull of the Stealth Intruder are thousands of tiny flatcams. These automatically send the input they receive to flatscreens on the other side of the ship. This way it seems that you can look right through the ship. Coupled with the XP5 Jammers in their passive mode this makes the ship undetectable to next to everything.


I believe your particular method of stealth is not practical for the application intended in the thread and would not work.



But as Brutus did not seem to contest the invisibility of the craft nor it's position in the hanger but just how many people Dolash can sneak aboard, he granted Dolash a nice concession.




But this is just my opinion.

I don't see how it wouldn't work - the flatscreen shows what the opposite flatscreen sees, right? Sounds invisible to me.

BUT.....it would appear to be a lot closer. In other words, if the ship landed 25 meters away from the hangar wall, then an image of the hangar wall would appear on the other side of the ship, but eye to eye it would be 25 meters closer than what it's supposed to be. Also, if someone is looking from the inside portion of the hangar bay to space outside, then wouldn't he be suspicious if outer space, as projected by the tv cameras, was suddenly in the middle of the hangar bay?

The way I envisioned it when I originally R&Ded it was that there would be multiple tiny flatscreens with multiple tiny cameras placed in between and behind the flat screens. That being said it was originally intended as a outer-space based stealth system and I agree with Kraken that it would be detectable indoors due to perspective.

What I am saying is, if the cameras are not covered by the screens they are visible. But if you cover the cameras with the screens (placing them behind the screens) then what would they show? It's a catch-22.

Are your comm antenna covered with flat screens?

Do you not have windows/viewports on the craft?

Are your landing struts covered with flat screens?

Not to mention the engines...
