| Feb 20, 2016 at 0:30 | comment | added | Caleb | If I were piloting a ship, and we were approached by / approaching another ship, I would orient my ship so that the strongest shields were in front, best weapons pointed at the other ship (or maybe docking bay door if it's an ally), and I was primed for best maneuverability and visibility options. For most ships designs I have seen on the show (which, I admit, is very few) wouldn't that would imply basically "face to face" meetings? | |
