First time they go into hyperdrive, the engines tear the bloody thing apart. People would suspect the whole idea of a spaceship that huge was just asking for trouble and never build one again. | |

| Jan 6, 2017 at 18:43 | comment | added | CPHPython | @Alistair86 I remember from the movie that in a ship with a single hyperdrive the calculations are made in order to avoid a lethal jump out of hyperspace (into a star, for example), but with multiple hyperdrives, the calculations probably go beyond that and need to consider the jump into hyperspace for avoiding what Gandalf described below. | |

| Jan 6, 2017 at 16:15 | comment | added | Longshanks | Han had to make a whole bunch of calculations before the jump to hyperspace. Total speculation but, I'd imagine the Death Star would go through a similar process and at the same time check that 'all systems are go'? Basically - would they risk jumping a battle station into hyperspace before checking that it was 100% safe? | |
