Death Star (thing)

An example of one of the Bad Theories of Spacecraft Design.

Some flaws:

• Its one big weapon is not easily aimable.
• Its smaller weapons have crummy range.
• It has one small weakness.
• Its creators are confident in their machine.
• The guns are manned by neither infallible machines nor smart humans, so they are bound to fail.
• It has ridges in its surface, so that the enemy fighters can be sheilded from fire.
