Lisias Posted April 20, 2022 Author Share Posted April 20, 2022 6 minutes ago, magnemoe said: Now I say Yamato is an nice design for an battleship but I think its an stupid design for an spaceship, had been smarter to spread out the guns more, say 6 turrets with two guns each on top an bottom, it give an 12 gun broadside if you rotate the ship along the axis of trust and 8 straight forward and back Ah, but this is something I can explain! I'm a big fan of the anime, watched both versions (the original and the remake), as well the live-action (not bad, to tell you the true). Earth was being devastated by an alien force, people managed to stay alive by hiding underground and the seas were vanishing exposing the seabed where Yamato was laying. So the Earth forces, desperate for a new long range spaceship to fulfil a interstellar mission that could save the day, choose to use Yamato as it was accessible, it was a solid block of metal already available and the aliens would never believe someone would build a spaceship from a God-knowns-how-many-centuries-old wreckage. And it could also sail as ship on Earth and Alien oceans, what rendered some very nice naval battles on the series. Oukey, lame God in the Machine plot - but it worked for the anime!
