    "They dived screaming onto the first planet, where, due to a tragic miscalculation of scale, the entire battle fleet was accidentally swallowed by a small dog"

      Your not wrong but also a ship like that would need to. At high fractions of the speed of light objects the size of coins start hitting the ship with energies on par with nukes.

      So I guess so. I met my wife overseas on a paid sabbatical. We feel in love and I had to return to work. I wasn’t able to make it back for six months. When we were intimate again. My wife looked at me somewhat seriously and said;”Oh it’s bigger than I remember.”
      On the one hand that was good… 😅…

    If the ship was an inch and a half, and was broadcasting in vhf, it must have been essentially an antenna and nothing else

    Huh, I was expecting the opposite to happen. For them to warp off and realize all those stars in the distance were port windows in a ship the size of a solar system, which is why they couldn't detect it.

    If I was that captain I would have ordered an immediate halt and a return to that sector with full scan for that spec.

      He had been warned, told not to return with armed ship. To come back could be considered a aggressive act. It was made clear. Send an unarmed ship next time.

    An inch and a half. No wonder they couldn't spot it simply by looking for any stars it would have occluded. Doesn't mean they still couldn't have wiped "Big Joe" out, but they were probably running a huge bluff. The frogs must have been laughing their a**es off.
