The comment on the antennas is still true
because there are millions of tons of space debris that is flying around
that could damage such equipment on a ship.  There are two other points that
you fail to consider and the first point is some of these space craft are
horribly bulky and therefore not very streamlined in their structure.  These
space craft would be considered very easy targets by their enemies.

(snipped the rest of the scientific discussion)

I think you've failed to consider that a bulky ugly craft with lots of
antennas and other pointy pieces would be very handy when encountering those
space monsters that live inside the asteroids and have the huge mouths that
are disguised as caves.  All those pieces sticking out of the ship would
poke the monster in the sensitive areas of its gums and the roof of its
mouth.  And if that didn't stop it then the bulkiness would make it hard for
the monster to swallow the craft.

What's the good of wings if you're sitting in the belly of the beast being
slowly dissolved by gastric juices?

G.
Did you ever see the Millennium Falcon in the first Star Wars motion picture
where that space craft travelled inside a crater to hide from the Galactic
Empire and they flew inside a space monster?  I thought that the Sarlacc Pit
Monster (which was in Return of the Jedi, not Star Wars, to those people at
JVC for making the Star Wars video game trilogy) was large but that monster
made the Sarlacc Pit Monster seem as though it was an earthworm being
compared to an anaconda.  My space craft is very handy because it has two
support craft that are by themselves very well armed and the engines can
also double as guns and I believe I have around forty weapons total on my
space craft or possibly more than forty weapons and it is only seventy three
Lego studs long, or in the case of human measurements, about the size of the
Galactic Mediator, which is about two feet in length so I think that I do
not need to poke the monster, I think I need to make some nice space monster
burgers and space monster steaks.  My space craft is known as a Gaea
Federation Galaxy Destroyer not because it is a good name but the fact that
a destroyer is equipped with many guns but not as many as a battleship, or
in the context of space, a battle cruiser.  The primary function of a
destroyer is not only to provide support for reconnaissance teams but to
also patrol the enemy territory for signs of terrorism, violence, and other
threats and to destroy smaller vessels as well as defending the larger
vessels of the representative space fleet, or protecting the bigger space
craft in the space fleet.  Some of the features on my wings also are part of
my DualFire (IGTM) technology and this technology allows the nine engines,
three main engines, two auxillary engines/intergalactic ballistic missiles,
and four guns/teritary auxillary engines, to act as either thrust or as a
weapon andevery engine is controlled individually so that they change their
functions at the press of a button on the control panel inside of the ship.
Have I answered your question correctly, G?

(...) No I'm not familiar with that motion picture. That's keen that they featured an Asteroid Cave-Mouth Monster in a movie. I just hope that it wasn't a comedy because the danger posed by these creatures to space ships is very real and no laughing (...) (23 years ago, 22-Jun-01, to lugnet.space) !

<snip> (...) Ahem I dont know if any one has corrected you, and I hate to be nit picking but the M.F. flew into a "cave" not a crater in the SECOND MOVIE called The Empire Strikes Back. thank you (23 years ago, 25-Jun-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.loc.au)
