The hole in Saturn's rings irritates me
I realise this is a sci-fantasy game with inter-dimensional insect Kings and such.. But every time I see the hole punched in Saturn's rings by the Hive ship I immediately think both 'how cool' and 'that's not right'.
The rings rotate and are made up of trillions of pieces of rock and ice. So if the ring is spinning and the Hive super weapon detonated then the hole would not be perfectly round. It would be a misshapen sort-of-flat-teardrop, would it not?
Just had to get that out. :/

Well, a likely explanation is: The dreadnought is orbitating Saturn at the same speed as the rocks on the ring. So the dreadnought and the hole are both in movement, but it's relative speed, if compared to the rings, is zero. So the hole just stays round. It would be just too hard to have a giant space ship standing still that close to a planet, so it has to be orbitating it, its the only way.

Because space magic

god damn technical nerds....

2 RepliesThe hole in my ass irritates me. It's always spitting nonsense.

Aren't shockwaves usually a circle? That would be why there is a giant circle around the DN. The shockwave of the weapon displaced the ice/rock mix in the rings and replaced it with ship debris. It bothers me too but looks cool as you fly in, or stare out past the hull breach on the ship.

I don't have time to explain why I don't have time to explain.

2 RepliesWait what? What stops the dreadnaught orbiting saturn at the same angular velocity as the rings? As long as the ship and rings have v=0 relative to one another when the weapon was fired, the hole might as well be round.
-
Maybe the dreadnought was moving at the same speed with it when the explosion happened?..
-
2 RepliesThe ring isn't spinning in the Destiny universe. Idk if that brings up other issues or not.

I'm a fan of holes.
-
I science from time to time but today I no science ok?
-
I think of it more like the dreadnaught has an aura around it that keeps it symmetrical and the rings from reforming in that area as it orbits around Saturn.
-
I bet every hole irritates you.

And [i]this[/i] is where you draw the line?!?
-
Yet you dont care about the gravity being the same on all planets lol
-
Or or the dreadnaught could be stuck in the rings gravitational type pull and could be spinning with the rings, kinda like how satellites revolve around the earth.
-
The huge missing chunk of the ring on the right side bothers me more
-
8 Repliesor... the dreadnaut is also orbiting saturn at the same speed as the ring
-
I know right? I'm beginning to think this game isn't real.

Edited by AmericanPATR10T: 9/25/2015 4:55:01 AMWith the rocks spinning so fast it would just look thinner or light because less rocks and ice would be spinning in that section. I knew there had to be other people with this knowledge that it bugged the hell out of too, haha. I get that it's a fantasy sci-fi game but that was just being lazy IMO. Especially after all the time they put into it this time you think they'd make this type of stuff correctly. The only way the whole would stay there is if all the particles rotated at the same speed, but even if they did I still think they go so fast you could see the whole moving around.

You've effectively ruined this beautiful scenery for me.
-
Oh god what have you done. I will never be able to look at it again.
-
The hole in your mom's nethers irritates me. Seriously, I don't know where she got it, but she most definitely gave some to me.
-
When the ship blew everything up in the first cutscene it could've left that hole.. I might be wrong though but I think that's what happened
