Nanotech isn't magic, Koln. The turrets just rotate freely around the ship using perfectly everyday mechanical means, to allow them to fire in any direction. A gyroscope-stabilized periscope allows for an unobstructed view, which is kept oriented in the same direction while the turret moves (unless the gunner intentionally turns it) to make aiming easier, creating the impression of being able to shoot "through" the ship.

I'd put it all on the wiki, but I am not sure anyone would really want it all there. Maybe someday I'll edit bits of mah explanation down to a smaller size, and ask if I can put that up somewhere... Not really sure where it would fit...

Nano tech IS magic. Other thing is that we understand and use it, but it's really magic and i love it .

About the wiki: just make a new article "girlyboy's explanation of alleg world" and put some links to it over there . That doesn't hurt

There is sound in space because my favorite Sci Fi flick has sound in space.

My favourite Sci Fi flick (2001: A Space Odyssey) does not have sound in space, therefore there is no sound in space.

For such a long thread, I'm supprised nobody has actually written an article on this.

Anyone want to come up with a good name for the article to start with?
Maybe "Scientific Inaccuracies"

Well we disovered how to move a colossal amount of metal through space and we discovered black holes we can travel through, Dont you think we could figure a way to hear if a mother f%$^$ Interceptor is shooting at us?
