I'm not all that good at math but wouldn't the ship that was moving receive more damage then a ship standing still? A ship sitting stills weight is distributed evenly but a ship moving the weight is shifted slightly to the back.
So I would think, if a stationary weapon fired at a moving target, leading it shots and guessing properly on the target's course that the ship that was moving would receive more damage then if it was sitting still, since it would basically be speeding to meet the shell that was fired at it?
Kinetics, think of a car if you were driving at 30 to 40 mph and an egg fell about 50 feet in the air, it would make a big sound maybe even crack your wind shield a little and splat the egg. If you dropped an egg from the same height and were traveling 120 mph your windshield would shatter the eggs shell would become shrapnel, thus making the egg far more dangerous?
Or did I sleep too much in class?
