@McCbobbish - I was under the impression that ion based propulsion used less fuel because it is so efficient compared to nuclear and matter/anti-matter energy based systems! Apart from proton torpedoes and anti-ship missiles, the Star Wars galaxy uses predominantly energy based weapons. Imperial ships also have shielding against devices like nuclear and chemical weapons; they have have particle deflectors and primary energy shields.
Military equipment tends to go for preformence over efficency, ion engines use less fuel, but don't give out as much thrust as a thermonucuclear and chemical rockets. So chemical and nuclear rockets are better.
Go and re-read my comment, it seems either you CAN'T read or you IGNORE things on purpose.
READINGFAIL.
LOL you "assume"too much buddy, said manuvere is .05 seconds longer than a human needs to pull the trigger. the manuver SLOWS the viper down, it is no longer accelerating but turning rapidly since the engines are obviously propelling the viper in the opposite direction.
Consider that ties can accelerate @4200g's while the episode "the hand of god" shows that Vipers can only accelerate @7g's The ties would literally fly circles around the vipers, FAIL.
LOL who was talking about intertial dampening and gravity manipulation?
it turns in .35? LOL human reaction speed is .3 the pilot would be dead because he would have to slow to turn, slowing down in a dogfight means you get shot by your enemy.
@blacksun2175 that's assuming viper's did not have inertial compensators. they most likely did, as the battlestar universe has extensive allusions to artificial gravity. (cylon basestars even used artifical gravity as propulsion, since they lack engine nacelles)
according to the bstar wiki, "The Mark II can rotate 180 degrees vertically in .35 seconds." (Act of Contrition episode)
watch?v=ZPSmNgEU1fk (you can actually see a Raptor pull of an almost 'drifting' like technique as well.

Halo is the most advanced space battle followed by BSG and then star wars.

Ghetto edit:
NOT propelling the viper in the opposite direction.

which shows you can't read for beans.

@blacksun2175 So FAIL, for not even reading my comments right.

That's why that manuvere is made of FAIL.
