No, even with magic-tech drives and "inertial compensators", it makes absolutely more sense for large warships to be "tower oriented" versus "boat oriented". Longitudinal orientation *only* makes sense for aerospace hybrid craft versus pure-space craft, so anything that is too big to land should...

The Expanse is literally the *only* visual science fiction where spacecraft meant to operate under sustained thrust are correctly arranged with "skyscraper style" floors rather than ship-style longitudinal decks, and where high-G maneuvering is portrayed as dangerous and requiring crew to be...

Per the official specs, six interior berths with each berth capable of holding one Corvette class frigate or two Morrigan class destroyers. And yes, this is a bit of a bizarro-classifications world where "destroyers" are basically corvettes, frigates are destroyers, and "Corvette" is a specific...

To a degree, but I would argue that it makes sense -- the earlier books made it absolutely canonical that Concordiat and peer naval warships did not significantly outgun Bolos, nor could they tank hits from Bolo-level guns, which makes the existence of naval warships at all a huge plot hole...

In the TV series, the Donnager is certainly guilty of considerable overconfidence. Granted, she's the biggest and baddest battleship there is, but she didn't even go to general quarters until the Q-ship launched the six stealth ships and they opened fire. However, I don't think the Donnager's...

In the book, the Donnager explicitly killed two of the six stealth ships with railgun fire and implicitly killed two more, as there were only two left by the time she self-destructed, and moreover she arguably only lost the battle due to a lucky hit to her main reactor. The loss of power forced...
