Totally. The fact is, once a society is beyond intra-stellar travel, with craft that do not do atmospheric flight, there is little reason not to go full borg and have ships with no real forward-facing direction to speak of

I was making an admittedly weak reference to the death star trench run dialog. Not serious

Honestly I find these types of questions silly since we have no way to compare the efficiency and efficacy of the different weapon and shielding types, or other on board tech and countermeasures.

For all we know the falcon’s shields absorb phasers like they’re paper and its turret lasers eat the Enterprise’s shield at 5% per bolt. Or it could be the other way around. Not to mention this completely ignores tactics and strategy which is a huge part of it. The Falcon doesn’t do direct confrontation for a reason. Han is more likely to try to fake a surrender and then pull some shit once aboard for negotiations.

And if we’re just gonna say “Trek tech is more advanced than Wars tech” we can just end the discussion there 🤷‍♀️

Honestly an X-Wing would likely fare better than the Falcon. Proton torpedoes, and small enough to evade their turbo lasers phasers

12 parsecs. 7 is impossible even with shortcuts through the ion storms

As I said, they care about how you think. Do you ask all these questions?

if I were given this interview question I would immediately start asking questions: Do I have my phone? Can I bring any objects into the room? Do I know the construction of the light? How far from the room is the light switch panel?

Asking “what are the limitations and conditions of this situation” is literally the thing they want to see. That’s my entire point.

This is often exactly what the interview question is testing. Many of these questions are not about the solution but about how the applicant approaches problems
