I've been watching 1 episode a day and I have been having an interesting experience. The show is both better and worse that I remembered. It's better because they do a great job sequencing the timeline of technology (phase cannons are new for example) and a great job dealing with the social issues that humans will deal with in space. But its worse because there are a lot of gaffes that could easily have been fixed with a good tech team. How they deal with vacuum makes a big difference especially since they have a less technical ship with fewer field technologies to protect them from vacuum. But sometimes it is just editing gaffes.

Since it's a distributed platform, a wave or a storm would still affect it in a big way so that any portion of it could flip or fold. Would it actually stay in the gyre? I mainly want to know if it is possible and any ways to help me think of something this large so that I can grasp the idea. Would a solid ship of a mile or more in length and half a mile in breadth fare better or would it crack and break when a large enough wave hit it?
