Toaru has been going through several revisions recently and we got a lot of new calcs and this one recalc, so i was told by @DemonGodMitchAubin and @KingTempest that a thread should be created to discuss the old calc vs the recalc.
Here's is the old calc, done by DT
And here is the new one, done by FantaRin
Not much i can add to the discussion.
That was the first part, now for the other feat that i think needs some discussion:
This feat here should have the high end used, not the middle end (currently accepted) or the low end (which was not calced in the blog).
To give the context, the main part of the feat is that a weather satellite was destroyed while in orbit by a laser beam.
This was also explained in the blog, but IRL there are two types of weather satellites, the Polar ones (that circle the Earth at 850km high) and the Geostationary ones (that orbit it at 35000km high).
The low end would be to use Polar altitude, the High end would be to use Geostationary altitude.
What supports the high end are 3 points:
1 - The general public was not aware of the destruction even tho it was above the city at the time, meaning it was outside of the human sight range
2 - The weather satellite Orihime 1 actually had Academy City's best supercomputer inside of it, it would make no sense to let it circle freely around the earth when they could fix it right above them.
3 - It was also a surveillance satellite, not just a weather one, so having it circle around the Earth would make no sense.
The middle end was calced using the 1st point alone to get a minimum altitude of 16000km which doesn't fit either the Polar satellites nor the Geostationary satellites and would thus ignore the other 2 points.
