At least, the ships that don’t snap in half in a storm ain’t rigid. That’s something often overlooked in sci-fi movies… these great big spaceships flying around, dodging asteroids and getting hit with nukes. Sometimes bits get blown off, but rarely do you see any actual *flex.* Granted, there’s reasons for that (it’s hard to do in CGI, probably hard to do with physical models). But still, it’s a glaring omission. And amazing when you actually see it (the last jump of Galactica comes to mind).
