[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] Interesting topic, Baloo. First of all, I don't imagine that there is much in the way of heavy armor in Starfleet, for the following reasons. One, we know that a starship can hit ground targets with a large amount of accuracy and little if any damage to the surroundings. Kirk, for instance, would routinely call down phaser strikes on targets that he wasn't fifty feet away from. So I don't think that starships have to worry too much about hitting their own troops, save for the occasional melee. However, for that reason, it seems unlikely that troops would be kept very close together at all. 24th century technology would allow them to maintain unit cohesion at great distances. Hence, making it hard for a starship to effectively take out entire groups of soldiers at once. But armor, being larger, makes for a much more attractive target. [/QB][/QUOTE]
