[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] Also, I would've sent [i]India[/i] on the escort mission regardless. Even if I didn't know that I'd be losing ships, my choices would've remained the same. Not that I was planning on it getting blown up, but because it was the best heavy weapons platform available save the [i]Saratoga[/i]. Also, I didn't have many ships to spare or alternatives to send instead. Besides, I think that [i]India[/i] was the best choice to be the assigned heavy cruiser anyway. Being older and therefore slower, it was ideally suited for escort duty since it wouldn't need to make extreme maneuvers. It was able to sit close to the transports and use its heavy phasers to fire in all directions. Under normal circumstances, that would've been perfectly sufficient... I just wasn't expecting the extremely heavy firepower that the pirates managed to bring! Finally, the only alternative for a cruiser-type ship was the [i]Saratoga[/i], and I needed that to maintain a credible patrol on the northern flank, in case the Klingons decided to make some trouble in the next few weeks. And although the [i]Saratoga[/i] would've been much more likely to survive the pirate attack (with state-of-the-art shields and weapons, and good maneuverability to match), that would've left the border dangerously open, with only an ancient and unresponsive cruiser and a single modern destroyer. It boils down to this: I (or rather, my character) "gambled" that [i]India[/i] would be up to repelling the pirates along with the other escorts. It wasn't. [/QB][/QUOTE]
