[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] Egad . . . quite a response! Thanks! Forgive me as I catch up: 1. I considered using the Vulcan transports, but since the context of that was a sneak attack of claimed peace envoys, I decided that probably didn't constitute a standard invasion vessel at all. 2. The Hur'q devices, IIRC, were not so much a spoofing technique as they were a holo-cloak . . . a forcefield pretending to be a wall. Similar in principle to the "rock" forcefields employed by the Vidiians, or the duck blinds used by the Federation. Hey now, maybe I should mention those . . . but, alas, we haven't seen them employed in a tactical manner as far as I know. 3. The speed of beaming large numbers of people is something I do need to quantify. It'll vary between large-number examples and some of the smaller ones as in "Descent, Pt. II"[TNG7]. 4. The idea of Starfleet Marines is something I'm of two minds about. I can see the potential for coolness, but it has always seemed contradictory to the sort of universe the show presents, and far too easily rendered silly. [/QB][/QUOTE]
