[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [qb] Yeah, but if the mothership is driven off, the hoppers and their crews/troops are dead. As to the stunner thing, we saw the Jem Hadar travel klicks from their garrison without shield cover- something area-of-effect would have been handy against them. Heck, at least add on a Runabout-sized phaser bar on the side of the hull to cover disembarking troops...possibly one on the ventral side for clearing a landing space too. [/qb][/QUOTE]And they're just as dead if there was no mothership to begin with. Impulse engines won't do them any good if the enemy has space superiority AND warp capable ships in system. Any invasion requires a coordinated effort from multiple platforms across an entire fleet. You can't just have a bunch of shuttles turn up filled with troops and have an invasion. First you have to attack they planets to eliminate any nearby ships, neutralise any static defences THEN secure the planet with a full scale invasion. Miss out the first two steps and it's a turkey shoot. As for onboard weaponry, I haven't gotten that far yet. Right now I'm making sure the proportions and internal layout is about right before I start worrying about the superficial details. Though I imagine any weaponry on the tactical version would be purely defensive to give covering fire, nothing too offensive as this is most certainly not a gunship. As for the Jem'Hadar, I presume you're referring to the siege of AR-558. In which case the argument is irrelevant as they were the invaliding force assaulting an enemy that was dug in, not the other way around. Because they happened to be dug in right next to a valuable asset (the comms relay) orbital bombardment wasn't an option. As for the stunner, I think it's be established the stun setting doesn't work on Jem'Hadar. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [qb] (I was just being snarky, by the way.) [/qb][/QUOTE]Yes, I did notice that. [/QB][/QUOTE]
