[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ahkileez: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ahkileez: [qb] The magic nature of Treknology annoys me. It has so many shortcuts it makes for lazy thinking sometimes. Not that I'm accusing you of that, Sean. It's just that the first solution to almost any problem is 'Transporters'. [/qb][/QUOTE]Why WOULDN'T you go for the easiest solution first? Why complicate things unnecessarily from the outset? [/qb][/QUOTE]Essentially it boils down to the fact that your opponent would have to be totally fucking incompetent to not know that and take measures to reduce the effectiveness of that tactic or find a way to use it against you entirely. A forward assault is almost always the easiest course of action in a battle, but an even slightly competent enemy will cut you to shreds if you aren't smart about the way you do it. Trekno-magic makes for very lazy thinking; the perception is that the solution is always a wave of a wand and a push of an inoffensively colored button away. The instant they run into an enemy who is even the smallest bit challenging, they get caught flat-footed and have their asses handed to them. Using the toys should only ever be part of a more comprehensive and thoroughly planned strategy, not a means in and of itself. [/QB][/QUOTE]
