[quote=darkwolf687] There is a massive difference between what I have presented as a tactic and what you are interpretting as the tacticMy plan isn't to steamroll such nations, its to convince them the hives can steam roll them so that the L'Er can extort them. And coming in with a weapon which may very well render their entire approach to shipbuilding less effective and thus requiring them to either discover, if undiscovered, or at least implement the technology into their ships, a time consuming task, will contribute massively to such a goalSimply put, the best victory is one where you don't have to fight. [/quote] Why would antimatter weapons render a specific nation's shipbuilding approach less effective? @Alien When I get around to my next post, I'll throw something your way.
