Re: Planetary invasion ramblings (longish)

Jeff spake thusly upon matters weighty: 

Sure, there may be a few left behind and your point about SDBs
> is a good one (though less so with the advent of the FB, I suspect)

Why? I assume even with FB it is quite feasible to design a non-FTL
capable ship which (by virtue of not needing the FTL drives) has more
hull capacity (and maybe space freed up by fuel) to accomodate more
armour, weapons and ECM.... and costs less.... therefore making
a wonderful planetary defence option.
