Yes, I was thinking along the same lines myself. And making the bolos
(or
you could just call them the tracked death) this size means the only
realistic way of taking one out is with either a nuke or another bolo
(or
something simular) just like the books. Even though they could take even
a
nuke and still fight?

Yes, this is a problem that all large vehicles have.

I was thinking along the same lines myself, but a cl.25 DFFG with a HEL
range, how many chits would it draw at a time (or is it just ALL of
them?
<G>). Also, for ground to orbit fire, how does a cl.5 DFFG as a plasma
torp in FT sound? (so a 25 DFFG is 5D6 dammage), with the gun able to
hit
ships only in low orbit? (ps-do not send ortillary monitors in against a
planet with a active bolo on it).
