RE: [FT] Boarding Torpedo

Don't worry Germ, I'm beyond salvation on this sort of thing anyway, the
MT
style missiles one of my fleets uses have the brains of
political/military
prisoners in place of standard guidance computers.

As for the species these Boarding torps are intended for, well they are
a
friends idea so any ridicule it generates I'll pass his way ;-)

Cheers,

Matt Tope

Careful Matt, back in Jan 2002 I suggested something very similar and
I'm still seeking therapy to get over the ridicule dished out by this
list
:)

I once said
"No well trained Marines would not be wasted in this way. Which is why I
suggested that if your background has either the ethical backdrop to say
use
prisoners
on these missions as a way to redeem themselves (e.g. The Dirty Dozen)
or you have specially bred clones for just these missions or it fits
within
an expendable class of insectoid alien races."
