But what we want is a mission to get done, and then I think       that economy and comfort should be prioritized lower than survivability.       All we need is one guy to get close enough to control the drones with a laser       link-up.              >       > And what is the tech level of the planet and the universe in general?              Good question. If computers cant self drive/aim a drone, an armored van is       just as fine. From the additional info it would not seem that the population       is high enough to have these things.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
