Didn't it build a swarm of tiny boats? That loophole seems to be currently exploited in the real world, too.

- KineticLensman 3y agoIIRC it had at least one small (?) purely defensive boat that couldn’t be destroyed by typical weapons so its parent fleet couldn’t be defeated. It wasn’t like a modern drone swarm
- PaulHoule 3y agoIt makes me think of the battles in Doc Smith’s Lensman series where the Galactic Patrol would develop a game-breaking fleet formation to use against Boskone in every major naval battle.
- KineticLensman 3y agoAh yes, probably need to re-read them. I remember how virtually every book introduces a new super weapon that becomes part of the standard arsenal in the next, all the way up to entire 'negative matter' planets that are fired out of subspace (can't recall the in-universe name) at the planets hosting your opponent's base.
- PaulHoule 3y agoThese are all on the Canadian Gutenberg.
- KineticLensman 3y agoThanks! They are also in a box in my loft along with lots of other classics. :-)
