Quote:That would also be why they docked with the SDF instead of engaging directly when the fleet shows up - they're in low orbit, having been slated to dock anyway after the ship launched, the orbitals are at the Lagrange points, and the fleets beyond that - no way the ARMORs could get there in less than a couple of days, let alone in time to do any good. Fleet finishes off the stationary defenses, ad a cluster of them microfold in closer gunning for the SDF, SDF dives back into the soup and plans to lead them away again.
Incidentally, I figure that (ARMORs) are dead slow - so much so that, even carrying three of the things, the SDF-1 is far faster than they could ever manage - but putting them onto smaller ships works the scale equation in your favor.
