I'm reading (with delight) the campaign and I'm to the point where Taranis fell.
It has perhaps been discussed in one of the 156 messages of this thread, but somehow I don't feel like backtracking into all of them, sorry
So the question is. Why the Empire has no STOs on each major colonies? That's bordering criminal! Plus, with STOs, you add entrenched troops. It should be part of the budget when setting up a colony. You should not just spread like a kind of mold on every habitable or near habitable planet and not defend it.
Is it because the price to defend the colony far out weight their importance? Is it criminal negligence and the culprits must be punished? The Emperor can't be liable to anything, so the fault are on the governors or sector administrators!
Is that smaller sized fuel tanks I spy on those fighters?
Great update, and good to see the FAC strike being held off. I have to say the level of collateral damage on ground assaults is still feeling high to me. If most of the population and the facilities are getting destroyed it really removes a lot of the incentive to launch ground attacks.
(btw I'm assuming this in the Firestorm IV description:
Valentinian Precision Armaments V12-240 Particle Lance (1) Range 64,000km TS: 5,333 km/s Power 37-5 ROF 40
is a typo)
