Aye, it'd make sense they'd arm their ships with the most powerful stuff they had.

Rochey, what are you saying? We're talking about military spec in 'Trek, and then you go say something like:

it'd make sense

Who are you, and what have you done with Rochey?!

[Sionnach Glic]

Sorry, not feeling too well today.

The race from the accelerated planet also used a tricabalt device as one of the last projectiles swung at Voyager.

But it's not Starfleet so they can be mostly competant.

IDK, I think we've beaten to death the idea that, based on "...AR-558," the Jem'hadar didn't exactly have Sun Tzu's grasp of waging war either.

[Lt. Staplic]

true, but to be honest, that's like saying the cockroach isn't great at evading the trap, they weren't exactly created to be military masterminds.

[Sionnach Glic]

I don't know about you, but if I was creating an army I'd spend a little time teaching them basic things like "running through a massive bottleneck is a bad idea", or "screaming loudly to alert your enemy to your presence before charging them with knives isn't great".

Yet thats what they do in all the war movies.

[Lt. Staplic]

exactly

[Mark]

Well, the Jem'Hadar don't really live long enough to become GOOD soldiers. Maybe the frontal assault is all they know?

[Lt. Staplic]

see i always pictured their brains fuctioning something like:

Vorta say kill them...

there them...

I kill

[stitch626]

Congratulations, you have made the most feared force in the Gamma Quadrant simple simians.

[Lt. Staplic]

well, you don't exactly have to be a brain surgon to be a leathal soldier.

[Tsukiyumi]

The most lethal soldiers in reality are quick-thinking problem solvers who are generally smart people. The Jem'Hadar fight like drunken National Guard Reserves...
