Ki'K Drone.

A small flying drone, weighing about 200 pounds. and about the size of a medium sized table, loaded with a number of tools of sabotage, as well as a fairly large Thermite Incendiary Bomb. Capable of sustained flight and is dropped from Low Earth Orbit. It seeks out a designated target and either attaches itself to it and destroys vital components before launching again and searching for another target or it smashes into the target at a high velocity, exploding violently and spraying Thermite everywhere. One is Guaranteed to sink anything smaller then a Terran battleship, two will do the job for a battleship. Three for a carrier, and four for a supercarrier. Can easily outpace the majority of Terran civilian planes and a number of Terran military planes. It is capable of destroying ground targets as well.

Thermite is fucking nasty stuff.

Also can burn in space. So we'd have the tech for it.

Problem is that... well, the lasers would do a better job, without being constrained by ammo. We do have advanced tech to work with here.

[~Neri]

These are meant to be suicide/sabotage drones.

Lasers actually would be less then useful. Lasers make huge amounts of noise and are very very visible. They also leave trademark burns. Thermite makes functionally no noise. So a Ki'K that melts its way inside a battlecruiser underwater and then explodes won't be noticed until the ship hull has completely melted through and the ship is on its way to the bottom of the ocean.

[Taricus]

Yeah. But on the other hand, they can actually shoot down other aircraft, and actually have longevity

[~Neri]

We're trying to target out of the way stuff correct? Think of this as a testbed. We aren't gonna instantly have air superiority without testing the tech first.

[Taricus]

Not total, no. But nothing ventured, nothing gained.

[~Neri]

The Ki'K would most certainly be a venture. It would functionally be a flying drone capable of going underwater. It would potentially allow us to get an idea of how enemy vehicles work, so we can adapt their atmospheric tech to our spess tech. It would be able to target both their navies and their slower, larger planes (such as bombers) on top of their civilian planes. We could damage railroads/trains with minimal risk to hinder transfer transfer of goods. Destroy unwatched infrastructure easily and bypass minor to major security. They would make great combat engineers due to their assortment of tools and could flat out melt through most bunker doors.

[Taricus]

It's not the bombers I'm worried about though.

Besides, an actual fighter means we have something to escort our dropships.

[10ebbor10]

Anyway, hurry up and vote for something will ya?

[~Neri]

We don't need to escort our dropships yet. They have amazing armor.

[Taricus]

Well, I'd rather to be safe than sorry. Otherwise they'll get those filthy mitts of theirs on our gear.

[~Neri]

Then we can stick thermite charges on all our gear. If someone dies. Just detonate and melt the entire area.

[Taricus]

Eh, thermite is primitive to the stuff we could roll out

[~Neri]

Eh, thermite is primitive to the stuff we could roll out

Exactly.

We want them underestimating our tech.

Not to mention primitive = way easier to make enmasse

[Taricus]

Not really. As for underestimating our tech, that'll only happen if we let them nick it.
