That interest They could practice have both sides us heavy combat vehicle armed type 10 photon torpedoes launchers to prevent either side form using starships to provide fire support and provide heavy artillery hiding behind power shield generations. That my theory why the Klingon were not using BOP during Battle of Azati Prime. Reason Defaint not used provide air-support was Klingon similar weapons take starship easily they could take hoppers. UFP specialist train to us mortars shells take out longer number enemies at a time. My theory never seen used during Siege of AR-558 was because specialists that train us this kind equipment whip out. UFP remote control shuttlecrafts be used for both intelligence gathering and to attack ground troops. More like world war 1 way fighting.Srelex wrote:Your little challenge is to try and conceptualize how proper Federation ground forces would look like if the Star Trek writers had the budget and desire to show epic land battles with combined arms in a similar vein to Geonosis, or, if you prefer, simply ground forces with a modicum of sense. This would include armor, infantry classes, etc, keeping it all in context and within the realms of tech presented, naturally. So, for example, phaser tanks, jetpack infantry, and so on. The nuTrek film certainly suggested that that particular UFP can deploy ODST-style troops if it so desires.
For extra points, you can have a go at the Klingons, Romulans, Borg, etc.
So, go!
