A thing I was wondering the other day was, basically, what were Sivar's objectives, aside from taking out Goddard? (Like anyu long-term goals.)
Here's my problem with the Sivar: It's basically a flying target. As far as I know (I haven't again played SM1 in, well, forever) we don't really know if it has any other weapons, aside from the AA guns. For all I personally know, it's only weapons are it's main gun and the AA (And there isn't any novels that could expand on the ship's capabilities.) My problem is that if it's outflanked by attacking destroyers and/or fighters, it's screwed royally. ANd IIRC we don't see or have any mention of escorts for the thing. All it really seems to be a big colony-destroying gun with nothing else backing it. (Terror weapon possibly?)
ANother problem I have with the Sivar is the technologies. We don't really hear any mention of the Proton Accelerator Cannon, aside from being reverse-engineered into the PTCs on the Confederation and her sister ship, the Concordia. So where did the tech go? Did the Kilrathi decide it was merely wasteful, or could they nor actually reproduce it?
Sorry if I come off as jumbled, but i'm fairly tired.
