Wow is right.
A Fed CX on steroids.
The Federation Senate should hold hearings.
a real scandal in the making...the Federation Star Fleet violating the "so called rules of war" protocal of the Post GW era.
Could have diverted the whole Trade Wars epoch!

There has been discussion about the Jugernaut from time to time. An interesting combination would be the Jugernaut and starswarm robots.
This is a rough idea: Based on the SSD Mike R did the Jugernaut has 24 Aft Hull boxes. So one box holds on S bot. The ship can have 12 (or 2x times the senor track) in flight at one time. It can launch one per impulse out of the shuttle hatch. The S bots follow the rules in (SM12.46), except they stay within 15 hexes of the Jugernaut.

even better, give the Jugernaut the ability to manufacture additional starswarm robots between scenarios.
the bigger the challenge, the more the Glory will be!

Jeff,
They land on planets and mine materials to reproduce. As scenario variant the S bots could take the material to build more up to the Jugernaut. It has 20 cargo boxes. It appears an S Bot can build additional S Bots, which they could do aboard the ship between scenarios. They could also mine material the Ship needs as well.

Hey what if the Starswarm Robots could land in the shuttole bay and convert themselves into Robot BPs to fight in BP combat with the tareget ship!?!
Naahhhhh.

A Juggernaught-V!
I like it.

That would materially change the classic methods of dealing with the Juggernaught!
might have to design some JuggerDE's and JuggerFE's!
Whoa!
how about a Aegis refit for Juggernaught CV's!

Joseph, I liked your earlier post about the robots mining material themselves and taking it up to the ship for its own reconstruction requirement...
What if the existing robots ARE the mining types...and the JuggernaughtV carries PURE combat types as well that are more combat capable than the existing design?
sort of like the difference between a prospecting shuttle and an A-20....
what a flight group that would be!

Jeff,
I thought about that. The Jugernaut has four shuttles (Von Neumann shuttle). Each can carry 15 cargo points. These could ferry the mined material. The S-Bots burrow under ground to find the needed materials.
The S-bots ignore all ECM except that from natural sources; they have 3 points of built in ECCM. So they can't benefit from carrier lent ECM. The S-Bots are the escorts. Each has 2xP-3 and 1xPl-D (every third turn), and a 10 point 360 degree shield. These will provide an effective scren against drones, plasma, and fighters. The Jugernauts 6xP-4, and 14xP-1 will keep larger units at bay.If you have 12 S-Bots these will add 24xP-3s to the Jugernauts 12xP-3s.
I don't known what ECM rules the Jugernaut operates by. The Jugernaut and Starswarm Robots is a scary combination as is.

And all bets are off the first time the S-Bots begin burrowing into a Jindarian dreadnought...
