Hoth didn't had planetary shields.

I don't think that many of the factions would be paying attention to the UN charter too much when they are spread so far out. The Spartans wouldn't anyway. If they could destroy a city from space, and avoid having to land troops, they wouldn't care too much about what a piece of paper says light years away. They would simply blast every single city and building on a planet. And this is mostly for the benifit of outlying planets and colonies anyway. Can any of the factions afford to spread fleets out to cover all their territories? Syrma may be well defended, but smaller colonies may not be. Sol may be defended, but there may not be a fleet in sight for the protection of Capella. But like I said. If no one wants shields then that is cool with me. Cause the Spartans will be content to invade every small outpost and destroy them in a planet hopping campaign. |
May be hard to really pay attention to the little stuff, but I know the Peacekeepers and Drones would make a big deal of.... and major atrocities like bombarding the entire populated planets will be notice and can't hide that.
sooo.... wouldn't it be waste to trash the place? I can understand CONVENTIONAL bombarment to nock out planetary defences... but to use Fission/Fusion bombs would be such a waste...even anything stronger. then, is the Spartans genocidal and dishonorable, as well as lazy? 
anyway, want shields, figure out the proper techs for them...and planetary wide shields will take way to much power.....so better off with facility wide defence fields...........
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, don't want shields :P
