Grizzly:
Has anyone even tried using the collussus's own guns?

Merv, if someone were to approach you with an idea like this, what would your opinion be of it? Hyperspacing them into the enemy is one thing, but to use one as a massive Louisville Slugger...

Merv: It's more economical to just construct a hollow Colossus shell, mount a subspace drive inside and have it ram ships upon exiting subspace. A fully armed Colossus may be able to do more damage over a longer period of time, but in terms of in raw damage/credits, the current method of Colossus warfare is the best bang for the buck. An armed Colossus would need to destroy 15.2 destroyers/week to match the effectiveness of the Subspace-Space Impact Method (or Subspace-SIM). (Weapons and crew are actually quite expensive) Using Colossuses as bats were an idea previously explored, but the added requirement of RCS thrusters and fuel pushed cost projections a little too high. We may review that proposal as technology continues to advance.

Merv: Can't you just exploit the rules of nature and have like, an Ulysses dock to a Colossus and have the Ulysses pilot tape down the joystick left?
