They don't know about the Gigas untill after the battle at Sol.

So why do they want it so badly? If it's stuck in Sol then what use is it?

Part of the answer

[InfernoGod]

Bosch beer! I'm telling you, it's the beer!
*thinks of a real answer*
Hm... well, the GTVA DID use a warship to test the Sol Gate... maybe they felt threatened?

[Stardust]

makes sense to me.

As for how many Gigases the Shivans have, i consider it to be the Shivan superweapon. It cannot be stopped. It cannot be killed. It can only be slowed down.

But thats just me.

Then what's the Gargant for then?

[Kie99]

The Gargant would be easy to destroy, just fill a Warlock full of Meson Bombs and make it jump into the Gargant.

How many Gigas' and Gargants are there?

Umm no that won't work

[NGTM-1R]

Well, I've always advocated an Executioner- or Armageddon-filled Odin rammed into the Gargant's drives as a means of making it less dangerous, at least temporarily.

Having a ship jump out of subspace INSIDE YOU has to hurt.

Naw, warlock hiting Gargant, not too damaging, methinks, especially considering the layers of armor that thing must have.

[Woomeister]

A better comparison.

What about the Warlock emerging from subspace inside the Gargant's reactor?

GTVA doesn't have that kind of intel, plus it has many.

[Woolie Wool]

Then the main engines? Having a warship materializing inside you can't be good for you.

[Zarax]

I've found a solution
Have as many fighters/bombers as possible constantly bomb the Gargant with EMP missiles...
While it's disabled GTVA capships can target it with beam volleys...
It would take days, but with enough fighters (and supplies) it would be doable...
Otherwise just make the local system go supernova and if the gargant doesn't jump in time you'll get a lot of fried shivans

[Jetmech Jr.]

You do know that a shot from the Icanus' main weapon will only do about 1% to the Gargants turrets, right?

And, well, is it even possible to jump INSIDE a solid mass?

[Woolie Wool]

If you override the safety systems, probably yes. You can jumo through solid objects, as long as you have space to enter the node (get a few klicks away from a capital ship and then jump towards it).

[SadisticSid]

If that were true someone would've developed a subspace vessel or munition that could jump inside reactors long ago. That's enough for me to conclude that it's impossible...

[Viper1000]

I got an even better idea... supernova a star next to the Gargant.
