Talk:SMC Drop Pod

The whole point of using pods instead of dropships is that they can't be hit by AA? They were never hit by AA gun in any of the games, even managed to evade fire from Strogg fighters. Also you just can't evade EMP pulses unless you are travelling faster then light. Big Gun generates EMP pulses which was the reason first wave lost entire battalions as soon they entered the range, there is no such thing as hitting things with "EMP Charge". On Controling Pods, they have sophisticated onboard auto pilots with emergency manual controls available according to Quake 2 intro as they have more then a few systems to lose power :P KON Air 21:22, November 27, 2010 (UTC)
