Mechanoids versus Dominators

[Nekira Sudacne]

Well, every other race that has been depicted in the Three Galaxies has a difference. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, the simplest answer is that they too have differences.

No, the simplest answer that fits all of the facts is that Dominators only have one type of major ship; the planetoid-sized one listed specifically.

Use Occam's Razor yourself, and quit ypothesizing the existence of other ships, then trying to come up with theories why none of these hypothetical ships managed to survive the destruction of the homeworld.
The simplest explanation is that these ships didn't survive the destruction of the home-world because the ships never existed in the first place.

no. the simplest answer is they couldn't get out of a freaking BLACK HOLE. not many things can, regardless of technological level.

Scenario A-
EVERY single Dominator in the three galaxies were all back at their home planet for tea-time or something when the doomsday weapon went off. Out of their entire race, a few hundred managed to find out about the impending doom, run to their personal shuttles, and escape.
Not one of these Dominators happened to fly off in any sort of war ship or other, larger, more powerful craft; they all just happened to take small personal shuttles that are the size of a planetoid.

Uh, just to point out, but there's a fundamental flaw in your thinking--your assuming that there's even a difference between civilian and military. it's possible the dominators advanced to such a state that every single one could build a ship that incorperates everything they no. maybe they don't even have different classes of ship like we do. after all, the reason why we have different classes is conservation of resources, you can build a dozen decent ships for the same resources as you could put into one dreadnought.

on the other hand, if you have enough rescourses, you could simply make every unit a dreadnough, no need to waste time on lesser ships.

All of which is essentially my point.

and my point is your point aginst it, isn't really a point at all. it's quite plausible.

Uh, Nekira...
I posted that in response to the claim that these planetoid-sized ships were somehow just the equivilent of yachts or something, that there were probably a lot of much bigger ships running around during the peack of the Dominators' reign.

As far as I can tell, all you're doing is agreeing with me that this was probably not the case; that the planetoid-sized ships were likely to be the biggest (possibly only) ships in the Dominators' arsenal.

Explain why you think that the Dominators HAD any war ships besides the planetoid-sized ones described, then explain why you think that NONE of these other war ships were actually at war; why they were hanging out at the home world when it blew.

Umm, I said I think they DIDN"T have any other warships...

Which is why I was confused when you (in the quoted post above) said that the simpler explanation was that these hypothetical warships "couldn't get out of a freaking BLACK HOLE.".
