At least? I trust you've never seen squids at work?... I mean, the drone weapon, of course.
They have some crazy maneuverability and a tendency to eat through toughsteel, hardium, sturdynite, solidium, robustine, etc. with little effort.
Try again.... the term "puddle-jumper" refer to one of
these:
I have no idea what
you're talking about -- and I have a feeling that makes two of us.
I actually
do know what I'm talking about, and I reiterate my position. That PJ could ruin a Death Star.
Its squid missiles weapons devour alloys which have nothing to envy to the armours used in SW, so much that it could actually afford missing the hole.
Never mind, the squid-missiles have a maneuverability that's so silly good that getting them into that hole will be less problematic than it was for the Rebels.
Besides, these little ships can cloak, and they're versatile enough so that McKay could relatively easily swap the cloak system for:
- A battle shield.
- A large disintegrator field (the kind that defeats Replicators).
And McKay, with his boosted metabolism and brain functions, found a way to put a hyperdrive on them.
They've also been used to drop a present (they transported a bomb, dropped it inside a room and moved away).
If anything, they could simply mount a naqahdah missile rack in the aft compartment, open the rear door and shoot that thing down the hole.
The only issue is that the cloak needs to be dropped in order to fire the drones, but I believe it doesn't need to be explained why a single one of those things could fly unseen, stand right on top of the exhaust port, shoot whatever it needs to shoot, and buzz off.
