Yet another strategy to employ. This reminds me of Loteus' "turkey drop" strat, involving strapping a chaingun to a turkey and dropping it from a very great height so that it can take out all the hawks on the way down. I vote we take a bunch of Auroras, replace the engines/cargo/thrusters/missiles with very large guns, throw some people in the cockpits, and drop them out of a Bengal from just above the atmosphere. That way if there's a fight happening in-atmosphere they can take out all the enemies on the way down, and still act as bombs once gravity takes hold!
