There's that of course. I was thinkin about the whole fleet flying over
cloudcover on a moonless night. Propably plenty of orlanthi/uroxi senses
screaming anyway several miles in every direction. Stealth is pahaps not
the Lunar way.
Also I prefer the "killable" bat of Dragon Pass boardgame to the one in
RQ-3 writeup. Sure it's a monster, but it's a bit boring if it can win
any war all by itself.
