The KH2 isn't that far from the ship. It runs on beamed power and it's mentioned somewhere that it dodges in and out of the shelter of the wedge in combat.

Plus the Keyhole platforms mount 32-48 PD clusters. Has its own wedge as well.

Where you are getting your numbers for PDLCs on a KHII? |

And where the hell are you getting the notion that it has its own wedge? I know it's not from anything I've written, anyway! "Oh, bother!" said Pooh, as Piglet came back from the dead. |

Actually, I'm afraid you did. http://infodump.thefifthimperium.com/en ... gton/166/1 says that they have "the same impeller drive which was developed for the Ghost Rider recon drones, but that capability is purely secondary." But even if it does have that wedge, it is true that normally the wedge is not raised. It is easier to maneuver the Keyhole with tractors so it doesn't have to raise its own wedge and block three-quarters of its view. --------------------------------------------

Hah, that has to sting a bit... But the whole point of keyhole is to get past the wedge interference. Adding wedges of their own would either 1) block transmission from the ship, or 2) Suffer the same wedge interference the ship has. All depending on the keyholes orientation. I would guess the info dump is wrong. Considering it is a 2009 dump and we have not heard about it in the books since... |

oh so funny. Would have been with anyone, but with Lord Skimper? I actually fell off my chair. Has the entire Lord Skimper thing been an epic ploy building up to just this moment? Please say yes! -------------------------------

Alas, no. I . . . miss-spoke. What happens sometimes when you respond to a post without checking your notes first. There were several iterations of Keyhole between the official I and II, and I misremembered where I'd come down on the final version. Apologies. I'm, sure it will happen again sometime.

I have no idea how you have kept things as consistent as you have done over so long. Much as we whine about details, the overall integrity of even the details is amazing.
