Well obviosly we've got an ion cannon, but getting the uplink up is a pain.  A giant gun is so much more fun.  Of course, if the brood develops a good way to counter supersonic aircraft or launch sattelite killers, the DPDS is even more screwed.<br/><br/>(Skyranger transports are most vulnurable while landing, therefore, they have several firing ports which can be opened during landing manuvers to repel attacks from dragons and such.)<br/><br/>Giant Mecha do sound like a good Idea though.  So I suppose the next time the DPDS gets to upgrade their weapons it'll be the megazord or vic viper.
