      Yeah, that way lies Beserkers. A fully automated shipyard smart enough to operate independently might be smart enough to overcome it's loyalty programming. If it decides it's own survival or creating more droid ships is more important than your military objectives, you have a problem. If it sees your commands as an attempt to divert it from it's new goals, or as a threat to it's existence, then you have a bigger problem.

Then turn off the fuel and then, it’ll be able to fall perpetually. Then, when you gain enough force, nudge the rocket in the right direction and it’ll reach Mars or some shit.

      How does the saying go, "Quantity has a quality all it's own." And frankly, robots are cheap, without a flesh and blood living being to die, war weariness is relatively low, and while that story claims that AI units had the potential to rebel, two factors prevented this, first being that most fleets described where suicide fleets meant to bezerk and kill as much as possible before dying, so AI wouldn't really have the chance to rebel. Second would be that even if the AI revolted, they where effectively stuck in enemy territory and would only pose a threat to the original opponent they where meant to fight anyway.

    depending on their communication abilities, in theory there's no realistic reason any of dave's scouting ships couldn't have upgraded themselves along the way if they were traveling slower than light, each asteroid belt/field passed on the way could easily provide the materials necessary, and assuming they had the diagnostic systems necessary for automated repair systems to be effective, the journey alone could provide the data on wear and points of failure/weaknesses necessary to not only upgrade the existing scouts but improve the strength and efficiency of future generations of scouts

Those selfsame devices were machines that refined the various ores around them, creating structures and workers to essentially infect/assimilate enemy worlds into the collective.
      The generation ships were filled with his organic populations(people, animals, plants, etc) to "move in" to the worlds conquered by his infectious munitions.

      an issue there is that a big part of why his strategy worked so well is that no one expected it or did anything to counter an unconventional strategy. If he had forced everyone to try to solve the same problem as him it might have caused people to develop the same idea and realize what he was doing. At a minimum it would take the situation he was in, the slumbering titan disguised as an underdog, into an even playing field.

      Actually no, Dave's answer to facing the massive and advanced tanks was to use the little panzer bombs from the second world war. Cheap easily built and requiring no staff whatsoever, a single unit had no chance... But he never worked in single units. Against a single suicide charge the m1 Abrams is effectively immortal. When surrounded by a half dozen charges each planning on going off at the same time... Not so much. No matter how powerful your tank, how thick your armor, or how fast you are, when your enemy has five bullets for every one of your soldiers, eventually every one of your soldiers will be dead.
