A large landing ship, the Fissure-Class drops out of orbit and hits the surface with the force of a large nuclear bomb. As it falls, it destroys enemy defensive weapons and ships near the landing site. Once landed, it deploys its fleet of 93 Revanants.

simple problem with this, it is utterly useless. one must question the need for a machine to be a transport if said machine wipes wout everything when it hits the ground. it should also be noted that with such a delivery mechanism, deploying even a dozen of these would probably cause a nuclear winter and mostly destroy the planet you were trying to conquer anyway

The Impactor absorbs most of the impact (no really). The Revanants are locked down by clamps but the scale is too small to show that. The Fissure is controled by AI as that is faster and more efficient and It's communition system, Stabalized Quark Pairing cannot be inturrepted unless the transceivers are destroyed.

probably too much work to do the straps. Also, this would be all AI based, since AIs are faster
-
in short, the landing will probably make everything not pinned down be destroyed and thrown everywhere.

question: if this is intended to be launched from a ship onto the planets surface at high speeds, wouldnt the ships inside be destroyed because they are not locked to the ground? and, i know these might be AI, but wouldnt you need someone in the ship to manage things incase the ship's communications break? so.. how would HE survive the fall... have you ever been in a car and someone pulls the breaks? the landing must be like that X1000

This is a trivial argument gone on far too long. Please stop.

Tangle, it's not that I'm so stupid. It's that I've only ever known of one ENIAC. Naming a spaceship after a computer isn't very smart when you have people who KNOW computers ask about it.

@crazysquid32 Nope. The fragments would be vaporized when they hit the cone of superheated air the Fissure-Class creates. Something with more velocity, like a railgun, would.

Weretyu777: Sorry about the confusion there. Then again, that would imply that when you first saw the Fissure-class, you thought a giant ravine was flying around...

Would a flak battery be able to damage one on its way down?
