Yeah, combat transporters crossed my mind...but that's way down the line.
Other crazy ideas I came up with:
*Death-sporing everyone (but that kinda ignores the Bulrathi ground invasion advantage, so unfun and unlikely, and it doesn't really rely on the RNG).
*Surprise-attacking the Alkari at a weakly-defended world like Gion (possibly even with nothing but transports?) and hoping that we get something nice from the tech loot, and then bracing for the hurricane while leveraging those new techs for a win? (Hey, we will probably be going to war with them anyways if we attack the Silicoids...)
*Leaving us all in suspense with this talk of crazy plans as a ruse while he calmly builds more missile bases and factories?
