I wonder if they'd have been able to destroy the steltek drone without Burrows' help (assuming they actually caught up with the thing). I mean, obviously, in the game, you couldn't muster enough power on your own to deal with it until the gun got upgraded, but, an entire fleet? (or . . well . . maybe not THAT fleet . . . )
I'd like to see the steltek drone go against the Vesuvius (before it was destroyed, obviously) and the Midway simultaneously. And, perhaps, a Kitty dreadnaught (Wc3 era)
And, since I'm daydreaming, why not the Concordia (for the PTC) and, if that doesn't work, a long range shootout with the Behemoth (pre-boomboom). I'm pretty sure that, if nothing else, a shot from the Behemoth would fix the Steltek drone rather nicely.
