I really don't want hear 'Sometimes the old ways etc' again and am reasonably relieved that I didn't hear a Martinez or Chen. This could have been a better story but for the fact that the idiot Commander allowed one of the Swarm ships attacked at first contact to escape and tell his (adaptive) buddies how to defend against kinetics. That sort of tactical blunder will have you removed from command faster than any railgun projectile can move. Stop the formulaic approach and stop regurgitating old material.
So, what? Do a bunch of you get together and share all the same story ideas to be regurgitated en mass like diarrhea splattered across the interwebs after ending a night of drinking thinking “Taco Bell” “yeah” Each one a little different than the last but diarrhea all the same.
