The swarms of Gorn “fighters” also reminds me of the old text-based BBS door game, “TradeWars 2002”. Your star ship’s offensive power was rated by how many drones you had around you. No lasers, phasers, missiles or bombs.

"So it is with the conflicting emotions of satisfaction and pity that I say unto thee: I. Told. You. So. I told you so, said I. There be signs in the heavens and portents of doom, said I. Woe be unto he that ignores the omens, for I say unto thee, thou shalt be lost in the final reckoning." [Niven]
