Sarcastic question regarding the Hirogen

Like I said...it's a sarcastic question. When did the Hirogen become a race of SCIENTISTS? All of their ships are extremely science oriented. Even their small escorts have science abilities that NO escort should have. I watched Voyager a few times through...I don't remember mention of them being anything other than hunters..

    Well, a good hunter understands his/her prey, and since they're hunting space ships and entities that use energy weapons they'd have to be fairly science-oriented.

    They use technical prowess to overpower their prey so they can savour their hunt.

    No pew pew DPS type nonsense that ends everything if a few seconds because that is no fun.

    The best weapon of a good huntsman is his mind

    Science can catch any prey!

    "He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
    Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
    he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
    In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
    He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
    He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
    He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
    He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."

    Hirogen make me laugh they are supposed to be the ultimate Predator clones, the best hunters, yet even their mines have to cloak.

    Why are they so afraid of everything?

    Looking at the way they actually act in STO, more of a sneaky avoiding conflict unless they have the obvious upper hand method, using Science ships makes sense to study the prey before attacking.

    The Hirogen was originally an advanced civilization before they decide to focus all their efforts on the hunt. So all the mental effort they originally put towards medicine, science, and other forms of research is now dedicated to finding the best ways to hunt.

    The best way appears to be hiding on things until they can deploy maximum debilitating debuffs, sounds like a science ship attack method to me.
