Sorry I haven't been here for a few hours, I was trying to respond to the last two posts before my last and my computer first had massive lag and them froze. And I would like to thankJosef086 and Orodum for taking the lead for the Covenant armada will I was fighting with my PC. I'll be back in a bit after I can test to make sure it won't freeze again. This has been a UNSC transmission.

[quote] So it would take more then one to torpedo to take down a covie ship. We know that the torpedos are more powerful then phasers. We don't have a figure for the power of a plasma torpedo but I would assume that it out classes the star trek ones in power. Now it could also just be that covie sheilds are weak agaist plasma regardless of how powerful it is. [/quote] Yes, it comes down to range and speed which Covi plasma torpedos have both of. There is one weakness they could use, b

Thank you for the data Josef086, one of the only things besides how much an isoton is will be how small the planet is that is can destroy. Also, what if thw planet is like some asteroids can be and is a rubble heap just held togather by gravity? I can't remeber which, but wasn't one of Neptune's moons shattered and able to pull it's self back togather? So since half of the blast would be away from the ship the would be about 32 megatons against the ship, and tell me if I'm wrong, I just

And here's the fire power of a Super MAC from Halopedia, I'm just going to put up a small part of it, just to much stuff to put up. Quote. which equals appoeximately 5867.5 Gigatons of TNT. This is far in excess of the combined energy of the world's current nuclear arsenal, and a wolley from the 20 MACs in orbit arounf Reach have an equivalent impact energy to meteorite that caused the Chicxulub crater. This is powerful enough to penetrate and destroy most fully shielded Covenant warships. By

[quote]if the Borg are so powerful than why can't they conquer about 150 planets? they have[/quote] So when did they conquer the Federation then? I know that the Borg are the most powerful after the Q in ST. I read at the site that haS a link was given for on page one here that one Cube took out 39 out 40 ships at Wolf 359, IS THAT THE RIGHT STAR? If they have thousands of ships and one can do that then why don't they send, say

Also, in The Fall of Reach the captain of a UNSC frigate said that it would take them an hour to enter firing range with an enemy about 80 million kilometers away. Page 104. This has been a UNSC transmission.

[/quote][quote]hey psychoak, i think you need to relax a bit. where are you getting the idea that everything in halo ship-wise is slow? Did you play the games? in Halo 2 In Amber Clad accelerated faster than ive ever seen a ST ship. mobility always has a place in warfare, weapons as we know them take time to reach a target, the farther away the more time it takes. so you can shoot the legs off a ant on the other end of the solar system IF the ant didnt move at all. oh and before i forge

Ok, I'm sorry about all I just said that was insulting. I was just in a very bad mood after having to restart the computer a thousand times and having lag that is like going to a star at 55 MPH. I am very sorry, really. I was a jerk, but please, give me sources and data to back this up. This has been a UNSC Nova level priority transmission. Sorry.

Edit: As I say in my post after this I am sorry for being so hot headed. Please read the post after this, I have been a jerk with this post. Sorry. Sincerely, GrandAdmiralSova117. [quote]This is like talking to a wall. I obviously have a mental defect to be continuing. Capital ships in Star Trek move faster than fighters in Halo, no speed advantage there. Star Trek doesn't use fighters too often because when you can hit a dime from the other side of a planet, yo

[quote]Anyway, the Federationwould most definitely win due to their superior technology in general. Not to mention their ingenuity. That is something the Covenant most definitaly lack, seeing as they use the same brute force tactics they use conventional conflicts against powerful guerilla style attacks from Spartan II's. Notice how ST captains always seem to beam aboard and destroy some critical system that allows them to win a single ship engagement. How many soldiers can the covenant possi

[quote]UNSC vs ST, I think I would go with star trek. The star trek weapons can do some pretty heavy damage to unshielded ships. I think the UNSC ships can damage star trek ships but I think it would kind of like the covenaunt with the federation having the upper hand. UNSC would need the numbers game to win. (other races likewise) Agaist covenaut, I think the federation is the underdog in ship to ship combat. Not only do they have large shielded capitals but they also

[quote]If an excessively slow ship in atmosphere, where it's even slower, can dodge them, a vastly more maneuverable Federation ship can too. That they're larger is irrelevant, they can displace more area just fine on account of their speed. A perk of not being stuck in the, comparatively, technological dark ages and using fusion power plants. UNSC ships, even the fast little ones, are really, really slow. You're processing the logic when you mention an ISD hitting asteroids, but not fighters

Halopedia data on Covenant Orbital Bombardment. Quote: The term Glassing, is also known as Plasma Bombardment or Orbital Bomdardment, is used to refer to the act by which a Covenant ship or ships bombard a planet from orbit using their Plasma Weaponry. The superheated plasma "bolts" discharged, striking the surface and converting the top soil and other surgace geology into a called lechatelierite that is similar to glass, hence it's name. The process also vaporizes any bodies of water the pla

[quote]ST ships can fire weapons while travelling at warp, from what I understand at least, which gives them a major advantge over the covenant and the UNSC, which dont have the capability to do so. Star Trek technology also has branched out in a lot of different ways than the technology of Halo has gone. For example, in the latest movie, the Vulcans have knowledge of how to create artificial black holes and in the Wrath of Khan, the federation was working on creating a "genesis de

[quote]if we are comparing ships, I have comments since I don't know the fire power of the Halo ships but reading what is being said here, it isn't that powerful.[/quote] Covenant ships are very powerful, their plasma torpedos can melt through just about anything, their pulse laser turrets( if I remeber correctly) can shoot down about six dozen missiles, and the Energy Projejectors can take down most shields in one hit and gut any unshield ships in the way. Plasma torpedos move at 150

[quote]Why do so many people assume the Covenent is some invincable juggernaught? Honestly, I see no major advantage for either side. Now, although nobody seems to know how many covenent ships there are, has anyone ever heard of them BUILDING any? Star Treck has several references to their shipyards and the federation can build new ships at a fairly fast rate, so unless someone has some "facts", stop making rediculous statements. Quotes and jokes are fine.[/quote] I now the Covenant i

[quote]Dropships can dodge plasma torpedoes being fired from orbit, at sublight speeds, in atmosphere. Plasma torpedoes are also not some amazing weapon of vast strength. The guestimates on output are double digit megatons. Less depressing than against ISD's with turbo laser batteries that don't hit anything, but still well within range of Star Trek damage outputs. This means your one shot kill UNSC ships are also one photon torpedo kill UNSC ships, and your Covenant s

[quote]Teh fuck? I've heard of Metroid vs Halo and Star Trek vs Star Wars.....but this....Halo is not even in the same league as Star Trek.[/quote] Not in the same league? Star Trek has never been shown to build a space city half the size of the DS 2, this city is the Covenant Holy City of Hight Charity, which is at max guarded by 2500 ships from hundreds of SSD size Super Carriers and smaller Cruisers. They have never built giant rings that can KILL ALL LIFE IN THE GALAXY! They would

[quote]Even if they had weaponry capable of wearing down Federation shielding, they could be systematically wiped out without any resistance just by popping in, blowing the planet to kingdom come, and moving onto the next target before the UNSC ships have even turned to face them. Warp 9.9 is 120,000 times the speed of light.[/quote] I agree that the UNSC in space is going to have a hard time, but your forgeting the 800 pound gorilla in the corner that will steamroll through any

I hear Borg wanking is illegal in most industrialized nations. Will that dons't seem to stop them from doing it. [quote]no contest? [/quote] Will I think it will interesting how they try and get around the Forerunner Dreadnought and other ST crushing things. [quote]How about the borg vs the flood? [/quote] Yes, the Borg are the only threat the Covenant and Flood. But I go with the Flood, they can turn any lifeform into a combat form in seconds. So I hav

I just got this idea from one about Sins. Here's some I just thought up. You learn to play all the Halo games with your feet and beat it on legendary. You go to Kenya and dig up the portal to the Ark. You write in big letters on the side of your house:" UNSC HQ. Let the jokes begin!

I can't believe I did not think of this before. Nearly all non-humans in the Empire's one millions systems hate them for the way they are treated. The Covenant's anti-human poilcy would win it a lot of support in at least the Outer Rim and some of the 11 million systems not under Imperial control. Anything that looks to much like a human is toast. They just absorb them as they have others. This gives them the tech and resources to truly battle the Empire. All these races would would

And as seen in the games the Energy Sword can kill in one or two hits. Now back to the plasma torpedo. Max speed of 150000 kilometers per-second based on data from The Fall of Reach, now these speeds would seem to me to put plasma torpedos in the million of kilometers weapons range. But once again just how long to get to this velocity? If this is the speed from the moment it is launched than it is incorret, because if the a UNSC ship can out run it for a short time, than just how

[quote]The aggressor class star destroyer was quite interesting ship. Further note proton torpedos have quite a farther range than a turbolaser[/quote] Good morning. Yes, it was an interesting ship. But if we go with 150000 kilometers per-second for plasma torpedos then this is giving it a greater range than the Energy Projector. So should we go with this long range or with it being a mistake the author made? [quote]not actualy coz the master chief has shieldi
