      Probably a mix of overconfidence by the covenant commanders as well as underestimating the humans. I could see them thinking it a waste to use all that power against a weak opponent.

    • @autumngottlieb3071
      @autumngottlieb3071 3 роки тому +21

      I specifically used the word "all," which extends the statement to cover the scenes of the Great Schism in Ghosts of Onyx. And I believe this is the best example of why Warfleet's plasma torpedo values are BS. Let's take Warfleet's stats for the armament of the ORS-Class Heavy Cruiser and weigh them against the documented performance of the ORS Incorruptible in Ghosts of Onyx.
      In the first scenes involving the Incorruptible, the Sangheili-crewed heavy cruiser struggles against a pair of Covenant-built frigates that are under Jiralhanae control. The frigates stand up to the Incorruptible by maneuvering in such a way that they can take fire alternately, allowing one's shield to recharge while the other takes hits. Logically, this only works if one of the Jiralhanae frigates can survive multiple hits from their opponent.
      Now let us factor in the Warfleet data, which states that the Varric-Pattern ORS-Class Heavy Cruiser is armed with sixteen plasma torpedo silos. Sixteen plasma torpedoes is enough firepower to kill a Covenant frigate three or four times over, so if the data from Warfleet, a secondary source, is applied, the Incorruptible should have taken that engagement without breaking a sweat.
      The overconfidence argument is neutralized by the fact that a) they're not fighting humans, and b) the Incorruptible's shipmaster, Voro 'Mantakree, against whom hubris is the last accusation I would make.

    I've always assumed the engines were some sort of ion thruster engine, similar to the NASA hall truster. Accept in the covenants case they could utilise the plasma and electrons from the pinch reactor to provide the trust, they would only need to separately provide the electromagnetic field to direct the plasma out of the engines.

      @Lurking Carrier Idk, Stormtroopers do well against enemies that don't have plot armor while the Covenant often gets beat in ground combat by the UNSC, Troopers in comparison have better weapons and armor (for this engagement, not in general)
      Stormtrooper armor has really good protection against plasma weaponry unlike the UNSC and they use plasma guns too that would make short work of Elite's shields.

    How come does it seem that UNSC reactors are more powerful then the actual weapons like the Orbital Mac Guns? You can see them destroy Forerunner super structures and even Cortana in Halo 2 claimed that the UNSC frigate can destroy both High Charity and the ring at the same time.
    I wonder why she didn't detonate it when the Flood took over the place that would of destroyed the Gravemind and the ships inside it after Master Chief left on the Keyship.

      I think the flood may have deactivated the reactor. Another thing is if the reactors from one of the smallest UNSC ship class were powerful enough to take out High Charity, why didn’t they just rig a few slipspace bombs to take out the covenant fleets?

      That was the plan, Gravemind “convinced” her not too.. (probably by using a early form of the logic plague)
      Think of a Reactor as a Super Nuke, even a small reactor produces & can release huge amounts of energy.. Also need to remember that High Charity has its own larger Reactors that would of went critical upon the detonation of the Amber Clad’s..
      Also MACs only need reactor power to charge the electromagnetic coils in its “barrel” so they use only a relatively small amount of power (based on size of MAC & reactor itself)

      While it certainly seems a bit ridiculous but there is a way that works. Though I don't think it would be powerful enough to take out a halo and high charity. The reactor is saturated with fuel as well as it's fuel lines. Moving all of the fuel as close to the reactor as possible. When the reactor explodes it triggers a far more massive explosion as large amounts of its fuel supply undergoes fusion. I still doubt this would be enough to take out both High charity and a halo at the same time, unless for some reason high charity happens to be within a couple hundred kilometers of the ring. Given that there was a flood infestation on the ring they likely would have been atleast a few thousand kilometers away to allow for flood infected ships to be intercepted. It could certainly take a large enough chunk out a halo or high charity to cripple or destroy it. As for why they never used it in battle, I would assume just as with the Pillar of Autumn it would take several minutes for the reactor to build up to critical, and the covenant are certainly not going allow that to happen near their fleet. Without build up time the reactor won't be able to cause large amounts of its fuel to go fusion, so at best it might only take out a few ships near it. Now with pinpoint slipspace jumps that would be a valid tactic as you could exit slipspace near enemy ships with a meager 10 seconds or so left.

    We don't see Seraphs in the hanger bays, so I think they have essentially launch tubes, where they're fired out like rockets, and land inside at low speed. It also allows to deploy fightercraft in literally all directions, and take them back in for repairs anywhere on the ship instead of them potentially being shot down on rout to the hanger bay
    The Truth and Reconciliation is a prototype ship, that along with testing the Covenant AI seen in the CE Terminals (That later probably moved to the Ascendant Justice for flood reasons), had a unique layout, and the CCS we see in the Deliver Hope trailer was the stock one, which along with having a large gravity lift bay room, also had a symmetrical design, with the CIC not being offset or directly connected to a hanger bay
    The sizeup still happens, but the extra space is used for Seraph moorings, stock rooms, and crew quarters

    I think the gravity lift is quite easy to explain:
    The emitter on the bottom of the ship is able to deconstruct and reconstruct material, probably on a sub-atomic level. The multiple gravity lift platforms inside do the same. By switching priority between them, the ship is able to continuously move personnel and equipment while one is being loaded, increasing the overall efficiency.
    When used as a weapon, a large amount of plasma material is being released the same way, which is then discharged, using the gravity lift to focus and slow it down, to maximize the damage.

    One thing I always wondered: on the rare chances that a larger Covenant ship was destroyed... Why didn't the UNSC scavenge the armor plating left of the derelict to use to prop up the armor of their ships? I mean, Covenant nanolaminate is ridiculously tough stuff. And, sure, the amount of destroyed ships that you could recover from wasn't that many, but when you DID get a derelict Covenant ship, considering the size, you also had a ton of potential armor you could use. And it's not like you have to clad the entirety of a ship in the armor to see benefits - just the most crucial areas and weakspots. Better than nothing...

    I'm certain the repulsor engine is a misnomer, clearly, the engine nozzles produce reaction mass and expel plasma. I believe they are instead more closely related to impulse engines, where advanced gravitics are still utilized, but there are traditional reaction mass rockets involved. This also explains the quantum fluctuations bit, as impulse drives produce dark energy aft of the ship in order to expand space in the rear, whilst the nose of the vessel produces a gravitational field in front of the ship. Practically identical tech to seraph fighters or the impulse engines of star trek.
    True repulsor engines are what forerunner sentinels and monitors use (even though those are also labeled as impulse engines), as well as numerous forerunner ships that expel no apparent reaction to achieve thrust.

    It occurred to me that while having the big plasma lance on the dorsal side seems like it heavily limits its firing arc, since its plasma and guided by magnetic fields, it probably actually has a very large firing arc not limited by its positioning on the ship. It doesn't have to move in a straight line.

    Awesome video as always Installation00! Though the only thing that bothers me in this video is your interpretation on how repulse drives work. The method you described (gravity well in front which the ship falls into) doesn't really make much sense in a physics point of view. The best analogy I can think of is trying to move a sailing ship with a large fan. The wind is there and the sheets are billowing, but the ship isn't moving. This is due to the fact that the fan is bolted to the deck and thus cancels out any forward momentum; if the fan isn't bolted on, the fan will fly off the deck. What the drive could possibly be is a form of non-FTL Alcubierre drive, causing space to expand in the back and space to compress in the front. Let me know what you think!
