:VTOL?? These ships clearly are not VTOL. I mean, if they did, they'd have some kind of downward-facing turbine, rotor blade, or something! Those engines are like the engines on a jet cargo/passenger liner, or a space shuttle of sorts. A jet liner needs a runway to take off; a space shuttle is a little bit different in that it must "blast off" vertically into space, but aesthetically almost same configuration. These ships probably use Reach's gravity to "slingshot" through the atmosphere and into space, all while horizontal. Backwards thrust, not downwards. --[[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 15:05, 24 November 2011 (EST)Xamikaze330

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7UzARs2Y7A&t=1m52s Watch the scene again.] It clearly rises into the air without the need of a runway. And without propellors, just like [[UNSC frigate]]s.

:I can see that. But just as you said, they are like UNSC frigates, which is definitely a starship. If they have specialized VTOL engines like on the UNSC Frigate, then they must use them only, and I stress ''only'', for take-off. And it seems to me that these ships have certain starship characteristics common in most human-designed starships in ''Halo''. Correct me if I'm wrong, which I very much doubt, but it does seem to me that it does have a somewhat thicker hull, indication of what suggests an internal pressurized atmosphere that would be used for most starships, not just spacecraft in general. Besides, ''Halo'' is science fiction, so therefore spacecraft become spaceships or starships. --[[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 13:15, 28 November 2011 (EST)Xamikaze330
