:They're UAVs. They're contiuosly referred to as "Drones" in the game, also stated in the Art fo Halo 3. But they are remote-controlled by actual people. So that's probably what Dutch's referring to.--[[User talk:Jugus|Jugus]] 22:26, September 15, 2009 (UTC) | :They're UAVs.

:It appears in a Halo 3 multiplayer map and in Halo 3: ODST. So, no, it shouldn't be under "Deleted Content" any longer. --[[User talk:TDSpiral94|TDSpiral94]] 22:15, September 20, 2009 (UTC) | :It appears in a Halo 3 multiplayer map and in Halo 3: ODST.

Is this a UAV or a UCAV? As I understand it, they are two radically different types of craft, sharing only the fact that they are unmanned. -- <b>[[Halopedia:Administrators|<font color=indigo>Administrator</font>]] [[User:Specops306|<font color=indigo>Specops306</font>]] - ''[[User Talk:Specops306|<font color=blue>Qur'a 'Morhek</font>]]'' <sup>''[[halofanon:Operation: HOT GATES|<u><font color=purple>Honour Light Your Way!</font></u>]]''</sup></b> 01:50, September 19, 2009 (UTC) | Is this a UAV or a UCAV?

It's called the Drone Fighter in Halo 3 ODST. That's the only name official "canon" name that has been given to it. I've renamed the page, lol. Buck calls them "drones" in game, and when you inspect its optics, it says "Hold RB to inspect [[Drone Fighter]] optics.

Also, it is never confirmed that they are still unmanned, during the concept it was, but no longer, because of Dutch's remark. | Also, it is never confirmed that they are still unmanned, during the concept it was, but no longer, because of Dutch's remark. | ||
:The fact that they're ''drones'' would be a pretty big hint. As per Jugus, too many sources refer to them as such. Dutch may have been referring to their Carrier-based remote pilots. -- <b>[[Halopedia:Administrators|<font color=indigo>Administrator</font>]] [[User:Specops306|<font color=indigo>Specops306</font>]] - ''[[User Talk:Specops306|<font color=blue>Qur'a 'Morhek</font>]]'' <sup>''[[halofanon:Operation: HOT GATES|<u><font color=purple>Honour Light Your Way!</font></u>]]''</sup></b> 12:41, September 23, 2009 (UTC) | :The fact that they're ''drones'' would be a pretty big hint.

Name on official source that names them F99s or Wombats. The only time they appear in Halo canon is in Halo 3: ODST, and they are referred as Drone Fighters.

I fixed the redirect from F99 Wombat to here, it was redirecting to Drone Fighter, which redirects here, which I'm sure most of you know doesn't exactly work.[[ | I fixed the redirect from F99 Wombat to here, it was redirecting to Drone Fighter, which redirects here, which I'm sure most of you know doesn't exactly work.[[w:c:templarsoftwilight:user:Kahn iceay|Kahn Iceay]] 21:52, September 26, 2009 (UTC) | ||

The dimensions match most small fighter jets like the F-16 and the F-20 and of course those are smaller then a Pellican so I'm pretty sure these would be around the size of a present day jet fighter[[User talk:Derekproxy|Derekproxy]] | The dimensions match most small fighter jets like the F-16 and the F-20 and of course those are smaller then a Pellican so I'm pretty sure these would be around the size of a present day jet fighter[[User talk:Derekproxy|Derekproxy]] | ||

While I know that the ''Halo Encyclopedia'' is chock full of a few misspellings, as well as a few items forgotten, and I do hope the updated ''Halo Encyclopedia'' has it plus everything else forgotten, but I at least expected the ''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide'' to have an entry on this vehicle, but it didn't. I'd like to know more than what we have here, but there isn't any further information. Why is this? Is it because the F99 UCAV doesn't play a very big role in ''Halo 3: ODST''? And, what are its primary roles? Is it ever used by anyone, if not by the player? And I'd also to like to know, that since it is called a UCAV, it must have weapons. If so, what kind of weapons? Machine guns and missiles? Why is there so little information regarding these important questions? Does an employee from Bungie or 343i have any information to offer?

:I agree. No source has stated that the drone is a UCAV, aside from ''"Hold RB to inspect Drone Fighter optics,"'' which, of course, is a gameplay convention. It seems to be a normal, unarmed UAV. On a similar note, why is the drone referred to as the F99? That designation comes from concept art, but the drone has not been referred to as such in any canon source. --[[User talk:Braidenvl|Courage never dies.]] 19:33, 26 September 2011 (EDT) | :I agree.
