:::Also, ''Infinity'' probably wasn't willing to stick around within spitting distance of the absurdly powerful Forerunner flagship; Lasky took enough of a risk when getting that close and had to bail out before the Didact actually started paying attention to him. It's a mystery why ''Infinity'' and the rest of Battlegroup Dakota (or for that matter, the Chief's Broadsword) weren't blown out of the sky in a microsecond or so, but maybe the Didact, in his insane, villainous impracticality didn't even consider them threats and would've dealt with them last - after he had casually composed all of Earth with several hours of concentrated fire from the UNSC fleet having absolutely no effect. There's also a theory around that the Librarian severely downgraded the weaponry of the ''Mantle's Approach'' to give humanity any semblance of a fighting chance if her plan with the Didact didn't work out. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 00:54, 16 October 2013 (EDT)

::::Let's not forget the placement of the nuke that destroyed it - it was right in the heart of the ship, right near a slipspace generator, carried there by Broadsword and by foot. I doubt a ship-launched nuke could have penetrated that deeply, or that strategically vital a place. -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 15:32, 16 October 2013 (EDT)

:::It didn't seem that deep. In fact, it looks like the Composer was right near the front of the ship, in order to gain the closest firing range. The "roof" was even open. Next to a slipspace generator is a true point, though, but both it and the Composer were still close to the surface.

Or just by chance, look at all the roles the voice actor has had. The ship is meant to inspire fear and Keith Szarabajka has the voice to do reflect the evil ship captain. Just because there are similarities in two franchise does not mean they are a nod. In both Halo and Mass Effect there have been extincting cycles which does not mean they are connected.

We have the Z-8250 light artillery labeled as the light-mass fusillade cannons in the weaponry section. When they are more likely the 5th level weapons described in the H4EVG. I imagine the heavy anti-ship weapons and the light artillery are part of the same anti-ship system. Whereas fusillade cannons imply something a lot larger than piddly aa guns. Especially since the weapons ranked below them are the frigate vaporizing particle cannons... Thoughts?
