== Turbolaser-esque weaponry? == | == Turbolaser-esque weaponry? == | ||
I was just watching ''The Package'' again on YouTube ('''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvHAoKei3wI here]'''), when noticed something quite odd with the laser fire coming from the ''Seraph''-class Starfighters. As seen at the end of ''The Package'', the Seraphs are depicted as firing two high recognizable purple plasma cannons. Though when the UNSC Stealth ship removes it's cloaking field, you can magically see blue-ish lasers coming from the bow of the ship. Unless each Covenant starfighter has customizable features, the only reasonable explanation is that the Human stealth ship has some sort of backwards-engineered plasma weaponry, or the ''Halo'' universe's version of ''Star Wars''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> "Turbolasers". | I was just watching ''The Package'' again on YouTube ('''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvHAoKei3wI here]'''), when noticed something quite odd with the laser fire coming from the [[Seraph-class Starfighter|''Seraph''-class Starfighters]].

Seems like the late '30s to '40s were pretty good to the Office of Naval Intelligence in terms of new technology. | Seems like the late '30s to '40s were pretty good to the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] in terms of new technology. | ||

We know that normal Prowlers had laser turrets in the '30s. I would imagine that whatever this ship is would have a similar system, if not improved - and as a prototype ship, it may very well have used plasma weapons. On the subject of turbolasers, the retroactive science behind them never made actual sense to me. But thats a post for another time, and another namespace... -- <b>[[Halopedia:Administrators|<font color=indigo>Administrator</font>]] [[User:Specops306|<font color=indigo>Specops306</font>]]</b> - <i><b><u>[[User Talk:Specops306|<font color=blue>Qur'a 'Morhek</font>]]</u></b></i> 06:50, December 16, 2009 (UTC) | We know that normal Prowlers had laser turrets in the '30s.

I know it is no way even mentioned but i think the ship may have been equipped with a Nova bomb[s]. I re-watched this episode recently and the Captain of the ship says to MC, when asked what happens when they run out of time, that he would be forced to destroy the Covenant fleet. Now this is more than likely just my brain trying to rationalise what is most probably just sloppy research on the writers part; but a Nova bomb is the only thing i can think of other than there being a fleet with a ratio of 10:1 of those ships in hiding that would make such a statement make sense. Otherwise that Captain was smoking some good weed and he thought that it was the Covenant who needed a 4:1 advantage in space combat. Conjecture or trivia section for a note on this? | I know it is no way even mentioned but i think the ship may have been equipped with a Nova bomb[s].

:They might have planned to lay a nuclear mine field. The HORNETs laid by the ''Dusk'' took out many Covenant vessels at Onyx, so it's possible. Then again, they might have used lots of Shivas. Personally, I think a NOVA would be enormous overkill. I do agree that it's ludricous for a single non-combat-oriented ship to wipe out an entire Covenant fleet. Maybe they planned to make a run against the flagship and do whatever damage they could before they were vaporized. Besides, I'm sure they considered it more important to either rescue Halsey or ''permanently'' keep her out of Covenant hands than to destroy around a dozen ships, as Halsey's capture was a much greater threat to the UNSC. Therefore, maybe the commander meant, "We'll neutralize the package and do whatever damage we can," rather than saying they would destroy the fleet. Nonetheless, I don't think it's worth mentioning in the trivia section. --[[User talk:Braidenvl|"Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have." -Thomas Jefferson]] 17:13, August 8, 2010 (UTC) | :They might have planned to lay a nuclear mine field.

::Remember also that the solar phenomenon that was blocking the Covenant's slipspace drive, trapping them in-system, was also interfering with their shields.
