Editing Talk:Semi-Powered Infiltration armor

==Not waterproof but still useable in a vacum?==
That doesn't seem possible, the article says it is not waterproof and then it says it has air for seven minutes of breathing in a vacum. Is that an inconsistency in the books or is this just wrong information? [[User talk:FatalSnipe117|FatalSnipe117]] 01:08, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

:Possibly. Or it's also possible that it's a semi-permiable suit, that it would allow stuff in (like water) but not out (like air).--[[File:Emblem 1.jpg|20px]][[User:Rusty-112|<span style="background:blue; font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;color:white;">''' Rusty '''</span>]][[User talk:Rusty-112|<span style="background:blue; font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;color:red;">'''- '''</span>]][[UserWiki:Rusty-112|<span style="background:blue; font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;color:white;">'''112 '''</span>]]06:42, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

:I'm guessing that the suit is waterproof, and that the fact that Tom and Lucy sank in their armour was because the equipment took heavy damage and has multiple leaks. But it's just a theory, so I'll leave it off the article for now. {{Arby116Sig}}

:Personally I think it's one of two things. Either A) The 7 minutes of air isn't for a vacuum, but rather for underwater. Or B) That because Tom and Lucy's Armor had already sustained plenty of damage, let water in. [[User talk:OniLink|OniLink]] 01:48, 25 November 2010 (EST)

==Weight==
How much does this thing weigh? [[User:PX173|'''''PX''''']][[User_talk:PX173|''1'']]''7''[[Special:Contributions/PX173|''3'']] 12:24, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

==Marines==
Could Marines use this armor? Does it amplify strength like Mjolnir armor does. I know it doesn't have shields or the power of Mjolnir. [[User:SPARTAN-101|SPARTAN-101]] 15:02, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

==Strength & capabilities of SPI Armor==
Yes the SPI Armor enhances strength, speed, and agility but not to the same point as MJOLNIR Armor dose. So while a Spartan-II in MJOLNIR Armor could lift a Warthog over their head or rip open a reinforced metal door like it was made of paper, as demonstated in the beginning of Ghosts of Onyx, SPI Armor would enhance a Spartan-III's strength & speed to probally half that, on top of their augmentations. Most likely enough to lift and throw say a Elite, who would most likely weigh like 350-or-400 pounds, with ease and snap bones like twigs and dent metal with a single punch and dodge some weapons fire but not enough strength to say lift and flip a Warthog, at least not with out a assist from a team mate. Also 'Powered Armor' means armor that both protects a soldier from weapons fire and battle field hazards ''and'' ehances their physical attributes, at least that is how every form of powered armor works I have ever seen. I hope that explains some of the qustions here. [[User:ShadowedSpider]] 7:44 January 7, 2008

Where's your source that the SPI armour improves strength/agility at all? I've recently re-read Ghosts of Onyx and I couldn't find a single piece of evidence to support your conclusion. I've edited the page until you present proof/source. [[User talk:Baryon15|Baryon15]] 22:04, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

I think he's right. The armor is called Semi-POWERED Infiltration armor. Anyway, the augmentations alone would allow them to lift that much. Remember the Spartan-IIIs have basically the same augmentation as Spartan-IIs, the only difference was Gamma company's brain modifications. So if we look through Fall Of Reach we can see that "They can lift three times their body weight-- which, I might add, is almost double the norm due to their increased muscle density" Pg. 73 in FoR. Since the augmentation is similar, if not the same and you account for the Spartans young age they would be able to lift that much if not more.[[Special:Contributions/24.11.237.69|24.11.237.69]] 17:06, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

i agree, the s-III'S augmentations would let them say, bend/tear/dent metal, as evidenced when tom b292 ripped oper his drop pod in pegasi delta, they could rip a turret off its mountings, snap bones like twigs and with great effort, flip a warthog and lift and throw an elite

==CPO Mendez==
I don't understand, if the drill instructors can use it why doesn't CPO Mendez use it during the sentienal raid on onyx?--[[User:Irving|The Chazz]] 23:21, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
--Well thats really simple,CPO Mendez was in the watch tower during the time of attack,unable to get to the armor.--[[User:Mac10&Cheese|Mac10&amp;Cheese]] 15:14, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
== shields ==

do there suits have shields? [[User:Kami-Sama]]

No. but they have active-camouflage, rendering them nearly invisible. [[User:Specops306|Kora &#39;Morhekee]] 03:06, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

== ==
Added a link to SciFi-Meshes.com, a freaking spectactular job at rendering the SPI armor from the book! (Solidus117)

==picture==
Wouldn't the picture in the article be a Mk.2? It says unknown but when Kelly gets there, (the one in the Mjolnir mk IV) the S3's are beta compamy and they used Mk 2 SPi suits.

== Sources ==

I know that most, if not all, of this info is true so I won't put up the "Disputed Facts" template, but this page could use really some sources for confirmation. -- [[Image:Slizer.png|30px]] [[User:AlphaPrime|<b>Captain Obvious</b>]]<sup>[[User Talk:AlphaPrime|<i>"Thank you, Captain Obvious!"</i>]]<nowiki>||</nowiki><i>[[Special:Contributions/AlphaPrime|My Obvious Observations]]</i></sup> 04:52, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

The Halo 3 feture of the SPI armor. Does this mean a Mark III for sheilds would make Mjolnir VI and SPI equals?

Will the SPI armor in halo 3 have shields??? It would be cool if it had active camo AND shields, but then EVERYONE would use it...[[User:Iloveenergyswords|Iloveenergyswords]] 04:17, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
:A good idea, just have the shielding about the same as if you have a severe handicap on.

::It doesn't seem to be all SPI armour, just the helmet is the same. Anyway, armour customization allows you to mix and match parts of different variations of the MJOLNIR armour, so that could mean that there might be SPI armour pieces. like the helmet, or the Extra Vehicular Activity space-walk type mentioned in GoO, which might involve the completely dome shaped helmet with all gold visor?--[[User:Keyes|Keyes]] 07:38, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Infact if you look at the armor cutmization page. Bungie confirmed it at EVA [[User:65.87.44.196|65.87.44.196]] 09:59, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

SPI armour wouldn't fit into Halo 3. The reason being is that all armour permutations in Halo 3 have no effect on gameplay. The SPI armour doesnt have shields, and has active camo, giving it an advantage, and disadvantage, over the other armour.[[User:Ryan926|Ryan926]] 03:33, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

What chest armor would look most like it? EVA has head and shoulders covered.--[[User talk:Kamikaze14|Kamikaze14]] 13:03, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

You probably couldn't replicate it. It's an entirely different armor, even the gloves and leggings are different. Just look at the cover GoO and you can the the entirely different gloves. Really only the EVA helmet is the MJOLNIR variant that has any real similarity. But the most similar to the chest? I'd say CQB.

== Temwork Teamwork is bad? ==

Teamwork is listed as a disadvantage. Wouldnt this improve their performance.[[User:Dragonblaze-052|Dragonblaze-052]] 07:28, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

It says it requires more teamwork to defeat enemies, I'd say that's a bad thing. [User: Mr Spartan32] 13:36, 21 May 2009.

Well it's not necessarily a bad thing but it's saying that it would take more than one to complete tasks that a single Spartan-II could do in MJOLNIR. So say one Spartan-II could jump into a bunker and shoot down all the inhabitants. It's saying that it would likely take more Spartans-IIIs to do the same task.

==Diffenant Versions==

Does SPI Armor have diffenant versions,like Mark IV,V,VI have?

Example: EOD, Commando, EVA, stuff like that.

YakovSidorov 03:17, September 27, 2010 (UTC)YakovSidorov

I'm sure they did, but is just never shown.

:From Ghosts of Onyx, we know that there have been Mark I and II iterations. From the Headhunters motion comic, we also know that there are different variants of SPI, like MJOLNIR, illustrated particularly well [[:File:Headhunters.png|here]], though we don't know the names of each variant. -- [[User:Specops306|<b><font color=indigo>Specops306</font></b>]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>Qur'a 'Morhek</sup></font></i></u>]] 03:50, 30 August 2011 (EDT)

==Watertightness==
On page 252 of Ghosts of Onyx Liutenant Kurt Ambrose jumps into a river and stays there for some time; when he emerges, he has no complaints about waterlogging in his suit.  He was wearing SPI Mk.II at the time.  Should we take off that bit about the suit being non-airtight and non-watertight? --[[User talk:Bruce2401|Bruce2401]] 20:41, 14 May 2012 (EDT)

==Color sketch of SPI Armor==

Hey, I was just wondering, was this color sketch of the SPI Armor drawn by Isaac Hannaford? I'm led to believe so, since I remember seeing the cover of ''Halo: Ghosts on Onyx'' on his blog. I sent him a message requesting he somehow post a color sketch of the SPI Armor. But I don't know for sure. I don't know, maybe I just don't want to look stupid. Can anyone help me out here? Does anyone if Isaac Hannaford drew the color sketch of the SPI Armor? --[[User:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] ([[User talk:Xamikaze330|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|contribs]]) 19:59, 27 October 2012 (EDT)Xamikaze330

:(reset indent) Or not. Part of the SPI Armor color sketch in the ''Halo Encyclopedia'' is cut off on the edges of the pages. Damn, there goes that plan. Well, I still could theoretically go through with it, or I could put in a interlibrary loan request for the book and use that. And not forgetting that someone else who already owns the book itself could just go and do it themselves using a high-resolution printer-scanner or somesuch. Hate that the book is out of print.
