| | ''Mythos'' (p132) says the ship has repulsor engines. ''H4 EVG'' identifies them as "XR2 Boglin Fields: S81/X-DFR". Assuming DFR refers to "deuterium fusion reactor" (which we have assumed so far) it seems somewhat out of place for engines so technologically different to be grouped in the same category as humanity's more conventional fusion thrusters. In all fairness, it could be that the engines use repulsor technology and only derive their power from deuterium-deuterium reactors, while the "X" before the "DFR" could indicate "experimental" or "xeno" or something similar. --[[User:Jugus|Jugus]] ([[User talk:Jugus|talk]]) 02:53, 12 October 2016 (EDT) |

| I'm sorry, but I don't see how this could have been made already. First of all, the first time they have ever even seen Forerunner technology was just 4 (or so) months ago when Cortana came back to Earth. Second, humanity and ONI are now just jumping on the idea of '''Covenant''' technology, the technology that Cortana brought back, that the Separatists are showing them, and the amount they have been able to reverse-engineer; much less something like Forerunners. Third, Cortana only brought back software, and they have only been able to see actual Forerunner hardware on Trevelyan. Fourth, ships take a long time to make, I don't care if you're talking about a super-advanced Covenant warship or a UNSC battle-cruiser. Ships take a LONG time to make. So I don't see how they could have constructed anything in that time.
| |
|
| |
|
| So I have a few theories. Maybe this originally started out as the UNSC just building an experimental really-awesome, super huge and super powerful warship.. But then after they started discovering Covenant technology (i.e., incorporating plasma hand-held weapons on a large scale), they changed it from just a really strong warship, to a place to test out their attempts at reverse engineering Covenant technology on a large scale (and stuff like the Ascendant Justice helped speed that along quite well). Then, after they got the Halo data, they changed it from a Covenant reverse-engineering project to a Forerunner data incorporation program.
| | ::Ah, I'd forgotten about that schematic. Given that "repulsor engine" is a proper in-universe term for Covenant-style drives, I doubt it's simply a descriptor. I suspect it's a semi-retcon to make the ''Infinity'''s engines out to be more advanced, though it's not too much of a stretch to assume the deuterium reactors only serve as the power plants rather than expelling their fusion exhaust for thrust like in traditional human drives. It's still surprisingly low-tech seeing as the slipspace drive is apparently powered by a vacuum energy siphon (also per ''Mythos''), but it's possible they couldn't rig that to power the sublight drives since the indication is that they essentially just strapped a Forerunner drive to the ship and are lucky even that works as well as it does. --[[User:Jugus|Jugus]] ([[User talk:Jugus|talk]]) 13:08, 12 October 2016 (EDT) |
|
| |
|
| So the way I picture Infinity is not a well uniformed, perfectly functional Forerunner warship. Rather a clunky, very jumbled piece of ship-ery. With some parts being advanced human warship, some parts being attempted Covenant reverse engineering, and some (probably the smallest, read my first reason in the first paragraph) parts being attempted reverse-enginnered Forerunner technology.
| | :::The difference can be as simple as in a car example as the gasoline and the engine. The fusion reactor may just be what powers the alien-inspired repulsor engine. As for the grouping, I thinkk the categories are just main sublight engine and slipspace drive, whatever their technological origin. -[[User:ScaleMaster117|ScaleMaster117]] ([[User talk:ScaleMaster117|talk]]) 18:47, 12 October 2016 (EDT) |
|
| |
|
| Also this is not to say at all that Infinity will be anything '''close''' to even the weakest of Forerunner ships, for reasons like the ones I said above and things like it took the Covenant ''thousands'' of years to reverse-engineer their technology to the level that they had, and it still wasn't anything '''close''' to achieving its full power.

| ::Fatalsnipe: they do have access to those artefacts, but I would have assume that to crack that Forerunner technology would require within a century to crack it. It took a group of human scientists almost 20+ years to construct a proper shielding system for the MJOLNIR using Kig-yar defense gauntlet as a reference, a technology that was alien to them and almost non-existent. Those scientists were still unable to figure out how Covenant weapons function (i.e. Needler being the best example) even till the end of the Human-Covenant War.

| :::Cortana's information from Installation 04 may be just the "How-To-Use/DIY" manual you describe. We have no idea what that data was, and even Cortana didn't seem to be too clear. For all we know, it might have been step-by-step instructions of how to assemble Forerunner legos, or a guide to understanding and translating their spoken and mathematical languages. Humanity was working on the problem for 20+ years with little idea what they were really dealing with, and only poor knockoffs to work from, which would present their own unique problems. Even the Prophets didn't fully understand what they were dealing with. With some context, and some "pure" examples of Forerunner technology with none of the flaws to scratch their heads at, the time could be radically cut. I do agree that it seems a bit soon to have a testbed ship in service already, but I was looking forward to a century-long cryo-sleep for the Chief and for the old hero to be reawakened in a new and strange world, both literally and figuratively. I guess I'm just like that.

| Just a reminder, Glasslands said that workers were stationed in the Oort cloud over several YEARS, not months. Obviously this tells me they began working on the ship at least sometime between 2540-2552. Humans were reverse-engineering covenant technology since 2532, so the UNSC Infinity makes perfect sense. They simply made the decision to conceal it from the covenant (and everyone else) by enforcing a communications blackout and having it constructed somewhere the covenant wouldn't give a crap about. Thus humanity was given an opportunity to pour every piece of covenant & forerunner tech into it without it being destroyed like other advance tech before it. Also it is quite possible that there is more than one of these kinds of ships being constructed in the same place considering there were two "Infinity's" in the concept picture. Hopefully Halo 4 and the sequel to Glasslands will explain what we want to know.--[[User talk:Killamint|Killamint]] 15:00, 17 January 2012 (EST)
| | I've heard from a few YouTube videos that the point of originally building the Infinity (and the Eternity) was as a lifeboat for humanity in case there was ultimately no way found to win the war with the Covenant. Is there any canonical evidence for this, and if so, how reasonably effective could it be at such a role? Is ~17k enough to effectively start humanity over? (Assuming both ships were completed conventionally without any of the tech captured and incorporated post-war and then sent off in seperate directions.) |

| :I agree with you that the ship could have taken many years to build. However, considering it's the 2500's, construction methods & times may be a lot different than today and it may take shorter amounts of time to construct massive mile-long ships than ever thought possible. Also, I just don't agree with your theory that not much development/research had gone into covey/forn tech until Cortana came back w/ 4 months worth of forerunner tech. I'm basically going off canon info- seeing that the UNSC had a prototype tank that fired plasma rounds in 2531, that tech could have been shipped back to the ''Infinity'' construction site- it even says: "...the data gleaned from the Rhino's development and use was later used on other projects." So to me it's quite possible. Now maybe not much forerunner tech had been reversed-engineered, so it may not be much of a comparison w/ actual forerunner ships, but humanity is just getting back on their feet after years of fighting a powerful foe.

| Also, Glasslands takes place in 2553 so by July 20th, 2557 (Halo 4) the 1st or 2nd Generation Huragok they found on Sharpened Shield (Onyx) would have taught them alot about forerunner tech, not to mention the fact that they found Forerunner war machines and transports dormant in the hangar lucy accidentally kileld the Huragok in.

The first topic deals with a debate, whether or not the ''Infinity'' will first appear in that book or Halo 4, which will be a deciding "edit" in this article. However your topic is discussing speculative canon that has not been confirmed nor hinted and isn't related to the article in any way. So if it has nothing to do with modification of the article or hasn't been confirmed, it shouldn't be in either the article or discussion. Usually speculative/unnecessary topics get deleted without notice. Just food for thought. Trust me, I learned this the hard way. Also if you wanted to recap the previous argument, it was never too late to post your explanation under the last comment posted.

| == Armament of the UNSC ''Infinity'' ==
| |
| | |
| Does anybody know yet if there are any details on the armaments of the UNSC ''Infinity''? Or what class of starship the UNSC ''Infinity'' is? Bottom line, I think the vehicle infobox could use a bit more data. --[[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 11:47, 6 June 2012 (EDT)Xamikaze330

| :And since it is probably the first ship of its class, its class would be Infinity-class, or by the looks of it a cruiser. --[[User:Tentacletornado|<font color="#2E8B57">''Tent''</font>]][[User:Tentacletornado|<font color="#3CB371">''acle''</font>]][[User:Tentacletornado|<font color="#FFD700">''Torn''</font>]][[User talk:Tentacletornado|<font color="#DAA520">''ado''</font>]] 11:57, 6 June 2012 (EDT)

| ::Until we get more info about the ship all we can do is leave the info box empty. We'll just have to wait till we get out hands on the [[Halo 4 Limited Edition]] (which I'm still debating on pre-ordering) and read the ''UNSC Infinity briefing packet'' that comes with it or if we're lucky (I highly doubt it), Halo waypoint or some other site will release exclusive info about the ship before then. --'''''[[User:Killamint|<span style="color:black; font-family: Aerial;">Killamint</span>]]''''' <small>'''''[[User talk:Killamint|<span style="color:red">KillaEX</span>]]'''''</small> 12:31, 6 June 2012 (EDT)

| ::Being the first of its kind, and because it was created using Forerunner technology, I expect it also to have a wide assortment of powerful directed-energy weaponry, not just the usual plasma cannons used on Covenant starships (being reverse-engineered from Forerunner technology) and pulse laser turrets that I know are used on ONI Prowlers. But I guess we won't know for sure until more information is released. --[[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 13:20, 6 June 2012 (EDT)Xamikaze330

| Anyone one else a little disappointed that after a lot of hype involving the Infinity, the first thing we see it do is crash? [[User talk:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 17:23, 6 June 2012 (EDT)
