::You seem to forget that the Assault Carrier seen at the end of Cairo Station level managed to survive the Orbital Defense line; the shields on the Assault Carrier might have been depleted and requires some time to be fully active again. This might explain why the Longswords were able to penetrate the Assault Carrier's hull easily. | ::You seem to forget that the Assault Carrier seen at the end of Cairo Station level managed to survive the Orbital Defense line; the shields on the Assault Carrier might have been depleted and requires some time to be fully active again.

:Onwards to why the Assault Carrier did not target the Master Chief (assuming their Plasma-based weaponry locks on to heat signatures): the ship's targeting system requires to lock-on to the heat signature of a target. Because the battle occurs in space, the targeting system only locks on to a specific heat signature as not to confuse with other celestial bodies (i.e. comets). Also, Master Chief's heat signature in space is relatively small for a targeting system to lock on to; this explain why the Assault Carrier was able to destroy the Cruiser but unable to specifically target the incoming Longswords. This is similar to the present navy ships where the weapon systems aboard are locked to a specific element. It has nothing to do with the size. In space, heat is visible to all and everything emits a certain amount of heat.[[User:-Ascension-|<span style="font-family:Century Gothic; color:#E32636;">Sketch</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:-Ascension-|<span style="font-family:Century Gothic; color:#E32636;">ist</span>]]</sup> 02:49, April 24, 2010 (UTC) | ::Onwards to why the Assault Carrier did not target the Master Chief (assuming their Plasma-based weaponry locks on to heat signatures): the ship's targeting system requires to lock-on to the heat signature of a target.
