where does it say this?

Will I may be mis-remembering it know that I;m thinking about it. It was during the pre-Covenant war between the Elites and Prophets before they disarmed the Keyship.

I'll check Halopedia in the moringing.

[Quote] Battle plan: Drop out slip space around populated planet. Die in seconds to the single, god like Federation starship on sector patrol. Spend that split second period of sheer confusion wondering how they got beamed weapons and torpedosto travel at FTL speeds from a ship that fires them while moving at FTL speeds. End battle plan.

Please stop resurrecting this thread. It's causing me recurring brain damage every time I think about it.[Unquote]

1. Your plan fails for the following reasons.

A. Standard Federation/nearly all ST (that I know of besides a few) space battles take place at tens of kilometers will all but a few in Halo are at least 10,000+ km.

B. The Picard Maneuver from what I have heard has been done only twice. Why? If it is such a battle wining ability in the ST-verse why not use it as offten as possible? Clearly we can expect standard Federation battles except they will most likely start engaging with Phasers at 300,000 km.

C. Covenant ships will laugh off your low single digit to high double digit high end GT range weapons. On another note the new Halo book has retcon SHIP MAC guns to being fired at 40% the speed of light for a KE of 1.17 TT per shot. Yeah, your stupid ignore everything else in favor of the 30KPS quote is is great for you but no longer.  

Battle plan: drop out half fleet of slipspace under Earth's planetary shields and begin glassing will the other half begins to engage the Federation fleet. In the confusion as their ships are easily one shoted by the god like Covenant battle ships they wonder why the hell when someone dropped a plate in the mess a bridge panel explode and knew why they were being destroyed. They were idiots. End phase one of battle plan to be continued later.  

2. Yeah, like not taking into account things for the 30kps quote like the fact that the Covenant would destroy UNSC ships with ease from 9+ light seconds if the slugs were really that slow and the clear fact that Halo ships move at thousands of Gs in normal combat.

Or how you claimed because a small dropship was dodging Plasma Torps in orbit around a planet with a Forerunner relic on it then they must be hard to hit something with it because it is really fast. Yeah, of course it could't be these were fired slower for close combat near said Forerunner relic holding planet, or the dropship wasn't being targeted (great idea! Lets just shot at that bug of a ship will that cruiser and SMAC station gut us!) etc.

On the SMAC it has been recton to nearly 50% the speed of light. So I will just assume either 7 TT or 7.7 TT since those are most likely.

GrandAdmiralSova, for your own well being, someone needs to come over to your house and smash your Xbox. Halo would get its ass curbstomped horribly by some race or another in St

It began dead when it was started by a brainless, unthinking zombie...

Precursors=God

Precursor's weapons=Blackhole

Halo wins

what I love about Halo is how every new book introduces these Badass new weapons that outclass the last big badass weapons....but still is a EPIC FAIL considering how insignificant the Covenant and UNSC is to StarFleet. StarFleet wouldnt even have to worry about instantly reacting as it takes forever for both Covenant and UNSC to actually act out any hostilities.

I said it before. Star Trek = YEARS OF SCI FI HISTORY

Star Trek Wins.....nuff said. Don't be a retard.

Wow, great counter.

Now for the quote on the MAC guns:

The Magnetic Accelerator Cannon (MAC) gun is one of the largest (and best) weapons that the UNSC has in its fleet. Utilizing thousands of magnetic relays, it can ram a 600-ton projectile at nearly forty percent the speed of light. Able to pulverize most Covenant ships in one to three blasts, these weapons are mounted on all UNSC spaceships large enough to hold them. Unfortunately, MACs are slow to fire and, due to their size, require the entire ship on which they are built to maneuver in order to align fire. In the Fall of Reach, MAC Gun barrages were able to destroy whole swaths of Covenant Destroyers, but in the time it took for them to reload, faster alien ships had already penetrated the Human defenses. Work is constantly underway in hopes of upgrading these weapons into faster, stronger, and more maneuverable models.

Variants
STABILIZED VARIANT: The "Super" Mac or "Big" Mac is fire-hundred percent larger than the ship-based original and is capable of firing a 3,000-ton slug at nearly half the speed of light. Due to its size, a Super MAC can only be stationed on planets or orbital weapons platforms.

1.17 Teratons of KE for a 600 ton MAC round at 40% of c.

Given how Bungie loves the number seven 7 or 7.7 Teratons at nearly 50% of c.

And for the quote from TDiC:

TAIN                                                                                                                                                                      (Garack)                                                                                                                                                                                       Our plan is to wait until we've entered orbit of the Founders' planetm then decloak and begin a massive bombardment.

LOVOK                                                                                                                                                                           Computer analysis indicates that the planet's crust will be destroyed within one hour, and the mantle within five.

Checkmate. You lied psychoak. Though the second quote I found suggests they should remove it in less than a few minutes. But going the low road and what is more likely, the sensors officer likely ment that 30% of the surface had been destroyed, like buildings, charred remains of buildings etc.etc.etc.

"SIC 'EM VADER!!!"

This has been an Sol Core Interstellar Command transmission.

Sweet Caroline. .  . . BAH BAAH BUH!"

the covenant's energy projector travels at the speed of light and has a 100000 kilometer range,it can also be focused to the width of a needle and could slice through multiple federation ships

I think I need to add stupidity to death and taxes, for a total of three constants...

While you revel in your brain damage, I'll repeat something for the umpteenth time.  Phasers can be fired at warp, photon torpedoes can be fired at warp.  Star Trek ships can engage in combat at warp.  Speed contest over.

speaking of brain damage and stupid

why did you resurrect this dead thread

i hate it when that happens
