An Unknown UNSC ship that served in the Human-Covenant War, and no doubt played no small part in the eventual victory for humanity. There were probably few types of this ships before the start of the war, but no doubt there were no more after it considering materials use to make it.

Yeah, and unlike some other RU-vidrs (cough-cough EckhartsLadder cough-cough) Meta actually does his research and provides an objective commentary without throwing in his personal biases. Sorry if you're an EckhartsLadder fan and I've upset you, but the way I see it the guy really needs to drop the "Star Wars fuck-yeah" attitude in his versus videos.

@@gravytube4099id say his biggest mistake in the verus ( for halo vs starwars) is completely discounting and not really taking into account point defense systems He right in that unlike starwars halo is less invested into space fighters as a whole But the reason for that is the proliferation of automated and ai fire controlled point defense systems Similarly the empire tends to really under coock their own point defense systems and other star wars factions are generally not much better

Halo is our world in the future. Star Wars is our world far away and in the far past. They could technically be linked and have it make sense in your head cannon.

My head cannon is the flood made their way to the SW galaxies and wiped them out and by the time their 'dust' made it back to the milky way ancient humans were discovering it from strange (SW era) ships.

If I'm not articulating or stressing the long a idk I don't do that with many words but it isn't wrong. I'm not hitting the T or saying sahbut or something like that.

You...do realize this is an utterly brain dead comparison, right? ISDs, like all SW ships, are already very heavily automated. A large portion of that crew is non essentials and troops. By all means, if you want to get into a pissing contest in "who's better at automation?", than SW wins near effortlessly, seeing how the Death Stars exist, in all their couple million-odd crew glory.

@republic9299 4 месяца назад

Bröther, I've gotten back into Halo ships and lore and I would L O V E if you covered the Charon class Frigate. It's not well armed but is a specialized ground assault ship and I always found that a interesting function. Not as lumbering as an Orion and can still carry a ton of equipment (Forward Unto Dawn and Aegis Fate show this). I could see it carrying a variety of ground assault and space based fighters depending on mission need. Its no small part in the battle of Voi show its importance. Separately, I'm starting to look into the controversy of 343's handling of the Halo IP but I will say that their design of the the new frigates are honestly amazing.

@HakoVadim6855 2 года назад

That is an awesome and accurate breakdown. But, I am wondering about a single mention in this particular case, about its fighters. And I am talking about YSS-1000 “Sabre”. I pretty much sure, that those were highly classified ones, and only been used exclusively for orbital defense. Because of loss of Reach and therefore most of the facilities that repaired and constructed these fighters, they were very, very rarely used in combat, especially navy, because they were designed for planetary defense. Most of them were housed in Sol system, and program was, basically, discontinued. Of course, there was a program of SS-1000 Sabre program, but those ones gone in limited production as well. In conclusion, it is not possible for use of them as normal fighters for navy branch of UNSC and even for carriers, such as Epoch. Therefore, there were none used as normal fighters for carriers, or other ships.

I always wanted to know what the UNSC did for armor and I'm amazed they have all that in a ship, like a Paris Class Heavy Frigate would have 60 cm's of titanium A battle plates, thermal super conducting radiators, layer or layers of elastic polymers and intermetallic laminate, with in between the armor plate exterior and interior would be filled with the shock hardening fluid gel thing. Then you get to the bigger ships with a meter and up to 5 meters of titanium A battle plates I think? with a lot more elastic polymers and intermetallic laminate and the gel shit. Overall that sounds strong but then you cut to a Marathon Class Heavy Cruiser being gutted like nothing, WHICH BY THE WAY had nearly 2, 2!! meters of titanium A battle plating and all the other layers of thermal super conducting radiators, layers of elastic polymers and intermetallic laminate with shock hardening fluid, All that armor and preparations being gutted in like 2 or 4 seconds. Yeah this is why I love Halo and it's ships, (MOSTLY THE UNSC) They're built for war and to dash out damage hey I mean look at the Halcyon Light Cruiser with it's honey comb structure.
