Megathread - Versus battles

[the-alguroan]

that being siad, apparently the Carrier in Halo is no longer classified as a carrier, but an assualt carrier, as in the books there is another carrier which is smaller, only about twive the size of the Pillar, or three times that of a normal frigate.
i'm going to assume you mean the big arse one form the games tho?
It also has an energy projector beam, in that case.

ya the real big ones, like the one truth used in 2. of course though you have to the the books refences saying that one small cruiser could take 3 ships out before being destroyed. though the unsc ships have very small weapons on alot of there ships.

I don't know much about Halo but aren't the humans in its setting semi holding their own against the Covenant with roughly BSG type weaponry? Giant railguns, nukes and such?

If the covenant can "glass" planets with their fleets then that does put them in the same sort of range as naquada enhanced nukes for their weapons but what are their defences like? How many hits can one of their ships withstand from its own weaponry and what sort of ranges and fire rates do they have?

Since a lot of Halo is in books I'm betting they have ranges at least better than the spitting distances of Sg.

They are proper ranged weapons, and the ratio of ship was 3:1 Unsc:Covenant. That was when the HUMANS won.
They didn't hold their own much at all, in space. They won maybe three battles, but they outnumbered the covies 3 to 1

[the-alguroan]

the ratio i was talking about was the kill ratio in which for every 1 covanent ship destroyed they lost 3, and ya on the ground humans won most of those but of course if they had no reason to land then they just glass the planet from orbit.

[Stewart5]

Yea, i was pretty much agreein with u and stated the 3 to 1 kill ratio. But in Fall of Reach it states on pg 296 that they only win when they outnumber 3 to 1.

Who would win in a 1 v 1 space fight. The wraith with a ZPM or the ori?

>Personally, The Wraith win, hands down

I think the Ori would...they have strong shields and powerful beam weapons...

[ethemea]

even better ori with 5 ZPMs vs. anubis

[Ltcolshepjumper]

if a suped up Hive could survive the APBWs and could nearly defeat Atlantis, I'd say the Wraith would win, at least against Ori ships.

[captain simms]

wraith probably but then we would just fly in and kick their arse again :/

[Brilliant Mckay]

3 goauld hatak ships vs 1 hive ship
Who would win?

[XxX_Kavan Smith_is_Mine_XxX]

I believe the 3 goa'uld ships would...because they have shields and are easier to maneuver...so they could have an easy time against the wraith

[Holy Hannah!]

Hatak sihps

[TrueLordOfNetu]

3 goauld hatak ships vs 1 hive ship
Who would win?

Just those ships or are they carrying fighters?

[Gate Rider]

Ha'taks if there are no fighters.

But the Gliders would lose badly to the Darts.

[Inquisitor]

Ori, as they have superhuman abilities. I don't see why a Prior couldn't do what a human Adria could.

Anubis would beat all, he'd just fly through their shields or infiltrate and cause the ship to self destruct, only to continue to live.
