I can't understand that escape pod having a Slipspace drive. The power required to actually juice the thing would cause the escape pod to be huge, and totally unlike an escape pod, rather just a really small Frigate. It would also have to have the hell reinforced out of it.Not really - since an escape pod is a very small object, and this slipspace drive is obviously going to be very small with it, it only needs to open a tiny hole into slipspace. As such, it needs to be nowhere near as powerful. It seems to run off a capacitor, like Black-Cat Exfiltration craft (GoO Prologue), because they only had enough fuel for one more jump. This could refer to regular fuel, or charge for SS.
As for the actual stresses of leaving slipspace, I don't believe that it has anything to do with deacceleration. The ship isn't actually going any faster than it normally does, its just travelling through folded space. What could cause the stresses is simply transitioning from 11+- dimensional space to our regular 3 dimensional space, or could be the transition of leaving the electromagnetic bubble that ships wrap themselves in during a slipspace voyage.It's not easy for any of us to think about this - to be fair, the ship does have an effective speed of 1.3 ly/day (was once stated on halopedia, now taken down but still the only figure we ever had), and upon exiting the slipstream has a speed of whatever they normally achieve. Though since SF is compressed compared to normal space, the speed is only an effective, and would still be normal speed.
Also, in the original post of mine I was suggesting that the Banshees, Seraphs and Phantoms didn't have slipspace drives onboard, but that they were released from Frigates/Cruisers/Whatevers in Slipspace and they transitioned once they left the electromagnetic bubble their 'home ship' was generating. Similar to Blue Team leaving Ascendent Justice/Gettysburg to convene with the Unyeilding Hierophant in their Spirit dropship.Blue Team's Spirit was massively reinforced, and they stated that only the reinforcements were visible. The ship had shaken itself apart from resonances by leaving the 'stream in an unstable fashion. I'd say more, but I feel a theory coming on.
