This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

Two Words:
Forerunner Dreadnought.
That thing plowed through Earth's defenses. The whole space around Earth was filled with debris from Regret's Fleet and now it had UNSC engaging Truth's fleet.
Plus, ship based MAC cannons dont inflict any damage on the Forerunner dreadnought, as shown in Halo 3. I have no idea, but I guess it could witstand a shot even from a Super MAC Orbital Station.
Ship based MAC =/= Mark V Super MAC
I'm also referring to Truth's fleet of Covenant Ships, not the Dreadnought ( Which is weaponless ).
There has never been confirmation that the Dreadnought was undamaged, only that it was still operational. The MAC blasts that impacted it were the size of Assault Carriers.
Well, it looked perfectly undamaged. Halopedia states, that the Dreadnought can take multiple MAC rounds without suffering any noticble damage. I agree. We still dont know how strong Forerunner armour is on Keyships/Dreadnoughts. I'm sure they could take quite the punishment, even from Forerunner weaponry.
Anyways, the Prophets had deactivated the Dreadnoughts ships back with the Writ of Union that brought birth of the Covenant. The Prophets have always had certain... distrust in the Elite's. I'm sure how to reactivate the weapons systems was a closely guarded secret, known only to the High Prophets themselfs, in case of an extreme emergency, like the Elite Rebellion.
And I obviously know that ship based MAC =/= Super MAC
What made you think, I thought they were the same?
