= I'd imagine the reactors on a starship going critical would do almost nothing because Covies aren't going to be in direct
Ye say that to the covie fleet that was over alpha halo when the poa went boom... Well you can try to tell them, but most of them are dead...
Ahem, major difference. The Covenant fleet was close to halo, and did not know it was going to explode. The explosion from the PoA most likely didn't harm any of the ships, and instead it was the shear amount of debris which destroyed them.
We are also talking most likely the debris striking the ship would = the size of the ship or greater.
A single frigate going critical/activating a self destruct+nukes might not be enough to even overpower the 5 CSS class battlecruiser's shields. If the explosion did take out the shields, there is no guarantee it would even harm the hull.
Halo 2 when your inside high charity, Cortant propses making the dawns reactors go critcal like the Poa, in which she says both high charity and delta halo would be destroyed...
