Howabout you show me that quote? No idiot in their right mind would seriously believe a Corvette can kill a Reaper.
The weakest ship I said was CCS Class Cruiser, on account of their megatonnage weaponry, which in retrospect might be an even match for Sovereign on account of his durability. Stop paraphrasing and warping my posts to make me look like and idiot.
The thread is closed, so I can't quote it without doing it manually. It's the second last post on the page.

Ah, I see. Apologies. That was a long time ago, before I realized that, technically, considering plasma has mass, the brunt of the blast would be repelled by kinetic shielding. Doesn't make the heat any less effective however.
As it is, currently, the weakest Covenant ship that could take a Reaper is likely a CCS. Corvettes don't appear to have shields, (and weaker, point defense weapons, rather then real cannons) so they're out of the fight
Still though, lets just say for a second that the Reapers defeated the Forerunners. You say they can, so this is what I'm hearing
(DISCLAIMER: Everything I'm about to say about the Forerunnrers is true; if you ask me to prove it, I'll prove it, later today when I get back home).
So the Reapers beat the Forerunners. First things first: Reapers are invaders, not destroyers, not WMDs, they invade and conquer worlds and kidnap civilizations to reproduce. Not like the Covenant which just outright kills everyone.
So the Reapers can invade 3million worlds, break through the Forerunners' defenses which, I remind you, is composed of trillions of ships and craft, most of them likely automated, some others piloted (unless the military is really that expanded). Each one of these ships has planet breaking weaponry; the smallest ship in the Forerunner fleet known is literally called a "Planet Breaker." Whos automated weapon systems and fighter craft blow continents to pieces, whos ship cannons use stars as supernova bombs.
And assuming they don't get beamed to death in space, they can succesfully land an inasion army of Husks, overthrow a race of creatures who's civillians wear power armor, who's military wears Power Armor up to and including nine times more powerful then the Chief's (scale of 1-18 I believe, MJOLNIR being 2), armor that makes you virtually immortal and immune to diseases and the dangers of the outside world.
A military force who use AI the likes of which we can scarcely imagine, the Commanders of which are linked on a consciouss level called the domain (galaxy's internet so to speak) allowing for commands to be given at the speed of thought, whos memories and experience can be passed down to other Forerunners (failsafe, if a commander dies, that commander's experience could be kept safe in another Forerunner).
And they can do all of this, wipe them clean off the face of the universe, but they struggle in defeating a tier 3 civilization with mass drivers the strongest of which is only half as strong as the UNSC's weakest MAC gun, the Frigate MAC.
See why I'm frustrated?
