or, that shield tech have ability to scan the object, which that is fast data like light speed. (for Covenant's shield tech is far advancer than human's sheild tech.) For these shield can bear the limited impact. The tech shield still can be destoryed like the video Tsassi2 showed. So that mean the Oxygen, the shield tech's ability to scan it to allow enter inside of shield. Other than anything, that Covenant want allow it in, will be immune in limit of impact. well I only want share my theroy...

Well, I believe those shields are designed to absorb high-speed impacts. So, I don't think that shields can prevent anything. Same concept with Spartans using shields, and energy swords seem to completely overwhelm the shields due to being slow-speed motion, which those shields aren't designed for it.
Another probable proof is during halo wars, you can see spirit of fire colliding the destroyer which probably had shields up but it was gone when spirit of fire rammed to it and notice deck guns caused damage on destroyer while plasma blobs blow up deck guns and rip the hull apart.
Watch this footage. Spirit of Fire vs Covenant Destroyer in shield world
Basically, I don't those shields are designed to stop ANYTHING; only limited to high-speed object/projectile on impacts.

Depends on what you consider high speed. I believe combined speed of both ships matched or was higher than speed of a bullet. It could also be that the ship wasn't on alert and wasn't keeping it's shields up. That was pretty unexpectable accident and it could very well be that they didn't have enough time to put their shield systems on.
Lol, It wasn't tsaai2 showed video, I did.
Besides, that's probable theory you got there. I didn't think of that... Mhm.
damn it, my bad and I not pay attention the name who show the video. and thanks
