have read it, still doesn't change the fact that its a load of rubbish, Covenant Plasma Torpedoes are NOT in the power range. it breaks EVERYTHING in Halo fiction if that was the case and makes Halo one of those super inconsistent Universes that are terrible, weak and not well thought out. answer me these questions then:
1) how can a Marathon survive being hit by numerous Plasma Torpedoes which are 'wrongly' said to be in the trillion tons of TNT range, keep in mind the ship is armoured with Titanium (which is no wonder metal) and is ~1,200 metres long, that is like getting a ship and hitting it with all of the nuclear weapons on this planet, thousands of times over and it surviving!
2) how does a field of HORNET mines (~30 megatons) disable four shielded capital ships and destroy another twelve, even though they are what, a million times less powerful than a Plasma Torpedo?
3) how does on place the equivalent energy of a TRILLION tons of TNT into a bolt of Plasma that isn't all that large or special, keep in mind that this is all powered (at the same time as the shields) by nuclear fusion reactors which can only generate so much power?
its pointless posting that thread because its simply not possible for them to be anywhere even close to that powerful, hell not even a percent of that, magnitudes LESS powerful is the more realistic number.
Again, where you did get information on Covenant using nuclear fusion power plant or reactor?
And, if you're referring to Halo CE's first cutscene showing that PoA getting beaten by plasma torpedoes, it's likely that was low powered due to Halo ring being present and Prophets didn't want to damage it so it's probable that they used low power.
Or, if you're referring to tFoR, Only PoA suffered is two thin-like beam weapon from supercruiser. It sliced throughout Titanium-A battleplate like nothing and seriously damaged it.
And it's confirmed that frigate or destroyers can't take a plasma torpedoes. Cruisers would able, due to their super structure.
And, plasma torpedoes was calculated, based from Jericho VIII event. Also calculated from AJ in slipspace anomaly as well. It might be other events as well, I'll try to find others.
Plus, any sci-fi universe is capable of having crazy firepower or crazy stuff in it. Look at star wars or star trek as well...
IF you like, please do a calculation on plasma torpedoes and show me numbers!
EDIT: My bad, I read other posts and I forgot about asteroid event! Disregard about spacebattles forums and my arguments on teratons firepower on covies. That belongs to Forerunners, of course.
