@Grey101, would you mind linking the article/video it says the Ark was destroyed in, 'cause that's news to me, I always thought it was just heavily damaged.
Guilty Spark said that firing the ring would destroy the Ark. Going by Cryptum, if a Halo ring can destroy precursor technology than I think it's safe to assume it would be able to destroy a Forerunner structure, even one as massive as the Ark. To be fair though, we never saw the final condition of the Ark so unless it is stated somewhere officially we can't know for sure.
Well Precursor technology is different from Forerunner technology, I believe Precursor tech is somehow neurologicaly based or something similar, which is why it could be destroyed by the firing of a Halo, nothing else ever could do any damage to it IIRC. I think Spark was worried about some sort of malfunction harming the Ark because of Alpha Halo's incomplete status. The reason it did any harm at all to the Ark I believe was because of its self-destruction, but that's just me. I don't think it could harm it normally if it was completed, but then we don't really know how the firing of a Halo Ring works...
I was more asking Grey to source what he was saying, because I've seen several people saying that it was said somewhere that the Ark was destroyed.
