I do declare Reach non-canon because it makes no sense and doesnt fit. That doesn't mean it's official and that it isnt canon just because I said so.
Exactly, that's what I meant when I refuse to consider Reach as canon because it doesn't make any sense especially with timeline, super-carrier event and sneaking to Reach without any slip-space rupture detection, PoA being on ground and several inconsistencies.
Funny thing is that I'm only Noble member here... 0.0 (Sorry for off-topic!)
So, I think I shall side with OP for this.
The timeline is fine and I have written one in the unexplainable errors thread, sensors were jammed with stealth pylons and it was cloaked by the spires and jumped into sub orbital space so it couldn't get shot down by SMACS, POA is easily explainable.
Your suggestion/theory brings up several problems:
1. UNSC is heavily militarized in Reach, it's pretty obvious that they would want to know why their sensor isn't working properly, thus sending someone to investigate. Bam! They see super-carrier or any ships there, then call fleet to immediately attack the "invading" forces. And, they have stations that are designed to read the gravitational field strengths, it's obviously that they can see large distortion caused by Super-Carrier or stealth pylons as well.
2. Covenant is imitative, I don't see how that stealth pylons are capable to covering up very LARGE slip-space signature left behind by exiting from slip-space. And you know that radiation can penetrate cloaking, depending on types of radiation. Besides, it would require large source of energy for stealth pylons to cover that as well. Which i can assume that large source of energy would be equivalent to sun-like energy that is necessary enough to cloak that big and high radiations released by slip-space.
3. No, PoA is not easily explainable because to propel off this massive beast from the ground, IT WOULD BE MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF ENERGY REQUIRED TO propel this beast off the ground! Look at thrusters, it's obvious that they are small, all right? I estimate it wouldn't be bigger than 200 to 450 meters long. Even with dozens of it, it wouldn't be enough energy to actually lift off this beast off from this ground! Gravity plays a key role in the planets, gravity can AFFECT anything, even to this PoA. Countering the gravitational strength, would normally require large amounts of energy to do this.
4. No again, timeline is messed up as well. PoA are supposed to be battling against super-cruiser, aiding the defensive fleet, dropping off Blue Team to secure NAV data in Circumference at GAMMA STATION.
I have read your posts on unexplainable errors thread, and I don't agree with your posts because of several problems appeared, as I explained here. I'll bring this post to that thread as soon I can.
