Subject: Why do the covies have 5 diffrent types of cruisers?

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

They have from smallest to biggest.

-Light cruiser
-Cruiser
-Ccs class battlecruiser
-Reverence class cruiser
-Supercruiser

Why on earth do they need 5 diffrent types of these, surly 2 or 3 at max would be enough...

The unsc only have 2 types, and even then marathons are just heavily moded halcyons.


Why do modern Navies have different types of ship??

Why do modern Air Forces have different types of Aircraft??

Why do modern Armies have different types of vehicles??


Catch my drift?

EDIT: Also, isn't it a 'Super-Carrier' not a Supercruiser???

They do have diffrent ships, but they dont have 5 diffrent typs of aircraft carriers or cruisers or destroyers...
They don't have 5 diffrent types of f-22s...

Also Supercruiser is diffrent from a super carrier...

Supercruiser = 4km long
Supercarrier = 28km long.


It's all based on what role they are intended to play. Some may have more naval defense capabilities. Others may play a more combative role.

Light cruisers may be sent to cover carriers, while the larger cruisers may serve on their own with a group of frigates.

Don't forget about the politics, too. The Elites operated more like the feudal system, where they had their own ships that belonged to the nobility, not the Covenant "government." And Brutes had ships too, though they were notably smaller and more ill-equipped (could still kick our ass though, of course.)

What? FIve types of F-22s? That makes no sense in what your saying. It's like saying why the Covenant have 5 different types of Corvettes. The term Space Ship is a pretty broad term, Just like Aircraft is a pretty broad term.

You're wrong.

There are different classes (aka types) of Carriers, Destroyers, Submarines etc in modern navies. There are ALSO different marks of Aircraft depending on its role.


Sorry mate, not trying to be rude, but you really know nothing...at least not about this.


The reason there are different types of ships, and different marks of aircraft etc, is that they all fullfil different roles than the others. Add that to the fact that technology is contantly improving and new machnes are being built, and you have your answer amigo =]

Just like the number of licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop, the world may never know...except Bungie.

The same reason why we have DDs (destroyers), DDEs (destroyer escort) and DDGs (guided missile destroyers) in the real world. They're all destroyers but they fill the different roles needed.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

To diversify.

Excuse me about my last post. I never realized that the ships you listed were all Cruisers.

/Facedesk. OK, seriously.

They obviously have a wide variety of ships. It's not a bad thing, it's a good thing. Makes their fleet VERY adaptive to any situation.

If this is honestly that much of a problem for you then you need to get out more.
