If it were, all Forerunner ships are Mary Sues by that logic.

A Forerunner Fortress is destroyed in Cryptum, they're not perfect. They may be perfect to the standards of the UNSC--as would Infinity, I suppose, assuming its on Forerunner levels--but they aren't perfect to the Forerunners' own standards, or any race on a similarly advanced technological level.
Perfection is subjective to the observing party.
Right, forgot that Forerunner ships may be really powerful with scary yields, but their defensive ability is crap.
What? How did you calculate defensive yields? as far, I know there is no calculated defense yields based on any information. Hell, there is not much information about defensive side of Forerunners. We know that Forerunner's armor is made of Adamantium, similar material used in Halo rings. Only way to destory Forerunner ships is you need high level Gt to mid level of Tt of TNT firepower to get through their defenses.
A piece of a Halo ring scraped against a Forerunner Fortress and completely wrecked the Fortress. That... doesn't bode well for Forerunner vessel defensive ability (against projectiles).
That's not how we calculate defense yields, bub. That mass is massively larger than the ship and you forgot about momentum that plays big role.
Whoever calculated on defense yield based on this situation is moron or whatever. If it is from Factpile.com, then I'll straighten them out.
Not from Factpile, unless I missed it in the 46 or so pages of FR vs GE. If so, then I'LL staighten them out. I mean, simply using the kinetic energy formula would show how powerful a multi-kilometer chunck of ultra-dense metal moving at a high speed really is. I mean, the chunk that blew installation 04 apart crossed the 10,000km gap in less than 10 seconds, meaning faster than 1,000 kilometers per second. So if we give this even a very low estimate of a mass of 30,000,000 kilograms*For the piece that hit the fortesss):
0.5 x 30,000,000 x 1,000,000^2
15,000,000,000,000,000,000 Joules which is about
3,600,000,000 tons which is
3.6 Gigatons
This is with a TINY estimate of the weight of the piece.
