Oh... those are some details I overlooked...

Well, one thing I would say is, after the ship was destroyed and no more communication jamming was going on, why didn't the carrier ask for a situation report?

You said the covenant were arrogant but that arrogant that they would NOT say something like "Give me a damage assessment" or "What are your casualty numbers?"

Man of God. Fan of Bungie. Eater of many Jr. Bacon cheeseburgers.

It should have left as soon as everything it needed to do was done.

You mean the Frigate without a slip-space drive was was shot nearly in two after the Covenant Corvette cut her wide the its plasma torpedoes?

The chances of survival on that ship are low, considering how it was above Reach and pretty much in the gravity well..

If it didn't explode moments afterward, it would've been pulled apart during it's free-fall back to Reach.

I like Halo games, nuff said.

But seriously, as far as lines of fire go, why didn't the frigate at least attempt to stay behind, above, or even in front of the frigate in order to avoid the fire from the main cannons that only had lines of fire on the side. They were so close that the frigate could have easily maneuvered around the frigate, at least until 6 could eliminate the control crew.

Also, as sort of said before, after the Savannah was destroyed, and six went into the main control room, why couldn't a single one of the elites in the whole -blam!- ship send a message to the supercarrier saying they've been boarded. They even managed to mount a counterattack on the pelican, so they should have been able to get back to the control room, or at least a comms station. There is no reason that the supercarrier should not have been notified that the corvette was boarded.

Brains beats brawn get used to it

Fear the Red Comet

Variety is the spice of life.
Long live games.
Death to all fanboys.

Wouldn't be in a position to give covering fire/serve as a distraction away from the Pelican if it were in any other position aside from directly to the Corvette's side.

The comm station area was presumably totaled. Otherwise Six and Jorge would've been able to reach it. The door facing the hanger is clearly intact, so the door that the "Savannah did a number on" was likely the one in the comm area side of the passageway.

I don't think it could have been saved.

Had it fled the battle because it delivered the bomb, the Corvette would have probably started a chase...which would draw attention and would bring the ship further away from the Carrier
That would conflict with the goal of the mission, so I guess the Savannah was ordered to try and hold out as long as possible.
