Re: Superstardestroyer VS Enterprise E

In Response To: Superstardestroyer VS Enterprise E (scarab)

: It is hard to reason about imaginary tech.

Sorry man, but if those two got into a fight, the captain of the Super Star Destroyer would wonder what just smacked the windshield.

: Frankie once said that plasma weapons do NOT use plasma. Or, more accurately,
: he linked to a website that mentioned the impracticality of plasma based
: weapons. I can't remember if he explicitly stated that plasma weapons are
: not plasma based.

He did say that the Covenant weapons don't use plasma as we know it, but something more arcane.

: Of course, the EU writers may not have got that memo.

At this point, I doubt 343i has much input into the novels, aside from veto power on outlines and initial drafts.

: Who knows what the sword's 'plasma' 'magnetic, containment field can or can
: not do? Could it incorporate the bolt's containment field' and 'plasma'
: into its own field and contained plasma?

You have a point, you really do. I'm just a little disappointed when something cool and interesting in Halo turns out to be a reskin of something I've seen done to death. Which is funny, because the UNSC is basically the Earth government from Aliens with the serial numbers filed off.
