Re: Trying to understand the Halos' blast pattern

In Response To: Re: Trying to understand the Halos' blast pattern (Snypehunter117)

: If the halo rings do have the ability to move around, like you said, they
: would have to be able to correct themselves.

: But just becuase they have the ABILITY to, doesn't mean that they will. Why
: waste all the fule/energy of holding an orbit or a certin location when
: you can just park in a zone that will do it for you? (like where
: istalation 04 was found) That would allow the ring to stay operational for
: much longer.

: on a slightly differetnt note- i wonder if halos every have to refule (or if
: their energy supplys ever dye?)

My guess is that energy supply is not a problem. The Forerunner ship was powering High Charity, and it was as old or older than the Halos. However, I'd also guess that energy is one reason why the Halos are only found near gas giants. Jupiter, for example, has an extremely powerful magnetic field, and it's possible that the Halos somehow use the fields of their host planets to either power themselves or draw in power for the pulse.
