Re: Why didn't the Covenant just shoot the MAC's??

In Response To: Re: Why didn't the Covenant just shoot the MAC's?? (Peptuck)

: The reason why the general assumption is that UNSC ships get burned out from
: nukes was during the battle at Sigma Octanus, where the Iriquois lost
: fifteen percent of its electronics from the EMP generated by the nuke they
: used, which was at a very long distance. Even the Commonwealth couldn't
: use its nukes at a hundred thousand kilometers because the danger the EMP
: presented....I think. I'll need to check FoR again, but Shiva EMPs reach
: out to tremendous distances.

this however is a simply stupid idea, it should be basically EASY to harden all major electronics and EMP shouldnt affect these ships at distances like these if they even had common sense and used EMP hardenning on crtiical systems used in combat, at close range i would agree, yes, your hardened electrnoics would be over come by the EMP, by at long range the idea that your ship would be knocked out by EMP is stupid, considering how3 easy it is just to harden key systems, i do find it quite ridculious, and if its in the books a fault on the writers part.
