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?? (M6D)

: there was moer then one drop ship sent to each station, chances are more then
: one carried bombs, if you NOTICED, there were LOADS of capital ships,
: longswords, etc, chances are a LOT of these boarding craft were
: dispatched, disabled, destroyed, etc, what you see is the craft that get
: through.
: and no point defense systems on orbital MAC's is insanity, quite obviously.

And yet I still don't understand what you're trying to prove, or say.

: and what do you mean it shows nothing? no, listen to the damn point again and
: READ IT, when someone is DISTRACTED, againi say DISTRACTED it emans theyre
: occupied, what are you going to do, take out a station that cant fire on
: you anymore because your past it or concentrate on a ship that has chances
: of taking your shields down potentially? do the math.

All it takes is one point defense laser to hit the Orbital MAC, and you've just disabled or destroyed it. We know the point defense systems are easily capable of multitasking and are highly accurate, which makes them the perfect weapons to use in this scenario.

I find it incredibly unlikely the Covenant wouldn't have a single point defense turret able to fire at the Cairo. There's almost no risk involved in tasking a point defense laser with the job of shooting the Cairo. It's not like Regret's Carrier has anything to worry about. The worst case scenario would be some missiles getting through and hitting Regret's hull, disabling a hangar or weapon system. The trade off here is more than worth it.

Not to mention that if as you say, there are many human ships distracting Regret's Carrier, how in the hell does it make it down to Earth in one piece?
