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)

: Actually, no. Covenant ships do not have a point defense system like UNSC
: ships have them.

The Fall of Reach, p. 122:
"It occurred to him then that the Covenant ship might identify the Spartans as incoming missiles—and their point-defense lasers were too damn accurate."

: Covenant shield strength is proportional to ship size; and for a Prophet
: Hierach's ship, its probably got some damn good shields. It likely ate up
: a lot of damage and just bulled straight through.

The UNSC did manage to take the Carriers' shields down near Cairo Station...the Longswords didn't drop bombs at its hull until after the announcement that the Carrier's shields were down.
