In Response To: Re: Hah. (58) : A fleet is not all the ships in the navy, but it is a representation of it - : if you have fifty thousand ships available, you damn well do not guard : your species' last worldship-containing-the-entire-population-of-your-race : with five hundred of them. Maybe we're just unaware of logistical constrictions - the largest fleet serviceable by High Charity alone could be about 500 vessels? Of course, it's useless conjecture, but plausible I suppose. : There is no standing garison at the UNSC colonies - recall that the Iroquois
No, I don't recall, but that's my fault, not yours : P : Admiral Cole had fewer than thirty ships at his command, if I recall
: The Covenant, which we all know was quite devout in its attempts to acquire
: If they had thousands more, the war wouldn't have taken thirty years, it
I'd consider it plausible that the Covenant is up to a fair deal more than we're aware of before Halo. Granted, I've yet to do the Contact Harvest bit, but before the Sacred Ring gets involved, there's no reason for the Covenant to see us as more than a cosmic speedbump they can kind of ease over. If I had thousands of ships more, but I could rape skulls with 8, I'd have 8 raping skulls and thousands out in random abandoned star systems trying to find the gateway to Paradise here. : The fact that there are only twenty Cruisers in the UNSC is enough to show
: As I said before, I'm willing to accept there being eight hundred worlds with
Again, logistical constraints? Ships means money and metal. Especially with the human civil wars going on beforehand, I could certainly see the UNSC being a tad more frugal with their spending. It seems that most of the ships we see, considering their sizeable ground-force contingent, are designed more as troop deployment vehicles, because as we know, Covenant pretty much destroy us in space but we have okay chances on the dirt; maybe there are only 20 cruisers because there are just more specialized troop-carriers instead. Thoughts thoughts... --dude
