In Response To: Re: Hah. (Peptuck)


: Which also mean precisely dick when going up against an enemy with superior
: numbers and superior firepower.

The point I'm making is that, if the humans have access to the resources of eight hundred worlds, then the Covenant does NOT have superior numbers. We've seen enough to know that if the Covenant had enough to make eight hundred colonized worlds seem insignificant that the war would have been over in months.

: Yes, because every single ship is going to be in their largest fleet.

I already said that I know the difference between a fleet and the entire navy, but the fleet is representative of the navy - if they guard their most valuable item with five hundred ships, then five hundred ships is a vast number, relatively speaking.

: The size of their largest fleet is not going to dictate how many fleets they
: actually have; they could have thousands of individual fleets. Besides,
: having a fleet of thousands puts them far above anything the UNSC could
: hope to put out, when they consider a planet with only a hundred and fifty
: ships to be invincible.

Yeah, and they only committed three hundred ships (and lost most of them) when they assaulted the last human stronghold - do you really believe that if they had access to thousands of vessels that they would have chanced it with the three hundred?
