Re: Maybe true, but...
Posted By: deadguy71 <deadguy@msn.com>Date: 4/25/08 3:57 p.m.

In Response To: Re: Maybe true, but... (scarab)


: The Halos don't work by exploding.

: Any shock wave or electromagnetic pulse could not exceed the speed of light.
: That's too slow to be an effective weapon against an ememy with FTL comms
: and transports. It would take 25,000 years for the pulse to reach the
: limit of its range.

That's a good point, and assuming that ships were using slipspace back then, how would the blast affect ships in there? or would it? One of the Novels had folks entering those isolated slipspace capsules for protection.

Perhaps that includes protection from the Halo? Might explain how humans survived, and what the ark actually is, etc.
