In Response To: Re: Unnamed Elite Major in The Package (Bry)


: Well it was already explained the compartmentalised nature of the Covenant
: ships was necessary by their origins in Forerunner technology, and is
: derived from equipment that was actually designed to combat the Flood,
: including being able to jettison infected parts of a ship.
: Alas the Covenant's ignorance in such things.
: We could have had a far worse explanation.

: Which, to be fair, was a loooong time ago, with all the limitations of the
: Xbox 1 hardware and was primarily designed to provide a gameplay
: experience and little more. :)
: I mean, its from the same game which gave us a tunnel/corridor which could
: not possibly have actually fit inside the Pillar of Autumn .

: When we start entering the area of level design and how it fits in canon, I
: would advise keeping a bucket of salt on standby.

Salt ready! :)

The strange interconnectedness of Covenant ship design glimpsed at in the Truth and Reconciliation made sense from a strength standpoint as well as its look being undeniably alien. Instead of embracing that, we get breakaway compartments. I'm cool with that, it just seems that revisiting something established never seems as cool as inventing the new. The explanation for the compartmentalization has its roots in Guilty Spark's own memory. He remarked on that in case he was captured by the Flood. Makes sense that ship design follow that course.
