Re: Unnamed Elite Major in The Package

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


: The idea of the Covenant directly replicating that tech from Forerunner
: vessels becomes odd however, when you realize how different Forerunner and
: Covenant ships are from each other in terms of both structure and looks.
: Nowhere near the same design. If the Covenant were to copy technology like
: that, why didn't they make their ships look Forerunner as well? It's like
: they just picked this one obscure feature, didn't really know why it was
: there, and just decided add it to their ships that are otherwise different
: in almost every way.

In fairness, we've not exactly seen a whole lot of Forerunner ships.
The prophets of course used the Dreadnought/keyship as-was and the same would have been true for the ships in Halo Wars (which going from Origins would have been exceptionally destructive).

It is perhaps less odd if one supposes the designs have more to do with what Engineers might have cobbled together from left-over Forerunner tech, or are also the result of a series of compromises.
They may not look like Forerunner ships (assuming they aren't one to begin with) simply because they just weren't able to replicate it.
