In Response To: Re: halo=marathon universe? (Claude Errera) : Nope. : Check the Timeline you'll find on the left side of this page:
: Notice that FTL travel (in the Halo universe) was developed in 2291. : Now look at the Marathon timeline:
: They were still building CRISTs 20 years after that. : (There are many, many, many other problems with trying to reconcile these two
I hope you're not trying to argue that no one ever continues to use long obsolete technology simply because it's cheap. Boeing is still building new 747's _thirty_ years after the first flight of the Concorde SST. IIRC, the C.R.I.S.Ts were used for _interplanetary_ shipment of bulk cargo, not _interstellar_ travel. So the UESC took an old cargo ship, outfitted it with the cheapest engine they could find, and used it to encourage emmigration (the ultimate social safety-valve) from a colony (Mars) that was experiencing severe social and economic turmoil. Just like the Brits did in Ireland during the Potato Famine of 1845. Those ships were the cheapest things that would float, too.
