In Response To: Re: Can somebody tell me something? (Jeff)
: I understand the concept of 'slipstream' or 'slipspace' (whichever you
: prefer) i was asking why they contraditted themselves through out FoR.
: Halo was a blind jump. But they can aslo go into slipstream or slipspace
: and get to a spot that is relativley close to where they want to go? If
: that's the case, why don't they set up one rondevue (ron-de-vou) (sorry
: i'm not french) point away from teh earth where there are some UNSC ships
: and just blow the smitherines out of teh covanant ships? I know we need
: every ship back at reach at this point but whatever. I was asking why can
: they sometimes pinpoint where they are going to go and sometimes not.
The Covenant are able to travel faster and more accurately than the UNC in Slipstream. So an ambush probably wouldn?t work in our favor.
