In Response To: Re: Come and Take Your Medicine Term 1.1 (PerseusSpartacus)

I'd say that there's a difference between a jump to Lh'Owon, and a jump to the Marathon, but now that I remember, the Marathon was initially located above a colony at the time it was attacked, right? Well, that means there was a planet there, which also means there had to be a sun somewhere near it. Since I don't have any details (Distance between the Marathon and a planet/sun and Distance between Lh'Owon and the sun) I can't dwell more on that theory.

..On the other hand, (Apologies in advance, but I'm trying to get in the heads of Devs here) the Covenant ships' Shields were shortly disabled after each FTL Jump. Also, from what I've read, the Jumps don't occur in the blink of an eye, and the exiting location of a ship from Slipspace can be visualized briefly. Perhaps T'fear assumed Durandal would have the advantage, by having most ships within reach and without their shields (And perhaps even weapons systems)?

Perhaps they didn't want to completely destroy Durandal and the Boomer. Perhaps they wanted to capture it and find out something to salvage, like the AI Core, or the reverse-engineered/upgraded technology, which is why Durandal ordered us to "Get rid of him". They'd have easily blew up his ship, but instead they just infiltrated it.

T'fear might have been an experienced Admiral, but he probably underestimated Durandal. We also have to remember that he pointed out how he managed to focus the ships' weapons (Some Ray, which is mentioned in a Terminal that I honestly don't seem to be able to find out, for some reason) to considerably increase it's range. T'fear's ships couldn't damage the Boomer from a safe distance, so they must have tried to teleport far enough and start approaching it, in order to attack key points of the ship, forcing it to land, before infiltrating it.
