      I think there must be a lore mistake. A normal frigate MAC round is about 9,1m long an weight 600t. That means this round must be around 2,085 m in diameter (if it is pure tungsten). A round from an orbital defense super mac weight around 3000t. The MAC of the USNC Infinity has 27 m bore diameter. If the round is only 1 m long it weights 11000 t. If the length to diamter ratio is the same as the one of the frigate round it would weight around 1,3 Million t. Isn’t that a mistake (a little bit overpowered) compared to the other MACs?

      without any cutscene magic or hovering capacity it should have just instantly crashed back down into the ground.

    The Infinity is the ultimate case of "don't put all your eggs in one basket," seriously, they could've built a whole fleet of Autumn-class cruisers and their escorts as opposed to tying down resources with building another one of these and the one they had, sure it was powerful but it could only be in one place and if it got cornered and destroyed by more numerous enemies, as we saw in Halo Infinite, your whole navy is hosed as their most powerful weapon is gone and with it half your fleet's resources.

      Yes, the Infinity is truly the "culmination of human achievement"(from commissioning ceremony)😁.

No dice aside from that dead Guardian, but it did give me the conclusion that if it *had* crashed on 07, it would most certainly be a priority fortification for all warring parties, no matter its state.
    Does give me hope that it's still out there, though. Also didn't even consider that the Eternity is still a possibility -- thanks, Spacedock! :D

    One thing that bothers me about UNSC ships is that the command bridge is put at the front of the ship or in exposed positions with windows. Good examples of this are the Spirit of Fire and Infinity. The command bridge should always be deep inside the ship.

    • @jaredevans8263
      @jaredevans8263 Před 2 lety +5

      That's one thing the Covenant were smart about with their ship designs. Like the CCS battlecruiser for example, the bridge was deep in the belly of the ship. However, placing the bridge closer to an external surface with windows does come with the benefit of being able to see and navigate with sensors and other electronics offline. I bet if a Covenant ship's outer hull took too much widespread damage, there would be no sensors and whatnot left to relay data and visual input to the bridge since there are no windows

    • @jaredevans8263
      @jaredevans8263 Před rokem +2

      @berkehan4808 you're right about combat ranges, but the benefit of external bridge windows is for navigation, visual awareness and backup utility, not combat. In fact a bridge designed purely with combat in mind would be placed deep in the belly of the ship like the Covenant tend to do. However it puts awareness and navigation purely in the hands of sensors and radar. I think it was Halo First Strike iirc during the Great Schism battle, one of the Covenant ships took damage to one side which knocked out external sensors and made the crew "blind" on that side, unable to track targets or navigate in that direction. That wouldn't be as severe of a problem on UNSC ships because with their external viewports they can still visually see the battle in that direction and make some decisions based on that info. That's why our modern naval ships at sea today still have bridges with many external windows in spite of our ever advancing radar and sensor tech

      Unlikely. Eternity’s systems were given to the Infinity post Requiem campaign, and the ship itself decommissioned. Those are one of a kind systems, mind you. And obviously, the UNSC isn’t in any state to get their hands on more, being on the run and resorting to SPI armor for S4s

    Infinity has the same problem as Daedalus, Prometheus and Star Trek(the show ones) ships - it can do everything better then anyone. Despite not having clear specialization, half the facilities needed for certain roles, lacking required design features and so on. When Star Trek hit videogames, they started spawning dozens of specialized ships with clear roles(whom are sadly undermined by solo ship exploration doctrine of starfleet). Best at everything ever bar none. Eh...

    • @CtisGaming
      @CtisGaming Před 2 lety +9

      The Daedalus has all those feature because it was a testbed for every alien technology humanity had collected up to that point. It was simply the best at any given point because it's upgraded first. The Infinity is so crazy because it's the first to get Forerunner tech implemented into it. It can afford to up its size because all of it systems and outputs directly scaled with it. Also it started as a colony ship for all of Earth giving it a massive space frame to work w/ that couldn't be justified for other ships when they changed it's role to that of a dedicated warship.
      Star Fleet is so far ahead of most civilizations in its tech that single ships can fix suns and single handedly repair planets. They literally materialize their basic needs from an endless energy source. Station proximity and layout are also less of a problem when you can teleport massive amount of crew either remotely or together to whatever position they need to be when a battle starts. That said, their overcharge and power conversion systems let them change their ship's specialization on the fly. They can still be overpowered by other vessels, it just takes a lot and those specialized ships have their weakness baked in.

      It is a rebuilding period, the losses for the UNSC where on a planetary scale across hundreds of worlds.
      While Naval rebuilding was certainly a priority in the post-war period, so was rebuilding dozens of important core worlds and key infrastructure to not only regain what was lost, but to prepare for the next major problem and in the Halo universe those are far too common.
      The Created uprising further pushed back on all these plans as dozens of Human worlds (specifically core worlds) where under lockdown and basically without major technological capabilities for months, until Cortana's destruction and the Guardian lockdown lifted.
      As of now the UEG and the UNSC, following the end of the Created conflict are in crisis regrouping mode, trying to establish basic governance and communication as fast as possible, while more complex infrastructure and naval buildups will have to wait until basic government services are re established.

    • @midnightfenrir
      @midnightfenrir Před 2 lety

      The Covenant literally GLASSES every human occupied planet they came across. The loss of life after the war on humanities side is in the trillions, planets in the HUNDREDS. They barely even have a fleet at the end and I'm pretty sure Earth Fleet was the single largest remaining afterwards.
      You also need to keep in mind in the background is ongoing war between various factions of Post Covenant groups. Part of what the UNSC was doing post war was sowing seeds between these groups so no faction rose up to remake another Covenant movement. Diplomatically they were trying to sure up their alliance with the sanghelios and other groups friendly to humanity.
      Remember not all groups were happy to be within the Covenant and there was a lot of infighting. The Post War period was even more hectic due to insurgents rising again to throw off UNSC control.
      Humanity itself was rebuilding Earth and it's defenses. Infinities main role was force projection and showing everyone else that we had become dangerous.

    I love the Infinity but i hate how it went down personally. If you were to tell me that the infinity got destroyed by a large banished fleet i would believe it and be happy. If it went down swinging i would have been even happier. But in the battle over Zeta halo the UNSC Infinity and the 6 Mulsanne light frigates that were escorting her got swamped. They got attacked by 4 Banished dreadnoughts (The UNSC Infinity is twice the size of these vessels) and the aftermath of the battle is the Infinity is destroyed, 2 Mulsannes are confirmed to be dead (I assume the others are dead but they may have retreated) and for their losses the UNSC only managed to cripple but not destroy 1 Banished dreadnought. Which just feels underwhelming to me. Again im fine with the Infinity going down(it wouldnt be the first time) but this is the supposed end of a very important and cool vessel. Let alone the fact that this battle only took minutes which would have been nicer if it was a little longer. Maybe if the Infinity had no escort and managed to take out a Dreadnought before it went out i would be happier but as it stands to me its just underwelming for a supposably very powerful ship and it feels like this scene is just here to say "ooooo banished scary" (Which they are you dont need this scene to play out like this to make me think that)
