The Kelvinator:

Didn't Cortana capture a convenant ship at some stage? And wasn't oneof the plans for the spartans to capture a covenant ship, fly it totheir homeplanet and blow it up or something?

Cortana captured a Covenant vessel after the events occuring at Installation 04. Not enough time for the UNSC to reverse-engineer the shielding technology (IMO). Plus Earth had to prepare for invasion, since Sierra-117 and Cortana both witnessed a Covenant armada heading for Earth.

Spartan II's were assigned to the Pillar of Autumn before the Halo event to capture a Covenant ship. They were supposed to hijack it, use Cortana to navigate to the Covenant homeworld, and kidnap one of the Prophets. Didn't happen.

 

tmspartan:

I'm not sure about Cortana, but Spartans have captured Covenant Cruisers in the past.

No they haven't.

 

tmspartan:

Andthe plan you're talking about is a plan devised by the UNSC to have theSpartans at Reach hijack a Covenant ship and fly it to the Covenanthomplanet to capture the Covenant leader, and force a treaty to end thewar.

Yes :)

 

Gen C4B0053:

Well, the reason was, the UNSC was losing on the ground AND inspace. They thought "Hmm. I bet if we won on the ground, we could stallthe Covenant long enough to evacuate civilians/key personnel off theplanet. Just think of the 2 choices.

#1. UNSC Super soldiers with shielding now

#2. UNSC Ships with shielding in a few decades.

The UNSC didn't develop shielding until 2552. There was no stalling, and that's not why they did it.

 

The Kelvinator:

Yeah I sorta meant like someone or other captured it and Cortanapiloted it and owned all the covenant ships with it for a while orsomething. idk I remember something about that.

See the first quote, I think you'd be thinking of Halo: First Strike.

 

Oceanborn:

Keep it clean; we've proven our point. No need to be snide about it.

I'll post as I *** well please. If someone is going to make an idiotic comment, they deserve to be called an idiot.

I hate too break it too you... But it was a joke.

Sadly DFang, humor is all but lost here. Tensions run high for some gods-unknown reason, and some people have a humorless stick up their pipe. Chuckle when you can, but don't expect a war audience. Everything's gotta be serious.

I didn't know you meant that it was studied, I just meant that they hijacked it.

"Die?"Kurt laughed."Didn't you know?"he told the Elite. "...Spartans never die."

As far as any of us are aware there have only been 3 known vessels to be "captured" by the UNSC.

1: Ascendant Justice

2: Truth and Reconciliation

3: Bloodied Spirit

All of which were destroyed well before human scientists could get a good look at them. However Cortana was able to copy the layout of the Ascendant Justice and its weapons/slipspace technology. But even then they didnt have enough time to study those files as the Covenant attacked Earth soon afterwards.

 

All of those ships were captured with in a few months of each other. Thats not a very significant amount of ships either.
