If you say so.Mate, we're both going in completely different directions with our arguments to the point that both are right and wrong... You and everyone else are absolutely right, the facts show that its highly likely Solemn Penance is extremely strong. Everyone else has also been providing nice evidence, but logic says otherwise in some cases. That's were we're all right and wrong.
also, you did see the rockets assisting the PoA's take off in reach right? that would be how it got into orbit...
If you say so. Pretty much everything you said has no formal backing though, or even logic to it. Physics are fucked in Halo.
Yes, I saw the rockets and as soon as it got into the air they ejected them. In reality, the PoA would have smashed into the ground and/or crushed itself.
There's a reason the only ships rated for atmosphere are frigates, and even that's screwy. There was a marine talking about Forward Unto Dawn and asking if it was "rated for atmosphere", in The Ark I believe.
