>>6021480I mentioned Ket cruisers specifically because I was mostly thinking about the Plasma Lances the Ket & larger ships carry. Because back in thread 6 we(I wasn't there back then) came up against a battlecruiser as well.
In that battle, the cruiser we were facing was likely an Elefen-pattern battlecruiser. It used a "blue energy projector" which was likely a Plasma lance as well. So I thought about it and concluded that the UNSC might not even know the difference between the Plasma Lance and Plasma cannon. Since most likely anyone who got into a fight with a ship large enough to field a Lance likely didn't survive to show its data back in UNSC space. As you said, Not every engagement is listed as most ended in catastrophic failure. Thus, I just thought it might've been prudent to get more lances (and general weaponry) back if possible. But yeah... We keep priorities.
...Also because I had a faint hope it might be fitted onto our ship. It likely wouldn't of course. But a man can dream of something cool.
And thanks. I am trying however I can. As a newbie to Halo, I've been trying to learn whatever I can wherever I can :)
