  1. "There were those who said this day never come. What have they to say now."
    After the initial trailer & the side videos to build up on various components of it. It's wonderful to see the MDB of the CAS. Just imagine the awe & terror the people of the UNSC/UEG felt when one was seen to be around, & the effort needed to take one down.
    Also, it would be cool to see more cases of a CAS doing modular hull separations.

  2. 58 gigatons needed to drop the shields? This begs the question(s) what's a nova bombs yield? And if a CCS shield is near this level then no amount of sheva nukes carried by a single ship or, even three on one should have been able to drop a covey ships shields, nor their macs. A covenant corvette had its shield dropped by a SINGLE plasma torpedo, the ship was then destroyed by a sheva nuke. A Corvette isnt a CCS but does a plasma torpedo have at least 40 gigatons (a Corvette would have proprotionaly lower shield strength going by this video) worth of yield? I know you are working with what you have lore wise so it's not yourself I'm frustrated with – so much, but this just brings halo into warhammer territory. I've always tried to forgive halos sci fantasy leanings as much as I can, for instance one meter cubed of a ring would have to be created every second for it to be finished in three months. That's everything in the creation of the ring from the extraction of raw materials to the wildlife and trees. One meter cubed a second for three months. That's just for the newest rings sizes. Yet we see in infinite, the forerunners manufacturing wasn't that fast, as we see the ring repairing itself. Their whole forge worlds etc simply defy well…..science. you'd have to build those forges to build everything else etc, the time it would take without "fantasy" is simply impossible. Same for the CAS. its power plants simply would not supply the power needed for such feats. Like you yourself pointed out high charities reactors weren't effective enough to supply power to the city, so they used the key ships power as an alternate source. And a CAS is orders of magnitude smaller. I'm really, really stuck with halo, I like a lot of things about it, especially if I turn a blind eye to certain things but the more I look at what they have done and are doing the more uninterested I am in it. From ships sizes being not what they are claimed to be, to armour thickness. A unsc frigates armour is supposed to be what, two meters thick? Yet in infinite we get to see multiple crashed frigates with armour at most two feet thick comprised of different layers. And a CCS is supposed to have armour thirty meters thick, THIRTY METRES!!!

    And the CAS doesn't use repulsor engines. They are shown to operate like ion thruster engines. And this makes perfect sense since the electrons can be siphoned from the fusion reactors. I'll give you an example of a craft using replusor engines a goauld hatak warship. This craft can rotate 360 on its axis (like a typical saucer ufo), while encircling an enemy ship at the same time and there is NO sight of conventional thrusters anywhere. That's using advanced gravidics, kind of like the forerunners torsion drives. But the CAS is visually shown to use what look like ion thrusters, not replusor engines.

  3. As much as I love Human spaceships (UNSC Infinity 4 life) highly advanced alien ships have always had more interest to me. Among all these the Covenant ships are my number 1 favorite ships. I absolutely adore the CAS carriers. Can't wait for more covenant ships and weapons.

    On that note (unless I missed it), I would love to see a video on the effects of glassing. The Covenant use it so regularly that it can hardly be classified as something like a nuclear deterrent and MAD. Still a WMD but they use it so much and we have seen various effect from it. Such as the burning of New Alexandria on Reach were the burning destruction is more spread out visibly but then we get digging effects like Harvest and Kholo where its more centralized on the beam.

  4. @installation00 you messed up the squared qubed law. If twice the length/height and mass times volume ie mass ^3 is 4^3=64. If twice the length, and mass different than that; that mistake is way higher. We all mess things up, I'm an engineer I know this.

  5. I haven't even watched the whole video yet. But from just that intro, I can already tell the quality and depth I'm about to experience. Your channel does such an amazing work with these Halo vids. Keep up the blessing work and you shall walk the path to the divine beyond. Garanteed.

  6. one last comment.
    covenant vs imperium who can win?
    the imperium's sheer numbers and the "wall of guns" strategy.
    or the cov's hi-tech military equipment, with great numbers of fighting units?
    i know its a stupid question, but hey i like these!

  7. It's interesting to think that while the Covenant is technologically way ahead of humanity in the Halo universe, they are also at the same time in many ways behind humanity due to their imitative and not innovative approach to tech, plus that they utilize a caste based system for their society. I wonder if the covenant did not have access to great amounts of Forerunner tech, and we assume they somehow made contact with each other without getting a head start via found Forerunner tech, and were an empire, what would the technological difference level between humanity and them be like? I have a feeling the Covenant would still be ahead, due to many species for one, so many different points of view and thought to use, and thus also many more resources being available to them to approach technology development, but not by leaps and jumps, since they wouldn't have gotten a major head start by picking apart Forerunner tech.

  8. Man i love your content! but could you do some videos on the star citezin universe? there are a whole lot of well designed ships which would make for very interesting videos. although the scale of their ships is usually on the smaller side as compared to the halo universe.

  9. A single CAS outmasses entire fleets of science fiction factions while having half a million warriors and an unholy amount of support craft. And the Covenant fielded hundreds of them…

  10. I always thought the only reason the Spirit of Fire survive the Enduring Conviction was it was just in the same shape as Spirit as used up most of it fuel getting to the Ark where Spirit of Fire MAC guns were off line but a CAS could swarm the old girl anyway

  11. I tried to find other halo lore channels but none can compare to Installation 00’s. I’d rather rewatch every video time and time over. Just something about this guy is complex and interesting!
