:::Becoming a ship captain means you have some level of competency (unless you're CDR Miranda Keyes). I'm not saying that he's dumb either as all senior officers go through a myriad of training regimens, simply that he makes incredibly poor decisions as a commander of a cR hemorrhaging warship housing nearly 20,000 crew. {{User:Grizzlei/Sig}} | :::Becoming a ship captain means you have some level of competency (unless you're CDR Miranda Keyes).

Upon Lasky re-establishing communications, Del Rio showed little to no concern for Lasky, demanding information on the Gravity Well. He then failed to provide secure evacuation for Lasky and his squad, telling him to simply "Make it happen." | ||
Similarly, Del Rio showed complete disregard for John-117 - a very seasoned and experienced soldier - calling him an "Aging Spartan" as though he were suffering from delusions and memory lapses (not to mention in light of dangerous intel.) Del Rio seemed to be against intelligence of any sort, flat-out denying a reconnaissance run during the assault on the Gravity Well that very likely could have made the operation far more successful and saved him damage to the Mammoth. During this encounter, he even brings into question John-117's military experience, saying that he knows "[He's] been off the field for a while." Del Rio shows no regard for his crew, strong war assets like John-117, or basic military procedures such as reconnaissance and information-sharing. He treats bringing soldiers up to speed as a tedious task, rather than a necessary process for tactical advantage. | |||
Lastly, through ignorance of John's intel on the Didact, he failed to take proper actions in halting the Didact's plans, and exposed Earth and all of mankind to a vastly superior threat. Though I am loathe to acknowledge Traviss' writing, Parangosky's assessment of Del Rio is apt; he's a manager, not a captain.[[User:Ocean Soul|Ocean Soul]] ([[User talk:Ocean Soul|talk]]) 19:53, 21 April 2013 (EDT) | |||
:::::At the very least, in ''The Thursday War'', it's established that Parangosky doesn't have too high an opinion of Del Rio and would have preferred Lasky as the ship commander (or something similar, been awhile since I've read the excerpt). On the other, I do admit to preferring the old image.--[[User talk:Hawki|Hawki]] 19:25, 26 September 2012 (EDT) | :::::At the very least, in ''The Thursday War'', it's established that Parangosky doesn't have too high an opinion of Del Rio and would have preferred Lasky as the ship commander (or something similar, been awhile since I've read the excerpt).

:::::I don't see where you get "lifeless." To me, I see a look of curiosity as well as contempt, disdain and lack of trust towards John-117 [seen in the full screenshot]. {{User:Grizzlei/Sig}} | :::::I don't see where you get "lifeless."
