spirit of fire is a colony ship cause it sends down albatrosses to the ground that carry supplies and building materials . how on earth can it be a carrier when the lead designer of HALO WARS says that it is a RE-PURPOSED COLONY SHIP and was assigned to military use. And on the spirit of fire article it says it is a colony ship.

Yes, you can keep the ship's previous class and designation, but the very fact that the Spirit of Fire has been ''re-fitted'' or ''re-purposed'' obviously indicates it doesn't serve as a colony ship anymore. It serves as a military warship and also ''ACTS'' as a [[carrier]]. The difference consists in its activity and current purpose, not in its class. --[[User:UNSC Trooper|<font color="darkblue">UNSC Trooper</font>]] File:unsctrooper_small.jpg|14px]] <sup>[[User talk:UNSC Trooper|<font color="green">Talk</font>]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/UNSC Trooper|<font color="green">My Work</font>]]</sub> 17:54, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

so it is still a colony ship but assigned for military purposes and needs. you can get military colony ships/warships.

Hello, I just know here in Halopedia. I've been absent for quite a while but I have returned. There is only one question: In the article "List of Starships" the [[Phoenix-class Colony Ship]] is 4700 meters in the list but in the article "[[UNSC Spirit of Fire]]" is the 2.5 km. I am someone please clarify the doubt, will thank you a lot. [[User:H A L O Legend|H A L O Legend]]

isn't it possible that the spirit of fire has 4 MAC guns because on the level dome of  light at the end you got to shoot through that big  hole in the shield dome but when serina takes control she says that the MAC's are online and she goes crazy with the MAC gun(s). just a theory.
it's possible that it has 4 MAC guns because you can fire 4 rounds in rapid succession one after another or it's just a MAC gun with...a bit too much juice!!
it is possible, but improbable. even if the ship was designed to fire shots with less power, the ability to recapture the cannons charge wasn't seen until 2552 on the PoA. Also, it is improbable that the ship could land the rounds with such accuracy. Take the ODST pods for example, even in 2552 with thrusters and even an AI and a firing system designed to fire into atmosphere, they didn't land precisely on target. So it seems unlikely that an unguided MAC round would be able to. Would it be more practical to just assume that the feature was added to balance the gameplay, but isn't as accurate with previous cannon as it should be?
I don't find it at all improbable, not least because the US military has purposed more or less exactly the same thing before:
http://www.popsci.com/scitech/article/2004-06/rods-god
As for rapid fire people boggling over it are making two key mistakes IMO:
-Assuming All MAC guns are the same caliber and same cyclic rate, clearly already untrue just by looking at the gun on the back of the Hog.
-Assuming the gun must discharge at maximum output for every shot, also untrue as the nice thing about an EM gun like this is that more juice equals more push, but less still gives SOME push. There is no real reason the gun couldn't be fired rapidly at say 10% power if the loading system could support it.
Going by the above the Spirits MAC gun power isn't hard to explain at all the MAC is simply firing at lower power settings feed by a large reactor array. Plantside effects reinforce this as if it was a full size MAC round firing at C fractional speeds the effect would not be like a large conventional bomb it would be like the Tsar bomb (at least). The MAC being used in game for fire support is likely loaded with lightweight bombardment rounds (probably with some guidance in the form of fins or such) at lower power settings for close support of ground troops. (Since hurling what amounts to nuclear weapons near friendly potions is discouraged...) [[User talk:TK3997|TK3997]] 02:23, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
== Weapons ==
what about the large deployable cannons which rise up to combat the enemy Destroyer after coliding with it, i do not believe these to be 50mm PDF guns simply because of their size and the difference between them and the ones seen on the UNSC Frigate 'Forward Unto Dawn' aswell as this the rounds seen firing are a single rouind that looks something like that of a Gauss cannon? '''[[User:J!MMY8806|<font color="blue">J!MMY</font>]]''[[User talk:J!MMY8806|<font color="silver">8806</font>]]''' 19:00, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
Also on 'Mission 6: Dome of Light' on Halo Wars toward the end of the mission after penetrating the bubble shield the ship's A.I. speaks to the player telling him he has control of a cannon which is what the other MAC's must be, and at the beginning of the mission the captain asks if they could destroy the shield with their cannons.

the canons that rise up from spirit of fire are deck guns used for direct combat.

it would be logical to assume that they would be used for direct combat because slugs of that low mass would never be able to used for a space to ground assault. Also, the point of a defense system is to be able eliminate single ships. Gauss Cannons take time to recharge, so would be ineffective against single ships that have shields that could deflect the first shot. [[User talk:Psycho60|Psycho60]] 00:51, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

:As stated, every ship would have Bumblebee Lifepods, the real question is if you consider them compliment.  I personally don't know, mostly because I define compliment as something that assists in combat (space or otherwise).  However, Bumblebees are specifically to get out of combat and away from danger. Of course, I may be entirely wrong.[[User talk:XRoadToDawnX|XRoadToDawnX]] 21:46, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

== List of commanders ==
I was playing the HW level "Cleansing" today and noticed an interesting detail. On the side of the ship there's a list of previous commanders of the Spirit of Fire. Some of the names and years aren't clear, but it reads something like this:
*Cutter: 2520-
*Alexander: 2513-2520
*Roggan: 2507-2513
*Johnson: 2499-2505
*Donald: 2491-2499
*Rehkov: 24XX-2491
*Coleman: 2473-2484
== The Bridge ==
I was looking at the Spirit of Fire and thought the Bridge was at the front-top of the ship. Then I noticed in the "Descent" cutscene, the Bridge is on the fin. Am i looking at this right?
it has both a bridge up top and then an observation deck down low, that's the room with the glass floor and stuff from the cutscenes I think
==Possible Trivia: SoF Emblem ~ BSG-75 Emblem==
It just occurred to me that the ''Spirit of Fire'''s emblem is similar to the [http://toraiinxamikaze.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d3b9syo BSG-75 ship emblem] often seen in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlestar_Galactica re-imagined television series called ''Battlestar Galactica''], usually during the opening credits, but hardly ever actually seen mounted anywhere in the ship itself in any scene. I thought this might make an interesting trivia reference, that is possible, however maybe unlikely, that the SoF emblem was inspired by Battlestar Galactica. I would have already added it to the Trivia section of the article, but I wanted to know what others think of this. Depending on the result of this discussion will determine whether or not this will be added, though personally I think it should be added. --[[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 14:10, 10 December 2011 (EST)Xamikaze330

I just moved the army out from under the marines in the info box as that was saying there are 6,000 marines and of them 2,000 are army personnel. I am not sure about the ODST as I now read it as there are 6,000 marines and 1,000 of them are ODSTs, but how I read it in Warfleet is that there are 6,000 marines and additionally 1,000 ODSTs for a total of 7,000 Marine Corps personnel.
