Talk:UNSC Spirit of Fire

The icy unknown planet might be Harvest before its atmosphere dissipated.--Ryanngreenday 18:34, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah! good piont, Do you think you fight the battle for the harvest system then ? --Climax Viod 19:15, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

I hope not I don't like losing and I dislike even more when you have to win you defeet the enemy then in the cutscene you lose when you shouln't.--Ryanngreenday 19:34, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

actually, eventaully the UNSC takes it back. I think it's 2531, or near then. so it's possible! -SpecOps306

It might be another time anomaly because of all the things like battle rifles and mark 6 armor --Climax Viod 19:37, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

whats Phoenix-classfaction ED? --Climax Viod 19:31, 28 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't know. Its the first time I've heard of it. But look at the ship's symbol, go to the "images" section of the halowars.com site, when you click on an image and it opens in a new window. The ship symbol is there, along with all this info. (Hit stop on your browser before the pic fully loads) -ED 19:42, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

ok thanks


 * I would venture to guess CFV would mean something like "Fast Carrier" (similar to a Strike Carrier, perhaps?). I'm basing this on the use of similar Hull Classification Symbols used in Star Fleet Battles, where the "C" commonly meant Cruiser, and "V" was used for carriers, (In SFB, carriers were usually built based on cruiser hull size equivalent designs.)...I'm guessing the "F" is for designation of a Fast Variant. Note that this is conjecture on my part though.

Another thing to think about, using the United States Navy designation, CV does mean carrier, but CF means Flight deck Cruiser. This could be relevant Darkfire27983 22:49, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Fixed a spelling error
Heavy was spelled wrong. --JohnSpartan117 01:48, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

SOURCES Does not cite its source Is it from a book, comic or game?

It is from an RTS game called Halo Wars.  The God Of War  (Speak with Me)   (My Work)   15:17, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Spirit of Fire a Super Carrier?
Read the headline it is possible that the Spirit of Fire is a super carrier it is Possible?
 * Anything is possible at this point, there are no released details about the game yet. -- ED ( talk )(gaming) 16:48, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Age?
The ship's symbol says it was constructed in the year 2418, does that mean the ship is over 100 years old? --SILENT ONE 21:21, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Yup, looks like it. -- UNSC Trooper  TalkMy Work 14:06, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Contact Harvest and The Picture
I don't remember anything in Contact Harvest about a polar area. JanSpartan117  BLAM! Grunts Rule! 05:00, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, and waht does Contact Harvest have to do with the Spirit of Fire? The Spirit of Fire doesn't go to Harvest in the game. --Ajax 013 06:31, 11 November 2007 (UTC)


 * What? Yes it does. That's where the game is set.  Specops306 ,  Kora 'Morhek  23:27, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

First of all the spratans have mark 4 armor not 6 for halo wars. Second the Spirit of Fire is a colony ship which is turn into a UNSC ship during war time.

==Snow(?)==

Are we sure it's snow? Volcanic ash looks similar to snow, though darker. Considering the fact that it was just glassed, I'm not discounting the possibility that it's not snow they're wading through but the incinerated remains of the colony world's surface drifting back down through the atmosphere. Their gear could be meant to stop them from inhaling the ash, which is extremely dangerous. Does anyone else think the same?  Specops306 ,  Kora 'Morhek  23:27, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Wrong talk page. Sorry.  Specops306 ,  Kora 'Morhek  00:01, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Change
Note that Ensemble Studios changed the date of construction from 2418 to 2473! -- UNSC Trooper  TalkMy Work 10:15, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Trivia(?)
What relevance has the Captain Keyes part got to do with the article? There's nothing in the Halo Canon to suggest that the Spirit of Fire was the ship Keyes saved, so i'm removing it.  Specops306 ,  Kora 'Morhek  23:54, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Starship Troopers
The albatross on the side of the hull must have been copied from the Rodger Young launching dropships from the side

They Are Heavy Dropship's. Shipmaster117 10:32, 2 November 2008 (UTC)


 * They aren't Albatrosses. They're much larger, and fulfill a different function than the Albatross. As for whether they copied Starship Troopers, I refuse to see it on principle given the atrocious acting and stereotypical plot, and the fact that it's almost a spoof of the original novel. --  Councillor  Specops306  -  Kora   'Morhek  10:54, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Carrier vs. Colony Ship
spirit of fire is a colony ship because it was used to colonies planets and a super-carrier isn't used for those purposes. it is definitely a colony ship, a phoenix class colony ship.plus it is a woping 4.7km long. so yeh it is a colony ship. wouldn't it be so cool if we could pilot the spirit of fire and start firing its mac. probably a super mac if you ask me. start destroying other ships. if you go on YouTube look for the halo wars demos. pods come down from spirit of fire to build a base


 * For all intents and purposes, it is a Carrier. It transports military equipment and personnel, and is operated by the military to participate in military operations. It used to be a colony ship until it recieved a refit, adding more armour and weapons. Given that it is no longer used to colonise any planets, it no longer is a colony ship. And your length is wrong - its 2.7 kilometers, not 4.7 - anonymous IP's keep spamming the page with the incorrect number. -- Councillor  Specops306  -  Qur'a  'Morhek  20:57, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

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.


 * It WAS a colony ship, now a military carrier.  1st Class   Cadet   ONI recon 111  |  [[Image:1227612553 First3.jpg|30px]] 20:21, 2 January 2009 (UTC)


 * As per ONI, the emphasis on your statement is on re-purposed.-- Councillor   Specops 306  -  Qur'a  'Morhek  21:12, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

its a colony ship you don't read the article about spirit of fire do you it is obviously a colony ship proof... .the lead designer says it is a RE-PURPOSED COLONY SHIP OR MODIFIED COLONY SHIP FITTED WITH A MAC, ARCHER PODS AND OTHER ARMAMENTS .IT CARRIES SUPPLIES AND SENDS THEM DOWN TO THE GROUND VIA ALBATROSS DROPSHIP .IT HOUSES BUILDING MATERIALS AND WEAPONS, VEHICLES, AND AIRCRAFT. ADMIT IT IS A COLONY SHIP YOU CAN MODIFY A CIVILIAN SHIP INTO A WARSHIP WHILE STILL KEEPING ITS CLASS OR TYPE OF SHIP. JUST BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN MODIFIED INTO WARTIME USE DOESN'T MEAN IT ALL OF A SUDDEN IT BECOMES A CARRIER. AND WITH PROOF IT IS A COLONY SHIP WHY DON'T YOU PROVE ME WRONG!!!!!

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. -- UNSC Trooper  TalkMy Work 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. 5th January 2009.

or could spirit of fire be a super-carrier due to its immense size and firepower. Are you saying it is still a flaming pigeon class colony ship but it is used as a carrier/super-carrier. It is used as a super-carrier/carrier.

Exact Measures
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

yeah it is confusing because if spirit of is modified than it should be...you know...loooooooonger.

MAC(s)
In this front view of the ship I think we can see 3 mac guns... http://www.graemedevine.com/graemedevine/Spirit_of_Fire/Entries/2009/1/25_Medbay_-_the_cat_is_pregnant_files/shapeimage_1.png

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?
