Talk:R'shwupa-pattern Phantom

Objection: Encyclopedic Source?
I just looked at the Halo Encyclopedia on page 268, and I saw no mention of the Phantom Gunboat whatsoever anywhere on the either of the pages (268-269). Since I can find no evidence, I'm requesting verification of this so-called source. Xamikaze330 20:25, 24 August 2011 (EDT)Xamikaze330


 * The encyclopedia was made before Reach, so it's likely BS. pestilence   Phil,  pestilence!  22:33, 24 August 2011 (EDT)

Type or Class?
Does anyone have any further data regarding what type or what class this starship belongs? I had hoped to gain further information from the new Halo: The Essential Visual Guide, but it didn't have any new information to offer. I certainly hope there is more information available on this subject of starship, maybe from an employee from Bungie Studios, or maybe 343 Industries, or maybe in the updated Halo Encyclopedia, or some other reference source.

 * In theory, it'd still be a Type-52, but with an alternate classification or sub-designation like "Type-52 Gunship" or "Type-52 Troop Carrier-Gunship (/Gunship)". --WTRiker (talk) 01:34, 15 March 2013 (EDT)

I wish we had more info on it. It was not included as a separate entry in the Visual Guide and I wish we'd been able to include it. There wasn't enough room for text in the Visual Guide to even make mention of it. It's physically larger than a standard Phantom and I've added the craft's dimensions to the page. It's type designation (like the Phantom dropship's T-52 designation) would likely be for the year it was first encountered. Unfortunately we still don't know that info. I'm hoping it will one day be revealed. I hate not knowing this stuff! ScaleMaster117 (talk) 19:20, 7 June 2013 (EDT)
