Talk:Repulsor engine

Gettysburg
According to the article, "the was briefly outfitted with one from the Ascendant Justice." Did they actually move sublight drive units from the AJ to the Gettysburg? I recall them only cannibalizing the AJ ' s slipspace drive at the end. For much of the book the Gettysburg did move under the Ascendant Justice ' s power, but wasn't that only because the two ships were essentially strapped together rather than them actually outfitting the Gettysburg with a Covenant drive? --Jugus (talk) 07:49, 25 April 2017 (EDT)

Reactionless drive?
Does the new info from Warfleet confirm the Repulsor Engine to be a reactionless drive? Cos that sounds like something the Forerunners would've of used instead of Reaction drives. Wouldn't a reactionless drive be more advanced then a reaction drive or would it not matter. I know the Covenant likely got the repulsor engine tech from Forerunner tech but it still seems odd to me that they'd use a reactionless drive when the Forerunners didn't assuming i'm right about the nature of the engine. Or does it not matter as to the nature of the tech or how advanced it is, only the speed and velocities that's it's capable of and it's advantages or disadvantages?
