Talk:Ruma-pattern light carrier

Fact Or Fiction

 * This ship is a lower class then the assalit carrier.
 * Definately concur. The maximum length for the Covenant Carrier is 1999 meters, whilest that of the Assault Carrier is like 5346 meters.
 * Also, isn't assuming the Lawgiver is an Assault Carrier some of that "rampant speculation" you are always condemning, Yamanba.--Rotaretilbo 17:42, 06 December 2006
 * I removed the FactOrFiction template because assuming the Covenant Carrier is the Covenant Assault Carrier is rampant speculation, and I know Yamanba hates rampant speculation.--Rot 2015 9.12.06
 * The Rampant Speculation is you Speculating that this Ship Classification even exists. Common sense would dictate that this is an Assault Carrier.  To say its a whole new class of ship is rampant Speculation.  Once we have some dimensions we'll know for sure. -- Yamanba 06:54, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
 * And common sense would dictate the rank system used by the UNSC is the American system, but you call that rampant speculation. Now, turn with me to page 297 of Halo: First Strike: "There were Covenant cruisers and larger carriers; there were even bigger vessels with five bulbous sections that were two kilometers stem to stern and had a dozen deadly energy projectors." Now, if these new vessels are larger than carriers, then carriers are smaller than 2000m. Now, even assuming the Ascendant Justice is an Assault Carrier, the smallest Assault Carrier is 3000m. See any problems with your theory? As I have said before, I think you should try double checking instead of making everyone else prove themselves. I am sick of arguing with your double standard, where when you speculate, it is common sense, but when someone else speculates, it is rampant speculation. I am going to remove the Fact Or Fiction template again.--Rot 1542 11.12.06
 * Furthermore, Ghosts of Onyx states that a UNSC Destroyer careened into a carrier three times its length. 485 meters x 3 = 1455 meters. The Assault Carrier is what...5340+ meters? Also, Yamamba, even if it is ambiguous that there's a seperate carrier classification, then this "Covenant Carrier" would serve as a placeholder classification, as per standard logic and Wookieepedia standards. Thank you, Rot. Cheers,  Relentless  Recusant [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] 02:16, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I always wondered where you got that length from...lol--Rotaretilbo 03:29, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * No problemo, Rot. May I call you "Rot" for short? Cheers,  -49 Proximal Secant [ Relentless  Recusant [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]]] 11:19, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Certainly--Rot 22:37, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Compliment
Where did you get the fighter and dropship numbers from, in Fall of Reach Keyes mentions that they carry over 100 single ships and they drop 34 dropships on Sigma Octanis

OK
Whoever edited the page to say this is not the ship from Halo Wars is incorrect. The called it a Carrier so it makes no sense to say that its not a carrier.

Link please
Can you please give me a link to were it's CONFIRMED that it is a carrier please? Just because an article calls it an carrier doesn't neccesarely mean it's true, until confirmed by bungie or ensemble that this particular ship is the covenant carrier this ship isn't the covenant carrier.

Why yes look at the artical: "The Covenant have the use of massive orbital carriers" If it was a cruiser or a destroyer than it would be said a Destroyer. Clearly these articles are based on information released by Ensemble Studios. The books have contradicted the game before one of the most major is the Ghosts of Onyx stated only 100 Covenant ships were stationed in orbit around High Charity when in fact over a thousand were stationed in orbit. --[

One article in a game preview hardly proves anything, they could have called the ship "supercruiser" and people like you would instantly consider this true, even if it came from an article you found on the web, until directly confirmed by ensemble or bungie. And i doubt IGN knows anything about covenant starship classifications, when they said "massive orbital carriers" it was probably just to enhance the feeling of "mightyness" when glassing a planet. I suggest you take a look at this: instead of making more of your claims.
