Talk:Egret Spaceliner

Size
Any indication on the size of this thing in terms of length? I don't have access to Reach at the moment so I couldn't hazard a guess. I'm assuming more ship-sized than aircraft, seeing as it has room for 600 passengers... Diaboy 14:55, 25 December 2010 (EST)
 * My bad, 600 passengers is the approximate capacity of 747 and Antonov 225 sized aircraft. I'm assuming this is similar - but Halopedia is no place for guestimates, was just for a personal project. 79.160.40.41 16:53, 26 December 2010 (EST) (sorry, this was me, forgot to sign in!)

Buoyancy
Today's commercial airplanes are designed to float for a period when landing in water, naturally so passengers can evacuate, so how come this transport craft, despite being more advanced, immediately sank upon hitting the water? Tuckerscreator (stalk ) 19:19, 22 August 2011 (EDT)


 * Not really sure. I guess it could be because it's a spacecraft, and made of titanium A, which I am fairly certain isn't buoyant. I doubt if it was designed with emergency water landings in mind so much as emergency atmospheric landings/space disasters. Also, it had just taken a large hit from a covenant corvette, which would have created a massive hull breech. pestilence   Phil,  pestilence!  19:48, 22 August 2011 (EDT)
