''(reset indent)'' Going back to the question given to me, I'm simply going along with [[UNSC_Majestic#cite_ref-class_1-0|this note]] on the [[UNSC Majestic]] article, which makes sense (or some sense) from the actual conversation on Reflection's radio. As to why it is capable of firing MAC rounds at such rate, do note that the figures from FoR only applies to POA and Commonwealth-class (though one can make an argument that the figures are capable of being extended to all cruisers and frigates). Do note that there might be other factors contributing to the destruction of the three CSSs, such as their potential position (i.e. they were on top one another, thus making it easier), one CSS crashed into another as it took damage and thus lowered the shields of the other CSS and therefore making it easier for Majestic, etc. Whatever it is... firing six rounds in three shots is still an overkill compared to firing one round per shot. As for the recharge rate, it is possible that they rerouted the power from the engines into the MAC capacitor, thus allowing quick recharge rate (like how Keyes told Hikowa at the end of FoR). Then again, it could be that destroyers have faster recharge rate since... well... they're destroyers. — <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 19:53, 22 January 2013 (EST) | ''(reset indent)'' Going back to the question given to me, I'm simply going along with [[UNSC_Majestic#cite_ref-class_1-0|this note]] on the [[UNSC Majestic]] article, which makes sense (or some sense) from the actual conversation on Reflection's radio.

:If that is true, then if the recharge time difference between the destroyers and cruisers (and presuambly colony ships and frigates as well) is so vast, as in several minutes to maybe ten seconds vast... why doesn't the UNSC just produce nothing but destroyers? Is this a plothole, a case of them not charging them to full power (unlikely given that they one-shotted the cruisers), or a retcon?--[[Special:Contributions/68.8.14.28|68.8.14.28]] 20:12, 23 January 2013 (EST) | :If that is true, then if the recharge time difference between the destroyers and cruisers (and presuambly colony ships and frigates as well) is so vast, as in several minutes to maybe ten seconds vast... why doesn't the UNSC just produce nothing but destroyers?

::I'm just going to go with "Covenant ships aren't wank-tastic, and so MACs at a very low level can still one-shot them". Makes the most sense that way, especially given the sub-kiloton showings in Reach.--[[Special:Contributions/68.6.155.212|68.6.155.212]] 15:54, 2 September 2013 (EDT) | |||
