Cortana got 3 cruisers, a carrier, while in slipspace 2 cruisers and a carrier. So its only 1 more ship and whitcomb even said "we have a battle to fight here" in slipspace. And on page 192 it says "however, to recharge the slipspace capacitors and regenerate the plasma she had expended in her(cortana) '''brief fight''' with the covenant cruisers." She only fired when the ships came after her and she was just testing her new firing method for the ships plasma, even then she was backing a way. It wasnt the second battle of reach, a second battle for a planet would be more like the 2nd battle of earth.--'''<font color="black">[[UoH|<font color="black">UNSCOH</font>]] [[Colonel|<font color="black">COL.</font>]]</font> [[User:Ryanngreenday|<font color="black">"Running</font>]]''' '''[[User talk:Ryanngreenday|<font color="black">Riot"</font>]] [[Special:Contributions/Ryanngreenday|<font color="black">Ryan</font>]]''' [[Image:Sm Sniper Rifle.gif]] ''[[User:Ryanngreenday#If_you.27ve_played_xbl_with_me|<font color="white">'''BAM'''</font>]]'' 22:30, 2 July 2007 (UTC) 14:40, 15 July 2007 (UTC) | Cortana got 3 cruisers, a carrier, while in slipspace 2 cruisers and a carrier.

:Alright, let's look at something else here. First Battle of Earth. 15 warships from the Covenant forces drop out of Slipspace over Earth looking to excavate some information. They find....well.....Earth and the UNSC's war machine. The resulting battle is just the Prophet of Regret trying to get to the surface and the two sides battling in New Mombassa before the Prophet of Regret bugs out (along with In Amber Clad). It wasn't a battle for control of the planet, it was a battle that just happened. It doesn't have to be the scale of the Second Battle of Earth or even just a Battle for control of a planet to make it a battle. | :Alright, let's look at something else here.

:Anyways, the events of the battle spent more time on or around Reach than it did in Slipspace. Add on that beside the 1 extra kill in space, you also have the docking of the Gettysburg to Ascendant Justice AND you have the fight in the Forerunner structure. There was considerably more fighting on or around Reach. Though I should note that I hadn't even planned to mark the fight in Slipspace as part of the Second Battle of Reach. I could, I just wasn't planning to since it didn't really happen over Reach. | |||
:Finally, this all doesn't even matter because you STILL need to suggest a better name for the Battle that we could file the page under.--[[User:Forgottenlord|Forgottenlord]] 15:46, 15 July 2007 (UTC) | |||
