*Like all UNSC ships, it is not stated how they achieve lift in a planet's gravitational field. In [[Halo: The Flood]], the [[Pillar of Autumn]] wasn't designed to enter a planet's atmosphere, due to lack of vertical thrust necessary to keep it in the air. No evidence of lift systems can be seen on "Spirit of Fire", or indeed several of the frigates and destroyers seen in some of the Halo games e.g. "In Amber Clad". | *Like all UNSC ships, it is not stated how they achieve lift in a planet's gravitational field.

*In addition to the normal UNSC ship armament, the Spirit of Fire also sports "heavy deck guns", weapon systems not discussed in any of the Halo novels. From appearance, they are heavy duty artillery platforms designed for fleet engagements, or possibly for destroying approaching dropships and Seraph class fighters, as demonstrated in game. They may however, be a relic of earlier UNSC technology, that was unused on other fleet vessels. In addition, the Spirit Of Fires hull has base [[Base Turret]] build sites which you can use to repel any unwanted guests. These are possibly oversized point-defense guns, which are used to protect UNSC vessels from single-ships such as the [[Seraph]]. this is especially likely given the massive size of the ''Spirit of Fire'', even for a capital ship, so standard point defense guns may occasionally need additional firepower. | *In addition to the normal UNSC ship armament, the Spirit of Fire also sports "heavy deck guns", weapon systems not discussed in any of the Halo novels.
