I don't think that would really be a problem, the fighters would be latched and locked onto a hard point. i'm not talking about long and flimsy umbilicals, just holes/latches in the hull, it wouldn't be any different than '''bolting''' an antena or even plating for the ship, they would technically be part of the ship, until they were unlocked. the only reason techs disappear is because they're unatached to the ship, for the fighter to disappear they'd have to take the ship's armour with them. and it's not like the ships are undergoing extreme forces, slipspace travel doesnt involve thrust, the ship travels at the speed it was going prior to entering slispace --[[User:Maccabeuse|Maccabeuse]] 2:28, 31 January 2012 | I don't think that would really be a problem, the fighters would be latched and locked onto a hard point. i'm not talking about long and flimsy umbilicals, just holes/latches in the hull, it wouldn't be any different than '''bolting''' an antena or even plating for the ship, they would technically be part of the ship, until they were unlocked. the only reason techs disappear is because they're unatached to the ship, for the fighter to disappear they'd have to take the ship's armour with them. and it's not like the ships are undergoing extreme forces, slipspace travel doesnt involve thrust, the ship travels at the speed it was going prior to entering slispace --[[User:Maccabeuse|Maccabeuse]] 2:28, 31 January 2012 | ||
:Do we have a source for the thrust bit? Of course, your argument is that how a UNSC ship can travel, say, a lightyear in an hour relates to how compressed slipspace is. The only thrust-related source I can find, however, is from Contact Harvest's opening chapter, where it disambiguates the slipspace drive from the thrusters (it seemed to suggest that how fast you travelled would depend on how fast you were going ''in'' slipspace). A hole in your argument is in ''Halo 2'', where Regret's carrier goes very slowly into a slipspace rupture, and yet still travels at tremendous speed.-- '''[[User:Forerunner|<font color="blue">Fore</font>]]''[[User talk:Forerunner|<font color="green">run</font>]]''[[Special:Contributions/Forerunner|<font color="red">ner</font>]]''''' 18:19, 31 January 2012 (EST) | |||
