:The name comes from when a ship carried its fleet's commanding officer, it would run up a flag signifying that. So technically, a flagship could be any ship that has its Fleet Master/Admiral aboard it. And given their rank and status, they'd favour carriers, cruisers, etc over smaller ships.

No offence, but as it says in many articles, a flagship can be any type of ship that heads the fleet, usually the larger, more powerful ones though. An assault carrier is closer to 5400 meters than 3000 meters. Also, as previously mentioned, the Ascendant Justice could have been a carrier. They may both be similar in appearance, but either way, it was powerful enough to be used as a flagship.

:Problem is, the proposed image is from ''Halo 2''. Later games have introduced significant updates to the Assault Carrier design, such as a second pair of "wings" near the back. Note also that ''ODST'', which takes place during ''Halo 2'', also uses the updated Assault Carrier design. Personally, I like the current image. It gives a better sense of the ship's scale when it's placed against a background with other ships, and sometimes white background renders are a little hard on the eyes, since the image may not stand out against the white very well.

And technically speaking, or should I say graphically speaking, the image I proposed looks no different from this image. And besides, I don't recall ''Halo 2'' having Assault Carriers in any prominent scene, except maybe save for ''Solemn Penance'', the Prophet of Regret's Assault Carrier flagship in New Mombasa. And then again there is ''Halo 3: ODST'', which has better graphics than ''Halo 2''. But in any case, if you think you can provide a better screenshot to be edited in Photoshop, then be my guest. I have no quarrel with you, or with anyone on Halopedia for that matter. Which of course goes without necessarily saying, or maybe it is. Regardless, my invitation stands. And if you and maybe a few others disagree, then the article shall stay the way it is. As I said, I was merely making a proposal, I wanted feedback, and I received feedback. Mission accomplished.

I've made the necessary adjustments to this page and relocated the Essential Visual Guide reference to the "Song of Retribution" page. Technically this page does not deny that the CAS is superior to the Infinity post 2553, though neither does it confirm it. | |||
Qura 'Morhek, thanks for your response.
