The Tart-Cart has a slipspace drive now.

I knew Huragok were good with technology but a pelican with a slipspace drive. That's crazy.

If any faction in the universe could build the tech to make a drop ship FTL compatible, I think it would be the Forerunners.[/quote] Completely fair point, but I still think it is an unneeded addition. The Tart-Cart may have a slipspace drive, but it can't really be anything other than a puddle jumper. [/quote] Smaller craft = less energy needed to propel it. The [i]Savannah's[/i] drive fit inside a Pelican in Reach, so it's not like it'd be hard for an Engie to make it smaller. [/quote] Missing the point. Slipspace is characterized by huge amounts of deadly radiation. It's not the DRIVE that creates it, is's Slipspace it's self. Hence why when a UNSC ship leaves it huge amounts of gamma radiation and blown through the spectrum. The only reason that the dropship on in First Strike didn't fry was the few seconds of slipspace they experienced instead of hours, and the few cubic tons of lead they welded inside. Forerunner drive or not, the very essence of slipspace would render a small craft moot, the pilot would be crispy charred after an hour. [/quote] You're missing the point. That's how [i]UNSC[/i] drives work, or rather don't. It's pretty obvious to me that Forerunner drives--or, how they manipulate slipspace to make it safer--have gotten around this problem, since they clearly don't have it.
