Most powerful Warship in the Halo Universe?
What do you tink is the most powerful warship from the entire Halo universe be it UNSC, Covenant, Forerunner, Precursor etc.
I think its either a [url=http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Covenant_Assault_Carrier]Covenant Assault Carrier[/url] or [url=http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Dreadnaught]Forerunner Dreadnought[/url](which was impervious to any attacks by UNSC or Covenant ships).
-
I think the Dreadnought and Sublime Transcendence (Covenant Supercarrier) would be on par. If the dreadnought's weapons were fully unlocked then I reckon that would then win.

And they can combine firepower like Onyx sentinels I'm sure they are stronger then keyships as the forerunners used them in battle more then keyships But that's all speculation [/quote] I am sure that is their most common ship, the keyship on the other hand was "special" just like the contender class AI's. They also had the power to cause a sun to collapse.
-
The Forerunner Dreadnaught used to be the most powerful, until all of its weapons were stripped off.
-
definitely the forerunner dreadnought even with all known weapons being stripped off of it.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Snake Archer I think it would be the Forerunner Dreadnought. It withstood 3 MAC blasts as well as a Longsword bombing run. No UNSC ship or Covenant carrier would've survived that. However, I don't know if there's any evidence that suggests the Dreadnought was a warship, my understanding was that it was a 'keyship' that allowed the portals to activate.[/quote]This^ The keyship is a transport guys. If their transports had that insane armor and firepower, imagine what one of the dreadnoughts has *jizz in my pants*

The UNSC's pillar of Autumn is the UNSC's best (in my opinion)in a stand up fight. It's hull and armour made it very strong. It's experimental fusion reactors made it very fast. Plus its modiefield MAC cannon that could fire 3 MACs at once. The Covanants Forerunner Dreadnought was there best (that we know of) in a stand up fight. It's a forerunner warship, maybe even a flagship, so its gonna own the pillar of Autumn. And any other Covy ship. The forerunners probably had more powerful ships than the dreadnought since they abanded it on the Prophets planet (so there will probably be newer forerunner warships). There has been very little mention of Precursor ships.
-
What about the Forerunner battle ships seen in [i]Halo Wars[/i] and [i]Origins[/i]? They had the ability to combine their firepower together to multiply the destructive force. I'm pretty sure they would be the most powerful. The Keyships (Dreadnought) are also a likely possibility. [Edited on 08.06.2010 7:45 AM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SC Matt Klassen probably some Forerunner ship w/Precursor tech on board, the Forerunners upgraded the Precursor tech...[/quote] No they didn't: they couldn't travel intergalactcaly, but Precursors could; they merely based their tech off of them. But it is def. something to do with Precursors ships. Out of all known ships, the dreadnought probably.
-
uhm, how about the rings? I'm pretty certain those beat everything. Except Tanks. Everyone knows that Tank beats Everything.

I'd say it would be a tie between a Forerunner Dreadnought and a Forerunner Keyship. Both of their abilites are beyond anything the UNSC or Covenant can fathom, so I'd have to say the assault carrier was not a good choice as an opponent for the dreadnaught.

to briefly remain off-topic: in the prophet-elite war, it was started by the prophets dissecting forerunner tech and incorporating into their own. the elites declared this heresy and thus declared war with their elite-only tech, which was obviously far inferior to the prophets and their forerunner tech one elite is worth 10 prophets in a standard infantry engagement, and also had a better trained and numerically superior fleet. the one saving grace for the prophets was the dreadnought which was seemingly invincible and launched hit-and-run strikes on elite fleets, obliterating them. the prophets moved away from ground engagements, relying solely on being able to eliminate the elite fleets, and then force their surrender. however, the prophets also lost many of their own normal ships in these attacks. eventually, the elites had to swallow their pride and dissect their own relics to use their technology. with this, they were able to fight back and fight the prophets fleet, even their mighty dreadnought, to a standstill. both side realised their impending extinction (and also that the cause for the war was no pointless) and signed the Writ of Union, which called for the decommissioning of the Dreadnought (stripping of all its known weapons), and for the elites to be the military arm of the covenant, and the prophets to be the religious and technological leaders. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] xRedFangKnightx [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Henry the Elite [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] xRedFangKnightx Probably the Forerunner Dreadnought. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Henry the Elite The dreadnougt won the Prophet-Elite war for the prophets, which is why they are the "leadership" class to begin with.[/quote] From what I can remember "the Elite-Prophet War" ended in an agreement because both sides were at a stalemate. If anything, you could say that the Elites won because the Prophets were slowly becoming extinct, although you could also argue that the Prophets won because they became leadership for the Covenant.[/quote] No that I recall, it was a pretty close stalemate. The Elites were better infantrymen, but the prophets had a far superior fleet with the dreadnought.[/quote] The Prophets and Elites were pretty much the same when it came to tech' (apart form, of course, the Forerunner Dreadnought). I think that at first the Prophets were just the "scientists" so to speak, and were there to decypher, decrypt and (manufacture?) Forerunner artifacts (where most of the "present day" Covenant tech' comes from). It was only later (after manipulating the Covenant and Elites) did the Prophets find their seat of power. But we're getting away from the point of the thread.[/quote]

google dreadnought - the most powerful warships ever built, used almost exclusively in WWI. anyway, since during the human-covenant war the dreadnought had no weapons (that the covenant was still aware of), the most POWERFUL warship in terms of military might would have to be the Covenant Assault Carrier. lol jk, it'll be the Supercruiser (the one with the laser beams during Battle of Reach that 'snipered' the UNSC) or the Covenant Destroyer. Or, as [u]I[/u] would like to think of it, the [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=44371757&viewreplies=true&postRepeater1-p=1]UNSC HYPERCARRIER!![/url] lol jk again, dont bother bumping it, its had its day... twice. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] mneo Post-forerruner, the covy Assault Carrier. I don't think there's anything more powerful than that. Wait, is the Dreadnought a warship?[/quote]it nearly did destroy the autumn - remember when it actually hit and detonated the missiles in EVERY one of the 300 hidden pods on the portside? there were anything up to 1200 missiles in those pods, but it actually contradicts an earlier part of the book, since one Archer can 'cripple all but the heaviest UNSC ships' what is 1200 exploding INSIDE the hull going to do? apparently, not all that much.[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] StealthSlasher2 That thing was destroyed by an unidentified Covenant ship at Reach in one hit like it was nothing... I'd say that unidentified ship is the most powerful class if the Covenant had more of them post Halo 3. Though the one at Reach was destroyed by the Autumn I severely doubt any lesser Captain would be able to command it as effectively as Keyes did. I'm willing to bet the unidentified ship's main weapon would easily destroy a modified vessel such as the Autumn with just as much ease as the Trafalgar if given the chance.[/quote] [Edited on 08.06.2010 2:01 AM PDT]
