Talk:E-456 Xiphos

NCF
Why?

Too over powered. No way in hell something like that could have sensors more powerful than those on warships, since a PROWLER can detect nuclear activity from the CORE of a planet.

Also --

The UNSC doesn't need an AWACS aircraft, since Starships can perform that same duty, and by 2600, I'm pretty sure that the star fighters, coupled with AIs and whatever electronics equipment are aboard can handle the same duties without a star ship. Also, since ships are never deployed alone (save Prowlers), your excuse of "THEY CAN'T DEPEND ON STARSHIP SUPPORT" is moot. Even if they were on the planet alone, they would have the systems capable of doing the same exact thing. -- Sergeant Major Avery Johnson  19:00, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
