You literally break it down to a science level and its awesome makes me able to immerse my self in halo even more. Pretty sure you could be a master builder lol
@Lurking Carrier No, the CRS was invented by accident due to a glitch. And simply making a ship larger or smaller isn’t remotely so simple as just, well, making it larger or smaller.
The CRS class is a frigate not the battle cruiser class which the CCS is famous for btw my favourite covenant ship is the CCS class followed by yhe CAS or CSO class carriers
The way the hud intro was made, makes me think that I was in a classroom as a spartan and I was watching a classroom lesson. Honestly this would be cool for teaching a spartan if they could just plop on a helmet and have the screen right there.
31:50 ; "But now we understand it; we have confronted our enemy with impervious resolve and we are not afraid. But they should be." I am reminded of the seen in Halo 4: Spartan Ops where the UNSC Infinity directly rams a CCS head on and keeps going as if the CCS was a fly on a windshield.
Actually that was a RCS armored cruiser. The direct predecessor to the CCS it has a similar design but is much older and completely outdated by Covenant standards.
How powerful was the Pillar of Autumn's fusion reactor when it exploded destroying Installation 04 which was made of pure Forerunner metal some of the toughest alloys in fiction and it is a few dozen miles thick. I would assume it would be in the high exatons to low petatons of force to do that.
Halo 4 and 5 had no CCS Battlecruisers, the ships shown in the footage used in the Halo 4 gameplay are the (Much smaller and less armed) RCS Light Cruisers

Am I the only one who's realized that if Covenant ships can fire that many plasma torpedoes at once, all of the space battles in the Nylund novels make no sense at all?
Probably a mix of overconfidence by the covenant commanders as well as underestimating the humans. I could see them thinking it a waste to use all that power against a weak opponent.
I specifically used the word "all," which extends the statement to cover the scenes of the Great Schism in Ghosts of Onyx. And I believe this is the best example of why Warfleet's plasma torpedo values are BS. Let's take Warfleet's stats for the armament of the ORS-Class Heavy Cruiser and weigh them against the documented performance of the ORS Incorruptible in Ghosts of Onyx. In the first scenes involving the Incorruptible, the Sangheili-crewed heavy cruiser struggles against a pair of Covenant-built frigates that are under Jiralhanae control. The frigates stand up to the Incorruptible by maneuvering in such a way that they can take fire alternately, allowing one's shield to recharge while the other takes hits. Logically, this only works if one of the Jiralhanae frigates can survive multiple hits from their opponent. Now let us factor in the Warfleet data, which states that the Varric-Pattern ORS-Class Heavy Cruiser is armed with sixteen plasma torpedo silos. Sixteen plasma torpedoes is enough firepower to kill a Covenant frigate three or four times over, so if the data from Warfleet, a secondary source, is applied, the Incorruptible should have taken that engagement without breaking a sweat. The overconfidence argument is neutralized by the fact that a) they're not fighting humans, and b) the Incorruptible's shipmaster, Voro 'Mantakree, against whom hubris is the last accusation I would make.
@Joseph Joestar Well, they might not understand how to efficiently direct plasma, but they're the ones who designed these ships, so they should know how many weapons their ships have.
@@autumngottlieb3071 If my memory serves me right, doesn't Cortana go into the system of a covenant ship and state that the way they were using their weapons was inefficient? I haven't read any of the halo books in a very long time but that does pop up in my memory.
The whole idea of "slowing down a spaceship by taking out its engines*" is silly, since objects in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by another force. If anything, shooting at the engine from behind with kinetic weaponry would probably increase its velocity marginally from the energy of the projectiles...
@@autumngottlieb3071 that might be true but the original comment doesn't talk about "tactical implications". It talk about how destroying the engine doesn't slow the ship down.
I'm attempting to create a Reach Forge map based around the CCS class (set on Zeta Halo pre Infinite) so this should help for making an accurate build. Thanks for the great video.
Always appreciate the levels of depth and immersion you put into your videos, as a life long fan of science fiction it continues to amaze me the level of detail the halo series has brimming under the surface, especially with its plausible technologies.
I've always assumed the engines were some sort of ion thruster engine, similar to the NASA hall truster. Accept in the covenants case they could utilise the plasma and electrons from the pinch reactor to provide the trust, they would only need to separately provide the electromagnetic field to direct the plasma out of the engines.
(VIDEO IDEA). You know the levels of advancements, like lower is stone age and higher is space travel, what about a most detailed breakdown of where we are in real life versus the halo universe🧐
God I love how every time I need a long video to watch during my workout Installation 00 comes out with something for me thanks for helping me get through leg day tomorrow!!
3 Ideas We don't see Seraphs in the hanger bays, so I think they have essentially launch tubes, where they're fired out like rockets, and land inside at low speed. It also allows to deploy fightercraft in literally all directions, and take them back in for repairs anywhere on the ship instead of them potentially being shot down on rout to the hanger bay The Truth and Reconciliation is a prototype ship, that along with testing the Covenant AI seen in the CE Terminals (That later probably moved to the Ascendant Justice for flood reasons), had a unique layout, and the CCS we see in the Deliver Hope trailer was the stock one, which along with having a large gravity lift bay room, also had a symmetrical design, with the CIC not being offset or directly connected to a hanger bay The sizeup still happens, but the extra space is used for Seraph moorings, stock rooms, and crew quarters
I think the gravity lift is quite easy to explain: The emitter on the bottom of the ship is able to deconstruct and reconstruct material, probably on a sub-atomic level. The multiple gravity lift platforms inside do the same. By switching priority between them, the ship is able to continuously move personnel and equipment while one is being loaded, increasing the overall efficiency. When used as a weapon, a large amount of plasma material is being released the same way, which is then discharged, using the gravity lift to focus and slow it down, to maximize the damage.
How come does it seem that UNSC reactors are more powerful then the actual weapons like the Orbital Mac Guns? You can see them destroy Forerunner super structures and even Cortana in Halo 2 claimed that the UNSC frigate can destroy both High Charity and the ring at the same time. I wonder why she didn't detonate it when the Flood took over the place that would of destroyed the Gravemind and the ships inside it after Master Chief left on the Keyship.
I think the flood may have deactivated the reactor. Another thing is if the reactors from one of the smallest UNSC ship class were powerful enough to take out High Charity, why didn’t they just rig a few slipspace bombs to take out the covenant fleets?
That was the plan, Gravemind “convinced” her not too.. (probably by using a early form of the logic plague) Think of a Reactor as a Super Nuke, even a small reactor produces & can release huge amounts of energy.. Also need to remember that High Charity has its own larger Reactors that would of went critical upon the detonation of the Amber Clad’s.. Also MACs only need reactor power to charge the electromagnetic coils in its “barrel” so they use only a relatively small amount of power (based on size of MAC & reactor itself)
While it certainly seems a bit ridiculous but there is a way that works. Though I don't think it would be powerful enough to take out a halo and high charity. The reactor is saturated with fuel as well as it's fuel lines. Moving all of the fuel as close to the reactor as possible. When the reactor explodes it triggers a far more massive explosion as large amounts of its fuel supply undergoes fusion. I still doubt this would be enough to take out both High charity and a halo at the same time, unless for some reason high charity happens to be within a couple hundred kilometers of the ring. Given that there was a flood infestation on the ring they likely would have been atleast a few thousand kilometers away to allow for flood infected ships to be intercepted. It could certainly take a large enough chunk out a halo or high charity to cripple or destroy it. As for why they never used it in battle, I would assume just as with the Pillar of Autumn it would take several minutes for the reactor to build up to critical, and the covenant are certainly not going allow that to happen near their fleet. Without build up time the reactor won't be able to cause large amounts of its fuel to go fusion, so at best it might only take out a few ships near it. Now with pinpoint slipspace jumps that would be a valid tactic as you could exit slipspace near enemy ships with a meager 10 seconds or so left.
the frigate was already inside high charity its not like detonating its reactors would do anything outside of it. Same with the pillar of autumn and the halo ring
@Lurking Carrier Idk, Stormtroopers do well against enemies that don't have plot armor while the Covenant often gets beat in ground combat by the UNSC, Troopers in comparison have better weapons and armor (for this engagement, not in general) Stormtrooper armor has really good protection against plasma weaponry unlike the UNSC and they use plasma guns too that would make short work of Elite's shields.
@@MaxwellAerialPhotography If you look at some feats, ISD turbolasers may not reach high gigatons but they definetively have high megatons to low gigatons with medium kilotons being the average. For example in the Darth Vader comic an ISD was destroying buildings that were at the bottom of the ocean from space.
Everything about this is great and is exactly what I wanted from your channel but just one thing I think you could’ve done is have a few more real life object size comparisons to the ccs
I'd love to see moce videos like this, about the rest ofthe ships, vehicles, stations, etc. in the Covenant armada. Especially the Corvette. I've always loved the design of the Corvette.
Great work, I've found you channel recently and love it. The passion you so clearly have for Halo is wonderful, I too have a enormous emotional connection and to see others share that is beautiful.
I'm certain the repulsor engine is a misnomer, clearly, the engine nozzles produce reaction mass and expel plasma. I believe they are instead more closely related to impulse engines, where advanced gravitics are still utilized, but there are traditional reaction mass rockets involved. This also explains the quantum fluctuations bit, as impulse drives produce dark energy aft of the ship in order to expand space in the rear, whilst the nose of the vessel produces a gravitational field in front of the ship. Practically identical tech to seraph fighters or the impulse engines of star trek. True repulsor engines are what forerunner sentinels and monitors use (even though those are also labeled as impulse engines), as well as numerous forerunner ships that expel no apparent reaction to achieve thrust.
I love your most detailed series, i hope you can at some point cover the CAS class assault carrier and/or the CSO class super carrier at some point. Being one of if not my most favorite ships lore and design wise throughout the series. I also love the concept of the forerunner ship designs when it comes to how they appear in the expanded lore via books. But since they've gotten such a small and watered down presence in the current games im leaving all forerunner vessels out.
One thing I always wondered: on the rare chances that a larger Covenant ship was destroyed... Why didn't the UNSC scavenge the armor plating left of the derelict to use to prop up the armor of their ships? I mean, Covenant nanolaminate is ridiculously tough stuff. And, sure, the amount of destroyed ships that you could recover from wasn't that many, but when you DID get a derelict Covenant ship, considering the size, you also had a ton of potential armor you could use. And it's not like you have to clad the entirety of a ship in the armor to see benefits - just the most crucial areas and weakspots. Better than nothing...
@@ishikaorimura6803 According to Halo: Contact Harvest, it was never used as scavenged/ad-hoc armor. Yes, of course, they collected it and studied it and tried reverse engineering it. You HAVE to in order to know how better to fight the enemy. But I've never seen evidence of them using it as armor.
Nanolaminate It’s supposed to be so complex and every piece is different making almost impossible to reverse engineer he explained it in the Sangheili combat harness video
I'd love to see a mock battle between like.... 1 Covenant Super Carrier vs 1 American Ford-Class aircraft carrier and it's escort fleet. Or 1 Covenant Super Carrier vs all 13 American aircraft carriers and their respective escort fleets. Or 1 Covenant Super Carrier vs the entire United States Navy.
I find it weird how the main battleships in sci-fi also seem to be the main troop transports. Both maintaining massive firepower and large crew facilities. Also it's weird how you rarely see two class's in the same type, akin to a queen elizabeth and king george class operating at similar times.
Awesome video as always Installation00! Though the only thing that bothers me in this video is your interpretation on how repulse drives work. The method you described (gravity well in front which the ship falls into) doesn't really make much sense in a physics point of view. The best analogy I can think of is trying to move a sailing ship with a large fan. The wind is there and the sheets are billowing, but the ship isn't moving. This is due to the fact that the fan is bolted to the deck and thus cancels out any forward momentum; if the fan isn't bolted on, the fan will fly off the deck. What the drive could possibly be is a form of non-FTL Alcubierre drive, causing space to expand in the back and space to compress in the front. Let me know what you think!
I apologise for the occasional cracking and popping appearing in the video. These were not present before uploading. I believe its something to do with TH-cam Compression process. I am trying to sort a work around for future videos as this isn't very professional or enjoyable to listen to. Again, I apologise. Much Love,

@Lurking Carrier
No, the CRS was invented by accident due to a glitch. And simply making a ship larger or smaller isn’t remotely so simple as just, well, making it larger or smaller.
There's also the RCS which is a weaker CCS that's about the same size and looks the same
@@josesanchezrodriguez1783 No the RCS is almost double the size of the CCS. CCS is 1700m long (I think he said), RCS is 3000m long

Everything about this is great and is exactly what I wanted from your channel but just one thing I think you could’ve done is have a few more real life object size comparisons to the ccs
Not how i imagined spending the first thirty minutes of my day but here i am
I love exploring Covanant tech.
Love all of your stuff, but the most detailed breakdowns are where you take things to the next level!
Your the man! Even when you make a mistake we all know you still make the best content in the halo universe!
Was really excited to see this. Great Vid!
the shark fins can also act together with the main nozzles as radiators to prevent excessive heat in the ship
I actually have the Dark Horse model of the CCS class, Truth and Reconciliation. I absolutely love it.
Awesome video! I needed a video like this for my story and this just makes writing it easier
I'd love to see moce videos like this, about the rest ofthe ships, vehicles, stations, etc. in the Covenant armada. Especially the Corvette. I've always loved the design of the Corvette.
Great work, I've found you channel recently and love it. The passion you so clearly have for Halo is wonderful, I too have a enormous emotional connection and to see others share that is beautiful.
Thank you so much for covering this. Been excited
CCS Battlecruiser and CPV Heavy destroyer are my favorite ships in Halo. I just love their designs.
Man, I completely wreaked the interior of the 'Truth and Reconcilation' multiple times! It isn't so tough from the inside 😂
I'm certain the repulsor engine is a misnomer, clearly, the engine nozzles produce reaction mass and expel plasma. I believe they are instead more closely related to impulse engines, where advanced gravitics are still utilized, but there are traditional reaction mass rockets involved. This also explains the quantum fluctuations bit, as impulse drives produce dark energy aft of the ship in order to expand space in the rear, whilst the nose of the vessel produces a gravitational field in front of the ship. Practically identical tech to seraph fighters or the impulse engines of star trek.
True repulsor engines are what forerunner sentinels and monitors use (even though those are also labeled as impulse engines), as well as numerous forerunner ships that expel no apparent reaction to achieve thrust.
Makes sense - perhaps only part of the output is repulsor related?
I've only been curious about Covenant medical Bays cafeterias and The barracks
Imagine the covenant vs the empire in Star Wars. That would be cool.
Should do one of these for the supercarrier
I absolutely love this video is it possible you could do the Covenant assault carrier next?
Hope you mention that there’s a gravity lift that ferries troops and supplies between the ship and the surface.
That’s our ticket in
now i wanna see you give a most detailed breakdown of things like stargate and other sci-fi things
No Views....19 likes lol

CCS-Class are some sexy looking ships, glad to see a breakdown >:D
Now all we need is a most detailed breakdown of The Banished or something like that.
Keep up the great work 👍👍👍
Most Detailed CCS Battle cruiser? Yes Please!
my favorite type of covenant ship
Not a wasted word, infomercial or t-shirt merch promo, just rich content.
Subscribed. This chanel is an absolute jem.
I love your most detailed series, i hope you can at some point cover the CAS class assault carrier and/or the CSO class super carrier at some point. Being one of if not my most favorite ships lore and design wise throughout the series.
I also love the concept of the forerunner ship designs when it comes to how they appear in the expanded lore via books. But since they've gotten such a small and watered down presence in the current games im leaving all forerunner vessels out.
God damn that was good. It would be awesome if we get a description of a CAS assault carrier next!
i just started watching you and these edits are top tier... i thought my pc shutdown lol
Do an energy output of Covenant weapons.
One thing I always wondered: on the rare chances that a larger Covenant ship was destroyed... Why didn't the UNSC scavenge the armor plating left of the derelict to use to prop up the armor of their ships? I mean, Covenant nanolaminate is ridiculously tough stuff. And, sure, the amount of destroyed ships that you could recover from wasn't that many, but when you DID get a derelict Covenant ship, considering the size, you also had a ton of potential armor you could use. And it's not like you have to clad the entirety of a ship in the armor to see benefits - just the most crucial areas and weakspots. Better than nothing...
They did thing is they decided to study it instead of re-enginnering it
@@ishikaorimura6803
According to Halo: Contact Harvest, it was never used as scavenged/ad-hoc armor. Yes, of course, they collected it and studied it and tried reverse engineering it. You HAVE to in order to know how better to fight the enemy. But I've never seen evidence of them using it as armor.
@@matchesburn they never did
Nanolaminate It’s supposed to be so complex and every piece is different making almost impossible to reverse engineer he explained it in the Sangheili combat harness video
Sorry about the terrible grammar I’m half asleep
For a sec I thought my phone broke. Terminal effect was cool
I remember the first time I needed to blinker fluid changed. the pseudo science in this is very entertaining. no, really, I enjoyed listening.
This makes me want to finish Yellow Team again... too bad I keep losing motivation each time I get a half-chapter through...
Because I’m a dumb sucker for huge ships please do the CSO next!
Now I want a comparison video between the Covenant ship tech, humanity ships post war with Forerunner reverse tech, and the Ancient Humanity.
I WAS MOVING MY TV AROUND WHEN THAT INTRO HIT AND I THOUGHT I GOOFED MY SHIT. :(
I'd love to see a mock battle between like.... 1 Covenant Super Carrier vs 1 American Ford-Class aircraft carrier and it's escort fleet.
Or 1 Covenant Super Carrier vs all 13 American aircraft carriers and their respective escort fleets.
Or 1 Covenant Super Carrier vs the entire United States Navy.
Master Chief does not simply board an enemy craft he invades it.
Installation 00 will you do detailed breakdowns of the many different battles that happened both during the insurrection and human covenant war?
I find it weird how the main battleships in sci-fi also seem to be the main troop transports. Both maintaining massive firepower and large crew facilities.
Also it's weird how you rarely see two class's in the same type, akin to a queen elizabeth and king george class operating at similar times.
Awesome video as always Installation00! Though the only thing that bothers me in this video is your interpretation on how repulse drives work. The method you described (gravity well in front which the ship falls into) doesn't really make much sense in a physics point of view. The best analogy I can think of is trying to move a sailing ship with a large fan. The wind is there and the sheets are billowing, but the ship isn't moving. This is due to the fact that the fan is bolted to the deck and thus cancels out any forward momentum; if the fan isn't bolted on, the fan will fly off the deck. What the drive could possibly be is a form of non-FTL Alcubierre drive, causing space to expand in the back and space to compress in the front. Let me know what you think!
While watching i felt my anxiety rising. I then realized that he was playing the flood music in the background.
18:14 ...is Foehammer the only Pilot in UNSC history to land inside a Covenant ship, under fire, take off again and survive?
"You know our motto: We DELIVER!"
Another pilot from her squadron pulled it off in Halo First Strike
