    I am very excited for more, but i still worry.

    I have some questions.

    Will Spartans be nerfed? Given how powerful they are, with their Mjlonir boosting even that, they would make ground engagements trivial against everything in Mass Effect. I prefer there being no nerfs, because then you could have them jump to other settings eventually (like Star Wars Legends, Marvel, DC, Cyberpunk, ect).

    Second question, will you be nerfing UNSC space ships? Considering they were build to combat stolen UNSC/CMA ships, their MAC cannons are superior In damage dealt to mass effect ships, with Mass Effect explicitly stating even the Reapers do damage in kilotons, whilst Halo ships go low megatones on the low end, not even counting their space nukes. I would again argue against nerfing Halo stuff, as while it might be the most powerful ship in the setting, it is still one ship. Making them incapable of being everywhere at once. This makes it so while they are invaluable, they will not be able to protect everyone at the same time by themselves, thus the locals get involved. This also makes it easier to set up a sequel in a different setting(like Star Wars Legends/EU) Requiring less bs for them to worry about until they get their ship upgraded.

    Second to last question is if you are finished with the story, because you have it set to 1/1 chapters.
    Last question is if you will crosspost onto a website like Questionable Questing for people to be able to discuss the story with each other and you easier.

    Link to thread that has sources for Halo feats which is what I use when I don't want to dig theough books or Halopedia.org.
    Feats with direct sources including things like Spartans being able to dodge Mach 10 projectiles, shield strength, ect.

      Honestly I agree with a lot of this and if you want to Cross post somewhere else space battles would welcome him

      But you may have the healed over the max wrong considering on the low end a light mac which is what the spirit of fire carries she has three of them fire is a 600 ton shell at about approximately 2% the speed of light if it's a lighter shell it's going faster that hits with 2.6 gigatons heavy Max are five and a bit gigatons getting remember exactly how much it's been a while and super Max hit with 52 gigatons of force but the last two are not important because there's no ships armed with them currently

      Also well UNSC armor is not that good against plasma or energy weapons of the type the Covenant users they are incredibly good at stopping kinetics because that's what they were designed for meaning not only can the spirit of fire dish out a lot of damage it can take a hell of a lot of damage in return so I'm really looking forward to the first poor bastard that thanks picking a fight with her is a good idea

      Just so you know, fuck no, I ain't nerfin' the Spartans. And also will not be nerfing the UNSC ship but I'm also gonna be realistic, looking at youtube videos and other forums to compare ships from Halo to Mass Effect.

      Also, not finished with this story, I weirdly can't change its status even after trying a few times. I'm just gonna have to do it after the second chapter

        I am very happy with this news. Again I recommend the thread I posted. Earlier and will post it again if asked. It has accurate information compared to spaceBattles who like to nerf Halo, iirc the mods there i was told (and suspect it true) they delete sources and citations that contradict what certain people post(or have in the past). They also have people who just like to shit on Halo posting supposed "facts" there on saying something isn't realistic even though it's at least 500 years in the future and a different setting.

        Really for more realistic additions I would look at ammo types, take inspiration fro. Tank shells for the ammo like we do irl (https://youtu.be/90ECrL_4GPc?si=u4k5hkjo_23yFIuq) shows us using tank inspired ammo with CBJ barrel, punching through an Armored Personal Carrier's armor with a pistol (you see it happen in the video) scale that up for riffle and such because the UNSC can mass manufacture stuff like this easily, and that can be considered "more realistic"

        For warfare in general look at the conflicts in Ukraine and what resulted from that. Perun is a youtuber in the defense industry from Australia, he has a finger on the pulse of conflicts going on currently, he has been to NATO war gaming and other cool events and shares info that could give you ideas.

        Perun on drones in Ukraine, a few years old but still could give ideas.
