Incoherence HW/HW2 with Spirit of Fire

Hi everybody !

Do you remember in Halo Wars that the Spirit of Fire had collided with a Covenant ship? A low-edge part was completely depressed with Heron ships modules.
We see it here in these screens:

First impact

Overview

On video

Here in the credits of Halo Wars, we can see the Spirit of Fire partially repaired:

Partly repaired

Outside, in the trailers of Halo Wars 2, the Spirit of Fire is completely intact. You can even see on board that Heron modules are present!?!

First screen

Second screen

I can understand that the ship contains repair parts for the hull. But on the other hand, where do the Herons modules come from?

-The Spirit of Fire stopped during his 28-year journey?
I do not believe it

-Developers have accidentally forgotten this detail?
Surprising?

The debate is open :

Honestly most likely a slip up by the dev’s its not the first time this has happen:

Halo 4: the frigate completely changes and you are using modernised BR’s and AR’s.

In Halo 5 theirs one slip up that I recall involving the AR in the cut seen that starts the first mission.

Didn’t notice it myself and I have played halo wars 1. But this is the most likely expiation I think.

And sorry for my horrible grammar and spelling.

I guess we will see what they explain when the game launches.
they have not revealed much but are alluding to explaining everything once we play the game

in the first cutscene you hear serena say she repaired the ship

I’m not 100% on what a heron module is, but I’d imagine they could be replicated and replaced by the ship’s fabrication devices over the 28 years adrift. Same fabrication units that are used to produce and replace equipment, including the Kodiaks (the plans of which are old enough to be compatible with the fabrication systems, but were obtained from UNSC forces on the Ark.

Here is a picture of the Herons that stand out from the Spirit of Fire :

Herons

It’s a very big transport ship for be reconstructed

If i recall correctly, in Halo Wars only the left side of the Spirit of Fire collided with the covenant craft.

In the screens you provided, that is showing the right side of the ship, so therefore we aren’t seeing the left side of the ship and we don’t know how much it has been repaired.

Yes, but looking good, we distinguish the left side

Nanobots that upgraded chiefs gear. xD

Sure. :smiley: If you can’t find anything that would normally explain the changes, just say that the magical nanobots caused them.
Looking forward more Crysis thing in the next Halos.

Space Magic. 'Nuff said.

Nanobots fueled by Space Magic™?

Wait? they are still on the ship and we are not using them as bases anymore? Also, seeing as we had an unlimited supply throughout the campaign, I really don’t see a reason to explain why there are now new ones, they just are.

3-D printing has come a long way?

I do not think it’s possible, it would no longer be a combat ship at that time.

Think the entire heron thing is messed up considering we don’t even use the in the game anymore, being replaced by pelicans. This goes to show gameplay wise the devs took this into account but there must have been a slip with BLUR studious. But you can always use the fact that serinas log says she repaired the ship and made adjustments while everyone was asleep. Which i still doesn’t really solve anything as i a certain you’d need human hands or complex machinery to produce those herons which, highly likely, are not available.

Serena says in the first mission that she was repairing the ship while they were asleep so that explains it

,I thought Serena was dead? Can we, you know, not post spoilers?

the spirit of fire had 28 years is plenty of time to fix the whole ship with a skeleton crew or automatic bots. half of the crew might be in retirement … due to being up for 28 years working on the ship.
