That's [b][i][u]if[/u][/i][/b] they are limited to planets in the goldilocks zone. This is a super advanced race, I'm certain they have technology that allows them to colonize less habitable worlds.
Who says they are limited to the surface? The forerunners, not humans, have hundreds upon hundreds of planets like coruscant [b][i][u]that they artificially created[/u][/i][/b]
I'm saying calculate how much mass could the rest of the 99.999% of the energy destroy. That's the true potential of the halos.

Edited by DarthBrando: 9/6/2015 5:16:57 PMThe range of the halo array is actually much larger than the galaxy itself is; (Further backs up the line of thought THEY KNEW AND DESIGNED the weapons to blanket the galaxy KNOWING 99%+ of the burst wave would MISS) Milky way galaxy area = 4.98759x10^10 LIGHT YEARS Halo Network array blast area coverage= 9.117???x10^16 LIGHT YEARS (I forget exact on blast but i posted it on one of my replies IN THIS topic) So NO i will NOT calculate 100% of blast area= targets because the blast radius IS LARGER THAN THE GALAXY BY 2x AND SIX FULL MORE PLACE VALUES IN LIGHT YEARS! (There is no possible way EVER for the entire blast area TO BE FILLED CELL TO CELL WITH BIOMASS as that would be ONE MASSIVE LIFE FORM LARGER THAN THE [b][i][u]ENTIRE GALAXY[/u][/i][/b]) As far as ALL SPECIES 6.39x10^20 METRIC TONS IS MORE THAN ENOUGH MASS TO ACCOUNT FOR ALL GALACTIC LIFE (Actual biomass of just EARTH is less than 1 TRILLION metric TONS 639,000,000,000,000,000,000 ---> the mass used 1,000,000,000,000---> just earth (not even))

E=mc^2: The MORE MATTER YOU DESTROY: The more energy you use! Just because one weapon covers more area DOES NOT make it more powerful. Halo network IS DESIGNED to destroy LESS MATTER so it IS LESS POWERFUL

Also. As I bet other people have already said, who is going to cree the death star if the halos has fired? Last time I checked, the death star's staff mostly consisted of organic beings. [spoiler]check m8[/spoiler]

The crew is 1/3 droids almost: Also THERE IS NO PROOF halo energy would penetrate the shields let ALONE the station

But didn't we prove that most of the energy was wasted? By that logic, you say that the wasted energy isn't capable of destruction? I'm trying to give you this idea, in terms of total power exerted, the halos are more powerful, but [i]might [/i] be less destruction mass wise (you only calculate for a single species, there are hundreds of thousands on earth alone . since you fail to calculate, or estimate for animals/nature, your conclusion is far smaller then what it should be.) [spoiler][b][i][u]that's what I'm trying to say [/u][/i][/b][/spoiler] But in terms of power, imagine if the forerunners designed a weapon based for maximum destruction on the power scale of the halos. They even have a ship class called "planet-breakers" although much isn't said about this class of ship, it's safe to assume they have that name for a reason. And unlike star wars, the forerunners can mass produce these ships with planetary destructive capabilities.

Edited by DarthBrando: 9/6/2015 5:52:44 PMSince we dont know the energy they used; and 99%+ IS DESIGNED to miss and the blast area is 2,000,000x LARGER than the galaxy (they are designed to overlap to work and might not if they dont) that being said THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW what the limit of targets the halo network can destroy; IF you had ENOUGH BIOMASS to absorb the energy, then there COULD STILL BE BIOMASS THAT SURVIVES! (Armor piercing rounds go through ARMOR not BUNKERS) Also my calculations WERE NOT to gauge the energy the weapon used; but to gauge the amount of MASS DISPLACED/DISTROYED by the reactions the weapons PRODUCE when hitting their targets! (In other words measure their effective& average destructive capability/capacity by measuring what they ARE DESIGNED to destroy)
