[i]First off, calm down with the all-caps thing. I understand the point you're making. Second, I'm not going to argue numbers with you, because the numbers don't matter. Results > Numbers The fact is that the Halo Array is a vastly more advanced and powerful weapon system than either of the Death Stars. A Death Star kills a planet. Big deal. Halos kill all complex lifeforms in the galaxy. The Death Stars are little more than giant metal paperweights floating through space if there's no one alive to operate and maintain them. Which brings me to my next point. Each Halo Installation is entirely self-sufficient and self-repairing. They've been around for more than 100,000 years, and they're still just as effective as the day they were completed. How well do you think the Death Stars would fair through 100,000 years with no operation or maintenance?[/i]
