I watched it twice the last few days. Half way through the Flood captures Burgundy and take her to the engine room to throw her into what looked like a Proto Gravemind. If the Flood wanted to learn to pilot a pelican why not just infect on the pel's off ramp and then have her turn around and pilot it to the Red Horse? Why take the long convoluted route. Surely combat form infection is good enough to pilot a vehicle.

That being said whatever happened to that Pelican. It was a good movie but the Flood acted really weird in it. Also no spore infections? Nani?

So I like going big its probably my background as a gamer. I like big settings, big ships, big fights. But I am curious can ships be too big? So in my setting there are two superpowers the Holy Nevarian Imperium (still settling on a title) and the Sushren Union. While by no means are they the only states both star nations are made up of millions of systems.

Ships in my setting tend to be large, miles long, and combat usually takes place between one to two lightsecond distance. While there is no stealth in space nations make use of various forms of E-War and some vessels have retractable radiators and "hot rooms" which allows them store heat temporarily and then release it when the coast is clear.

So I was wondering how big is too big? I figured I needed a certain size because of a ship's primary power system.
