Talk:Strident-class heavy frigate

2 variants?
I was studying this possibility and decided to post it here: could there be 2 variants of this Frigate?

We know that there are two designs of the ship: the one seen here and here. And the one seen hereand here. The former being seen in Spartan Ops and the latter in the level Midnight and Halo Initiation.

After analyzing these two designs, I concluded that the Stridents seen in the level Midnight and Halo Initiation are an older variant (possibly with no shielding system) that participated in the Human-Covenant War; this is supported by the fact that this design is seen in action during Sarah Palmer's career as an ODST in 2552. Battlegroup Dakota is also seen using this "old" variant, suggesting that the "new" Stridents that appear in Spartan Ops are assigned exclusively to special operations, such as escorting the Infinity, and not to standard battlegroups.

This theory is nothing important to the Halo Universe, but still, it is interesting. Commando Trooper (talk) 20:31, July 17, 2014 (UTC)
