The flood's space combat consists of them stealing any form of space craft and crashing it into the enemy ship in order to infect it. In the case of the Geth however they would most likely crash and proceed to destroy the ship from the inside somehow. Not the most brilliant strategy, but nonetheless it's effective.CountFenring said:Geth. They can build space ships. They can Orbitally bombard planets with out getting their hands dirty. From what I've seen, the Flood have next to no ship-to-ship combat skills, and thus would lose.
Remember the big space battle in Mass Effect at the End? I'm assuming it's something like that. The Geth could just start opening up at the Flood armada, the Flood, attempting to get the highest obtainable speed, would not attempt to change course. Now in the Mass Effect space battle thing, the Alliance and the Geth/Reapers both had a class of ships called Dreadnoughts (if I remember correctly). These ships were huge battle ships that were almost completely one or more guns, spanning the entire length of the ship. Once these opened up on the Flood, their ships would start getting ripped in half. Now I'm not big on the Halo backstory, but I don't think the Flood can survive in Space, and as they (again, to my knowledge) don't know how to fully operate a ship, would die for lack of Oxygen.Omega 2521 said:The flood's space combat consists of them stealing any form of space craft and crashing it into the enemy ship in order to infect it.

Well the flood have these spores which survive in space and pretty much only one of them can start an entire flood colony. and i think the flood can quite easily use space ships. the example is the covenant city/high charity which they controlled and sent towards the Ark.CountFenring said:Remember the big space battle in Mass Effect at the End?

If a Geth ship was rammed, the ship would indeed be damaged, but the Geth, not needing air to survive or operate, would, for the most part, be fine and most likely be able to repulse the Flood from their damaged ship.
Sorry if any of that sounded mean, I don't mean it to.
