Literally everything that uses ME tech completely obliterates our understanding of physics. For halo, everything they do except the most basic of guns does that.

If there is reliable FTL, which would be needed for any interstellar war to make sense, all of our assumptions get thrown out.

And if we look at the thread name... They'd be so much more advanced than us that looking at our tech for context is like looking at the 4th god damn century for context on our modern tech.

I don't think we'd ever go back to using copper and rocks...

In totality, yes, but the individual repairs wouldn't take much time. They'd start with the mission critical areas and work outwards.

Sure, but that trips the breakers and blows up some transformers and... then does nothing. You might be out of power for like, 3 days max? Your car will still work, your phone will still work. Tractors and trucks will still work.

Literally a metal box will stop an EMP. That's all that it would take. Fuck, houses would also stop them.

Both of those would work. EMPs ain't hard to stop.

So we don't even have spaceships capable of orbital bombardment and instead space stations and moon instalations. Which massively changes the game and... makes them a lot easier to take out.

Why the fuck are you acting like they'd bother invading current earth like this when there are cheaper and faster ways to take over a planet of our tech level?

Reminder that the biggest issue of taking out missiles is that you don't know where they're coming from or where they're going. Neither of these is an issue if you're shooting at orbiting spaceships.

It's very easy to EMP harden tings, just encase them in metal and bury power lines.

true, but if the enemy still has AA up then your ground forces fucked up. You can't be sure teleporters or orbital bombardment will work.

Or even just a decent amount of orbit to atmosphere fighter/bomber craft.

Sure, but the thread is about the role of ground forces period, as in asking why they're useful at all. Being able to get them somewhere fast doesn't make them useful. When they do when there does.

My question being: how is any of this even relevant to the thread?

To add to this: ground to orbit weapons don't have a yield limit. While orbit to ground weapons would have a yeild limit simply because you don't want to glass the planet(and if you do want to glass it just tow a fucking space rock into it, much cheaper and would take a lot less time while being...
