i have a question about the Halcyon-class cruiser will it be like a normal Halcyon or will it be the special refitted one for the Spartans mission? the book said that the original Halcyons were slow and had only a few (i think six) archer missile bays and one mac cannon. But the Pillar Of Autumn had at least 700 archer missiles and an advanced Mac system that could fire 3 shots in one charge. Will there be only one type of Halcyon or will there also be a refitted version or both?

so a cool glowing 3d model of an awesome new ship is "dropped quallity" hmmm no i would say that they are going along quite nicely

wow despite all thats gone on the work that you have produced is fantastic!!! :) personally i love the new ship and am really excited to see what else you guys can make! ive just started reading the books (again) and am really looking foward to providing any help with halo universe advice and gameplay suggestions. KEEP UP THE AMAIZING WORK!!!!

Another posible idea is to have it as an upgraded crusier or a crusier that can be upgraded. Forexample have it start out as a ship with a few fighter bays and then have it have upgrades that your fleet needs such as larger fighter bays, increased amounts of archer missles, more MAC guns and faster chargers or stronger electro-magnets, and maybe even a small flagship upgrade like improved firesupport and more point defences for small fighters. but make it like modules like the vager carrier can only make one production system so that way it stays ballanced and doesnt become super dreadnaught...just a thought :\

after reading the books it wouldnt make much sence to have an EMP ship in the unsc fleet. If the unsc had that kind of tech wouldnt they have used it in the battle of reach? or Sigma Octanus IV?

unsc tactics have been to fire as much as possible first into the covadent and then to hopefully survive their response, however i dont know how much maneovers will come into play in this mod but the first barrage is one of the most important. Infact long range combat is exactly how most of the battles startout in the books.
The space battle involved the UNSC fleet of 48 ships led by Admiral Stanforth against a smaller but technically stronger Covenant Fleet. The UNSC ships first formed a tight, "checkerboard" formation and fired all their MAC guns at the Covenant fleet. The repair station Cradle then moved in front of the UNSC formation, absorbing all Plasma from the Covenant fleet's first salvo. This allowed the UNSC ships to dedicate all their engine power to recharging the MAC guns and fire a second salvo after the destroyed Cradle moved away. After this salvo, only eight Covenant vessels remained: Cruisers and Destroyers. The UNSC fleet then scattered and proceeded to engage the Covenant fleet from halopedia, battle of Sigma Octanus IV
The unsc even sacraficed Cradle in order to get another concentrated volley off from the fleet, then move in for closer engagements.

As far as that goes it would be more unsc like to outfit this new ship with redicouls amounts of archers and MAC's and use it as a support crusier, or even a short ranged support carrier by outfitting it with large amounts of fighterbays inorder to counter act the covies second line of attack and give the unsc a little more of an edge in outweighed battles.

i think that .fortune has a great idea like in normal hw2 there is a mother ship and a carrier make this the carrier. making it maybe a small flagship would make it ideal to have with the smaller frigate and destroyer battle groups as well as supporting larger engagements as a fighter base. The covies have a similar ship just without fighters so this would be the unsc counter part. all in all go with .fortunes idea its brilliant!!!!

sup guys! voted for 2008 moty hope ya get it! cant wait for the new update and cant wait to see what you guys have been cooking up lately. i also had a question about the Midsummers night and if a ship of that class will make an appearance in the mod.

oh im also learing how to modle 3D objects with this new program that the aussies just came up with so yeah, maybe in a few months i could offer some help, if i can lear fast enough. im spending alot of time on it so hopefuly i might be able to help with some texturing or some modleing!!!! woot.

WOW! i get back from my trip and i find this beauty! the mod looks great! keep up this amaizing work, this is going to be one of the best mods ever!!!

Its one of my fav too, the Prowler and the wolf clad are my fav. How did you get so good at drawing?

thanks man its ok though.

wait are you even part of the team? lol me and my friend have some that look UNSC so i was just wondering if you wanted them.

i think i just crapped my pants.....if it was modeled i would be crying. ringleader is my hero!

lol ok well ill be watching very intently. Ill try to keep up with the forums but i dont know if i can for a while, my friend just got killed by a train so i have to go to the memorial and ya its hard times. but will you guys accept consept art from ousiders?

The shape of the prowler is fine mendez. I suggest you read the ghosts of onyx and you will find that yes they are sleak but made to hide in SPACE. there is a difference between air and our sky and the vacum of space. Not only can you not see anything but you cant use your standard sonar eather. Our tecnologys now would be like a baybes play toy in the halo universe. and not to mention that you can have different types of ships. Like the UNSC medical ship in the ghosts of onyx, its basically two largerships spliced together and then added a garden it looks like a pill thats broken half way. Does that look like the pillar of Autumn?

sweet i love the sketches of the ships, it looks like what the actual ships in halo would look like. how much of the game have you guys completed?

Oh sorry i ment like the Iowa or like the hawking. i know that most of the mamoth class cruisers were destroyed but i saw the link to wiki and i saw a whole list of the active ships in the UNSC fleet. Only a few remaind after halo 3 and i was just wondering if it was only going to be thouse ships and yes the PoA is sexy :)

i see, well the cov ships are 10x stronger than the UNCS which is why they were losing so badly. Will you be able to build alot of ships for the UNSC or just the ones that are in existance or will you be able to make a grand fleet? If you have any questions about the books or anything then just ask me i have read them 250 times! lol

Oh ok i was wondering why i couldn't find it lol! I had a question about the game though... will the cov, ships be extremely overpowered like how they describe it in the books? Or will you put the UNSC and the cov on equal footing? It would be cool to have the cov ships cost so much that you could only make a few at a time but then you would only have about 6 or 7 ships for a while. One of the things that you might want to incorporate into the game is the cov space yards. Basically asteroids just a thought.

ok for the last 2 years i have been waiting for a mod like this. I can safely say i love you. I have been hereing about a beta thats out i was wondering if i could get my hands on it or where it is. I have also voted for you guys for mod of the year so good luck and keep up the great work.
