You forgot the diamonds........ Nature.com

The flood: because deep down we all just want to be horribly violated to death by a necrotic alien tentacle.

Ahhhh....Vindication at last. Sadly, I'm going to guess that there is a 0% likelihood of seeing these make into the mod at any point in the future?

Dat pair of thruster pods and transom bulkhead.

The troll is strong in this one, oh yes.

Don't get me me wrong, if this is the model you guys go with, I'll build it (and be very happy!), but honestly, this just doesn't quite work for me from an engineering perspective. As a maintenance/launch facility for combat craft, this station would be required to service as many fighters as possible, as efficiently as possible and to maximize the launch rate in an emergency. As is, this design does not strike me as believably meeting these requirements, and actually looks rather more like a civilian space habitat. Perhaps consider adding more launch bays (1 per squadron?)stacked along the structure as an easy fix, and if you have the time/inclination, give the station a little more girth.

"Knock!Knock! Squid faces!" would have been so much better as a caption......

Downloaded and installed the latest version, and played my first UNSC vs. Covenant game this afternoon, me as UNSC, with 2 UNSC and 2 Covenant AI players, all on their own teams.

7.5 hrs later....."Hey, why is it dark outside?"

Well done guys. Very well done. The final product is going to kickass!

Underwear: Soiled.

Probably a bit early to be asking this, but I was wondering what the plan is for the cruiser line-up in the post-war release, since at that point there shouldn't be any remaining basic Halcyons left, and the Marathons are on their way out as per the Autumn class description.

Out of curiosity, is there any chance of the Orion being scaled up a little bit (say ~10-20%)? That thing is a piece of art, and really ought to stand out a little more from a mass of Marathons.

Aaaaand that would be why one makes sacrificial offerings to the gods--i.e. builds prowlers.

RELEASE THE UNIKRAKEN!

Huh, I had not realized jrspartan had a second username. Good to know.

Another carrier? You're not replacing the Eion/Athena are you?

Eh, the ones on the right may not have been works of modern art, but I would still have used them and considered myself lucky. Not that that I'm suggesting you swap them back in or anything!

Sweet mother of mercy......now THAT is modern art!

Now that there is true modern art. My compliments to your team--you all have outdone yourselves yet again.

Squid porn: Not for the faint of heart

OK, you have my vote

No...just....no.

Don't get me wrong, the Master Chief is an awesome character and all, but let's not get carried away here!

Will it be mobile ala the Orkulus?

As things stand, how do the squadron capacities of the Eion, Athens and Thermopylae compare?

#2/model on the right side

So, out of curiosity, how many different types of ships did you guys see in the UNSC battlegroup in Midnight? It looked to me like there were:

1.) Corvettes, or some other smaller-than-frigate type
2.) Charon class frigates
3.) A new cruiser design (perhaps a redesigned Marathon?)
4.) MAYBE a carrier--angle was a bit odd, so it might have been a cruiser/Charon

I hope noone let Lord_Set out of the dungeon..........

Its a mighty purty space battle--missiles...cannons...things going boom (most of them alien heathen). Sure you don't want to watch it?

Yeah, the devil has a special reservation just waiting for me......

Just because we aren't anticipating midnight tomorrow enough, here's the the full intro for Spartan Ops, complete with space battle.

Youtube.com!

Be warned, there is an oblique spoiler for something that happens in the campaign early in the vid--if you fast-forward to 1:12 you'll be in the clear.

Also, it looks like you guys have canon justification for applying the CCS model to a smaller cruiser-class vessel (assuming its going to be a capital ship)

Soooo..when the day comes that you guys are coding the Infinity, here's an idea for one of the abilities (at the end of the vid)

For spoilerphobes, its a trailer for Spartan Ops, and I didn't notice anything campaign related.
