Our representation of Halo's iconic space combat in the Homeworld 2 engine, which puts the player in command of some of the most powerful weapons fielded by the UNSC and Covenant and to provide a balanced and competitive experience.
Test flight of newly refurbished corvettes in orbit of Mars, near Phobos.
These are the reskinned corvettes I just finished for release. Except for the Prowler, which was graciously donated by the Sins of the Prophet team. Model by A_lleras and texture by Keksz.
For release, all I have left to do is convert the rest of the icons (stations and weapons) to the holographic white scheme and then touch up on the Gantry and Scaffold structures. I would like to go ahead and re-textured the Orthrus and Hermes, but I think that would take too long. Longer than 5 days, anyways. Regardless, I hope everyone has fun on Halloween!
I just now remembered this. Am I the only person who found the AA fire from these things deafening to be zoomed into and tending to cut in and out? Hoping they'll be more anti-munition now and less anti-fighter when the missiles come in.
Would anti-munitions even matter against the Covenant? Everything is plasma...
Sadly, weapons will always target ships over munitions first. However, the smaller turrets are strictly anti-missile.
They could possibly disrupt plasma torpedos and fuel rod shots :P
So the point-defense and cwis are strictly Anti-Missile? Or is it only the point defense.
The small turret is a point defense CIWS that is used to shoot down missiles. The bigger AA gun is both anti-fighter and anti-missile. However, if there is a fighter around, the big one will always target fighters over missiles. Just a game limitation.
Nice, new, shiny Hammerhead.
BTW, is this texture easier on computers?
This entire mod isn't easy on computers. The amount of fire streaming from a single Parris was enough to put my old PC into the workshop for a day.
Weapons have been tuned down with upped damage to compensate. Also, with my new textures and optimization of the base mesh, the game already runs a lot smoother.
