What sort of role would this ship play in the mod?

The ORS serves as the Covenant's colony/siege capital ship, taking that role from the DDS in the public build. The latter has been moved to being a pure capital carrier, and a deadly one at that.

Nice...

Confused a bit for a while.. Thought it's a UNSC ship, cause Covenant ships usually have smooth surface.. =P

BUT after checking, yeah it's a Covenant ship..

so in game is a capital ship or cruiser?

Capital ship; after the CAS, Battleship, and Super Cruiser, it's the Covenant's most powerful vessel in terms of raw firepower.

The alternate SOTP Alternate follows the current artistic style you've implemented in the game already. Longer more sleek curves and such.

Nice, your variation looks really good! Are there still any covenant ship placeholders? I can't wait to see the final models and textures.

BTW are you going to add this one (seen also in halo reach) too?:

The SDV will be in the next release and it serves as the Covenant's siege frigate.

Yea, I'm sure they will add ships that have not been used for millenia. This just in, UNSC navy to reactivate 17th century ships of the line.

I like SOP one better, just looks better as a ship, the cannon one looks kinda like anything with a small body but a large head. Glad you guys took the ship and put a bit of a twist on it, just looks as if it will fit better into the cov fleet better than the other one. Cant wait for the release of this mod! Keep up the amazing work guys.

I like yours far more because it's more sleek and looks much more like a piece of covenant workmanship

Description

When Halo: Fleet Battles was announced and Spartan Games showed their ORS-class Heavy Cruiser we were very vocal that we felt the ship was too derivative (appearing to be made out of other models).

When fans came asking if we would include it in the mod, we said we'd probably correct some of the issues we had with the model if we decided to include the ship. Thanks to Malcontent we'd like to show you some work-in-progress shots of our own version of the ORS-class Heavy Cruiser compared to a basic model of Spartan Game's version.

The overall shape of the ship was left alone, but specific areas that we felt were literally copied from other ships or just odd were adjusted. (Again, this is WIP, not finished, but we'd like to show you what we have in mind.)
