With the introduction of shielding tech for the UNSC, will the Covenant be getting a buff or two in overall power to compensate?

UNSC shielding is probably going to be in the extremely late game. So that's more incentive for Covvie players to exterminate with extreme prejudice.

Are we going to see a focus shift to the forerunners soon?
And are you guys planning on creating some sort of massive galaxy map representative of the known halo verse?

I imagine it'll only have use for maintaining your own planet's loyalty as opposed to effecting the other faction.

How prolific will shielding tech be for UNSC?
Will there be competitive options besides shielding for UNSC players who wish to have a more traditional UNSC fleet?
Covenant seem to struggle against massed UNSC nukes. With shielding how will you balance them?
When will culture come back into the mod?
If culture doesn't make it into the mod will planet specialisations be reworked into something more fitting for the mod (ie industrial as one. Fortress as the other?)

Why don't the UNSC use thier MAC's of orbital bombarment or low grade nuculer weapons? They are all vibale tactics for the UNSC and MAC guns would be perfect for taking controle of a planet from orbit.
Could that be one of the Infintys upgrades or ability's?

I want to say because it would be overpowered and it would make the planet uninhabitable. 100s of nukes and whatever metal alloy they use for their MACs would probably cause harm to a planet they will colonize or recover.

Render the planet uncolonisable for a time, maybe then add a teraforming frigate that teraforms worlds, granting buffs on worse planets ie: barren/dead asteroids, and removing the uncolonisable effect sooner? that would be a cool addition to any mod really, though I'm not sure what teraforming the UNSC and Covenant could do in cannon.

The game has limits. There are very limited ways to change a planet. In the base game the only way to make a planet uninhabitable for a time is to fire the TEC super weapon. Sadly some things can't be done like how the mod "TR2:A" Has a galaxy gun that makes a planet permanently uninhabitable but in my opinion making it a dead asteroid would be better, I asked them about this and they said that's not possible because the game is so hardwired.

I understand, I'm saying what if following bombardment it rendered the planet unable to be colonized for a set duration, and using a different ability on a colony/"teraforming" ship you are able to render the planet colonisable again? I think it would add an interesting change to planet bombardment, if the attacking fleet can't colonize for a few minutes, much like how SMACS's can not fire for a few minutes after being built. This way, the defender has a chance to repel the invaiders without needing to bomb them out again.

Like I said. That stuff is not possible. Perhaps in a future game they will unlock more of the game so things like this is possible. But to my knowledge what you want is not possible.

Maybe it can say "Ships lay down precision MAC Strikes on main enemy bases, leaving the bulk of the planet ready for colonization."

1.) Will the Covenant ever get a single useful defense platform, or will it only be the space stations and strike craft platforms?

2.) Is there any major changes to the AI in the upcoming (Eventually coming) patch?

3.) Has there been any updates to the Covenant research tree?

4.) Have the Covenant received any replacements for their temp textures and models yet?

5.) Will there be any new ships added, such as the Strident, and ORS classes?

1. Do you plan frigates and other smaller ships using fighter attack animations, to make battles more dynamic?

2. Are u guys planning anything about new relic system or u're going to stick with a vanilla one?

3. And one last thing, the gemapley mechanic changes are going to be realy big? Or just major to make it feel more like Halo?(only those which are needed or u guys are going to add something from yourselves)

What sorts of abilities do you propose that the Forerunners would have? It seems as though the Forerunners would be overpowered were they allowed to use any canonical abilities, so are you going to create new ones or are you going to scale down existing powers and implement those?
Or, if asking about Forerunners when the UNSC and Covenant aren't yet finished is too far-fetched, then would you be able to give us a timeframe of when the Forerunners may be coming into play, and I would be able to ask these kinds of questions?
I hope that was well worded and that everything was spelled correctly, but if not then one of us can't read.

Can we expect to see a change in the wombat(ONI sloop) or switch it with the prowler.

Will you be adding more support ships for both fleets?

Is it possible to improve the travel mechanic for the covenant, so their slip space capabilities makes them much more mobile, like in the lore.
