Posted by on

Sup guys, It's been a while.

After a period of silence, I've been updating a significant amount. If you're new, I'll help catch you up in this update.

Covenant
: Construction Vehicle

The first of the models from the good folks at HHF that I rigged up for Sins.
Not much to talk about, it builds the Covenant's Structures.
Covenant Construction Covenant Construction

UNSC: Halcyon-class Cruiser
Even casual Halo fans should remember this ship.
Yup, the same class as the distinguished Pillar of Autumn is, of course, going to be in the mod. You will start off with the default Halcyon but with advanced research you can upgrade it into a ship that will cause the Covenant some headaches.
Model/Texture by Blamtroid.
Halcyon Halcyon (in shadow)

UNSC: Thermopylae-class Super Carrier
The very biggest and most modern class of the UNSC, the Thermopylae-class is armed to the teeth:
-20 archer missile launcher hardpoints
-20 Shiva nuclear missile hardpoints
-gauss turrets
-Gigantic planetary bombardment gun
Scale edit/texture update Scale edit/texture update

For the team:
You been absent ever since the last alpha, with most of you being busy with life and such. Well, time to get back to work. Alpha v4 is gonna be up this week.ork.

Hope this brought you up to speed,

Well, I just released the 4th team alpha right now and I plan to have 5 alphas. I can't really give a solid date on the beta but the time is approaching soon.

whats the reason for 20 shiva nuke hardpoints on the super carrier? it just seems a bit odd for so many hardpoints for a weapon so powerful, furthermore, would this mean the super carrier will be spamming shiva nukes?

Well, it doesn't mean it will use them all at once. This was mostly an aestetic choice, so missiles come out of different pods at different times.

Doesn't mean it won't have an ability that'll launch all of its Shiva's at once though :D

Yeah but 20 shiva pods will ensure a steady stream of them coming out.

What version will be the minimum for this mod?

Cause I have the default v1.0 ATM and I'd really like to play the mod,but I'm afraid this might require upgrades(Which with my suckish connection will take FOREVER)

Sorry, it requires the most current patch.

Maybe just leave the Computer on for a couple days? :P

So, I'm just curious here, but how long until the mod is done? I understand patience is a virtue, and I can wait, but I'm still curious.
