Description
A scenario based on our own Solar System featuring planets from Cybdevil.
Earth!, now lets send in some Covenant bitches to start the Battle of earth :P
Where are my Super MACs?
Yea...how many Super Mac's can a planet hold? Doesn't Earth have 300?
yeah, thats about right
lol, the Covies are phuqed
nice frigates, and the Earth looks very good but where are the super MAC guns?
nice picture, keep up the good work
Calm down, the SMACs will be there.
I forgot to build them before I took the picture.
lol smac
you smac me I smac you!
Most didn't have them - to my knowledge, only Earth, Reach and maybe Onyx and Tribute had the arrays. As for the planets that did have them had about 150 to 200 defense platforms, the stations were set up in firing clusters with 3 to 5 stations in each group. Earth's network, however, had about 300. That being said, most colonies did have the mass drivers left over from the original colony ships, and those could have easily been repurposed into weaker ground based MAC cannons for defensive means.
150-200? Reach had 20, Earth has 300, Onyx had none and Tribute is in the same system as Reach would have been defended by the UNSC fleet stationed there.
I can't see Earth having 300 in-game, to overpowered.
no it certainly won't be 300, however Reach had only 20. Reach the primarily operations of the military, so most bases had either 5-10, maybe 15, with reach being the highest amount of SMAC's. My guess - Earth just got the overhaul cause it was all that was left + a handful of colonies. The only real thing holding back a covenant fleet was SMAC's, so they overdosed it with MAC stations. I highly doubt that they were all SMAC's however. They might have been regular MAC guns with a center SMAC.
If clusters of 3, then that would mean that for every SMAC, there is two regular MAC stations, earth had around 100 SMAC and 200 MAC stations.
Though another thing is - I don't even think they had finished or really STARTED the grid before Earth got invaded as the plan for the grid didn't get approved until after the fall of reach. Building 300 SMAC's is no easy task and the UNSC was on the brink of collapse at that time, I really don't see it pulling the resources so quickly a month after the fall of reach into building 300 SMAC's that same month or even the month after.
Typically you can have 30-35 tactical slots for whatever you want, if it's 35 SMAC's, it's 35 SMAC's, though hangers and repair bays will take up a huge number of tactical slots.
Earth had 100 geosync platforms, Johnson said so in the first 5 mins of Halo 2.
did you wiki it? *skoffs* y do u think u r sooo cool so because u can say something that waas on halopedia made by some Halo worshipper
That is a great screen, i'm really excited for this frigate model
dayme i cant wait to be the covenant and bombard a planet from orbit
then again it IS earth
crap, meant this as a replay T_T
The only planets that are ever mentioned having SMACs in orbit were Reach with 20 and Earth with 300. You are not able to get that many in the mod.
And no most colonies did not have the ground based one as that was usually replaced once the colony could get trash up to space easier. Harvest was just odd.
Earth: Fight for her
Canada....you guys should mess up alittle...you should do a bigger and meaner vertion of that destroyer, something that can make any Covie think twice before firing..... and add it as a capital battleship...besides it a mod not the original thing...or what do you think boys???
"Dear Humanity,
We regret being alien bastards. We regret coming to Earth. And we most definitely regret that the Corps just blew up our raggedy-*** fleet!"
—Sergeant Major Avery Junior Johnson, 2552
Oo-rah!
probably one of the best johnson quotes ever, another one being "send me out with a bang"
I definitely agree. If you need some inspiration, go read a poem or listen to Johnson!
"Men, we led those dumb bugs out to the middle of nowhere to keep 'em from gettin' their filthy claws on Earth. But, we stumbled onto somethin' they're so hot for, that they're scramblin' over each other to get it. Well, I don't care if it's God's own anti-son-of-a-bitch machine, or a giant hula hoop, we're not gonna let 'em have it! What we will let 'em have is a belly full of lead, and a pool of their own blood to drown in! Am I right, Marines?" Sargent Johnson 2552
South America looks a little big dont you think?
i think that's just the curvature of the Earth. If you look closely at the planet's bottom right hand corner(figuratively speaking as a circle does not HAVE a corner), you will see the edge of the South American continent. It looks like an excellent texture, can't wait to defend it like a cornered animal >:)
South America ate a little too much food making her fat...but dont say fat infront of her ;)
How many MAC platforms can you put around a terrian planet???
pls some1 do something about the destroyers if u havent seen them there r 2 official destroyer designs here r some pics and there is also a pic of a prowler in the last link

(above pics r UNSC The Heart of Midlothian)

now for prowler
Images.wikia.com
well the Gorgon is an older ship. Midlothian has never been seen until halo way point did the video of the short story. The Heart of Midlothian would be a cool Capital ship to match the CCS Battlecruiser. i must say it does look mean.
i agree i think the oni prowler should be changed. right now (er at least the last time i saw it) it sorta looks like a flying dumpster.

And WHERE IS MOOOON!??
Blown away by the Covies ='{ :P
earth population around 300.hope its around a billion i would be floating in gazillion credits. lol
Go UNSC!
Haters gonna hate
what you should do is have a super mac cap for the planet. and be able to create them through the defense structure... but instead of placing them around, the just scatter around earth (close to orbit, and unable to select. and really small like those tower things they have on planet surfaces.) and treat them like space mines where it doesnt affect your overall cap but theres still a limit.
No, don't make the smacs small D:
SMACS are easily larger than 2 frigates
