Halcyon-class Light Cruiser Remodel image - Sins of the Prophets mod for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion
A Halo mod for the critically acclaimed Sins of a Solar Empire, that aims to capture the fast paced intensity of the Halo series.
We've decided to redesign our Halcyon-class Light Cruiser! Malcontent1692 had the following to say about why this was decided:
"The design of the new ship was heavily based off of an image used to depict a Halcyon on the Halo 3 map: Orbital. It looked considerably different than the Halo 1 design, more like a stripped down Halo: Reach Pillar of Autumn, which makes a lot of sense.
It was our interpretation that this style seen on Orbital may have been Bungie showing off an image of an un-upgraded Halcyon-class, and such a design transitions way better into the Halo: Reach PoA than than Halo 1 Halcyon does. Therefore, even though our old Halcyon is a good looking and classic model, its design has basically been de-canonized in nearly all media after the first game, with the vast majority of Halcyons after Halo 1 looking either identical or similar to the PoA.
With that in mind, this is going to be our new Halcyon-class model! Textures are already underway and should be ready for public eyes very soon."
