o and by the way i noticed that the spirit of fire is about the size of the assualt carrier and the marathon is smaller than any capitol ship and that dallas one is kinda big.  so whats up with it?  is there an easy way to fix it.  also for entrenchment i rebalanced the ships(my way) and it still needs testing...yeah i really need to tinker with it more but it works the way i think its suppost to though and thats what matters.

That would only work with entrenchment but you could make it work pretty well.

If u've ever noticed when you upgrade your orbital defenses there is golden particle effect that that flows over the structure and when its gone... there's ur upgrade. now if you made new particle effect for the glassing like say a huge cloud of smoke or somethin so when it clears, the panet looks burnt.

 



Well I actually dont have entrenchment as of yet. So I haven't seen this.

On another note, anyone know what class this guy could be used for? I was thinking either a Mako corvette or a frigate/destroyer of some kind.






That should definetely be the Mako

Also, while we are on the glassing thing, I'd like to reiterate a point I made a while ago:

I've been thinking of ways to incorporate Pelicans into the mod and I've come up with this: the UNSC would never bombard an inhabitable planet with nuclear warheads or any other weapons. They would send down an invasion force, whether it be by means of Pelicans, Albatrosses, or exo-atmospheric insertion by means of HEVs. This would make for excellent research: Regimental Increase: Level 1:5%"damage" boost/Level 2: 10%boost, Albatrosses: Level 1:15% boost/ Level 2:20% boost, ODSTs: Level 1:25% boost

We could also do this with the Covenant. It would be unrealistic to think that they could re-inhabit a planet that they just bombarded with super-heated plasma. Firstly, all the ground would be glass. Secondly, the oceans and atmosphere would have boiled away. And still, the Covenant invaded a planet and exterminated its population before they glassed it. The Covenant have dropships and drop pods too. Why shouldn't they do the same as the UNSC[in the mod]?

I was thinking and I thought that we could sneak in some civilian research that would decrease the rate of "bombardment" damage.

For the effects, the explosions could be smaller and more widespread to show that there is fighting taking place.



Well the covenant did partialy glass harvest in halo wars, and in the books it says that every human world the covenant conqured (with a few exceptions) was glassed.

[rant]

I know. The point of the post is that after a planet has been glassed like the Covenant do, the planet is NOTHING, and I put an emphasis on nothing, but a ball of glass; no atmosphere, no fresh water(or any water for that matter), no habitable landscape. It's just unrealistic to think that the Covenant can just move in after the planet was glassed. You'd need a helluva lot of advancement in terraforming to make that planet habitable again, something that the Covenant have not shown and most likely do not have in canon.

True if the Covenant glass something (not invade mind you) I want the planet uncolonizable.

You have to make tough choices when you're playing as the Covenant:

Should I glass that planet or do I expand my empire by invading it? It will mostly depend on the maps but in the small maps this will be a large problem for the Covenant.

Also, Thomas try not to quote posts with qoutes in them already. Thats one monster post you got there.

I think I may have found a canon picture of a UNSC destroyer.

Possibly Canon Destroyer Pic

It's from some comic book so I don't know how canon it is but it is has to be better than what you have right now.

Well, the Halopedia article has that picture (and has a reference to a definitely canon destroyer with the same name). However, Halsey said that Destroyers are the same excdept 7 meters longer because of extra armor. We already have the Firgate and destroyer models according to that, and I don't think we wnat to make a whole new model for something we already have just to be canon (especially when we don't even half half of the UNSC done).

So, are you guys planning to use the "Relic Worlds" in the game as planets that are a MUST have. Must have as in, very valuable, lots of structure and defense slots, big tax rates ect... Just wondering since Relic worlds are in Halo as well.

Well I was actually thinking that the new destroyer could replace the current destroyer I have in. Maybe when this releases for entrenchment we can have the original frigate upgrade to "Frigate MK 2" (with the old destroyer mesh) since it allows for updateble meshes. Just a thought.

i think we should keep them all.  we need ships to replace the vanilla ones anyway and we to remember that the unsc still had to develop new ships durring the war.  ergo we should just make the one from the halo wars book an old model upgraded to the new one while still having the old one usable. 

 

 

*edt*  halo wars takes place 20 years before halo so any ship in the halo wars genisis book is an old ship.

Thats the consensus that i've seen over on the Sri-corp forums as well. Most likely that WILL be the MAKO corvette model, with maybe some small changes here and there.

The UNSC chart is wrong, cuz the spirit of fire is way to small, it is actually 2500 meters or 2.5 kilometers long which translates roughly to about 1.5 miles.

Wow. I hope he'll let us use it. Oh, and I've made some progress on the LRM frig. The class trip to DC, tennis, and Entrenchment have kept me from the model for a while. I actually made a good amount of the current detailing while in the van on the ride back.

With all those cannons, it could easily be an Anti-Fighter Frigate
