That's right lady and gentlemen! Time for a Q and A session!

 

Post your question for the Sins of the Prophets dev team below and I'll pick the best ones to be answered by the team in a news post for the site here and on Mod DB.

 

Some basic rules:

 

• Do not answer others questions, depending on the questions asked this may end up serving as an addition to the FAQ (this includes the dev team, just observe).
• Do not ask a question if it's already been asked, just like the post with the question, more likes = more likely to be answered.
• Don't waste our time, no juvenile stuff or ridiculous questions that you can't expect a serious answer from us about.
• One question per person. If you want a specific person to answer go ahead and address it to them.

Now ask away! Answers will be compiled on Mondayish.

So in the newest release the Athens Carrier has been removed from the capital ship slot and placed into a non capital ship slot. Will the Athens be playing the same role as it was before or will it be different? Also will anything be filling the void of capital ship slot that the Athens has left? ps Best.Mod.Ever

Will there be any Titans in this mod in the foreseeable future? If so, what will you use for them? If not, that's perfectly fine too! Fantastic mod guys! My inner nerd freaked out when I found out about this mod. LOVE IT!

Why do only select ships have fighters in the covenant? I at least expected the CCS to have a fighter squadron. The only ships I've seen that have fighters are the capitol ships, and the SDV.

Will races be limited to one titan per game like vanilla?  Or will some races be able to build multiple of their tian ships?  An example would be, the UNSC Infinity is the first of the Infinity-class of ships, and in UNSC-Covenant relationships the balance of power is supposed to shift from Covenant to UNSC the longer the game goes on as I have read, so will that be reflected in part via the Infinity-class, or just a single Infinity-class ship?

Firstly, is there any possibility in the future of a nerf against the Flood? Does the Forerunner faction have any sort of immunity to Flood infection? As I recall, Sentinels can't get infected. 

 

Secondly, is the UNSC going to get any new ships beyond the possible upcoming Titan class ship, or is the list now solid? 

 

Thirdly, could you possibly give a guess date until the Covenant faction is fully worked out to the point that it is at least as polished as the UNSC faction?

Are you going to change the  ship-class names from the coveant into something that sounds more cov'ish?

[SPECTRE]

The splaser ship and the omega station, is it official that you want them in the mod?

[Darastrixy]

i have a question. why don't any of the ships have a type of cloak, when clearly they have them in the games?

[SternuS]

Will the Infinity have the two side MACs? And will it have 4 MACs or will you implement those two energy projectors we saw at the end of Halo 4, about which there is no information, not even a hint on the guide?

Side MACs? Two forward and two backward. Onagers on the side. And uni has been convinced that they weren't energy projectors just shitty animations.

Another 343 inconsistency, it was stated in halo 4 promotional content, and either glasslands or Thursday war that the MACs were orientated to the rear.

Guys, get back on topic.

 

Will the CCS cruiser glass planets again?

[Yarrpy]

Is there going to be a increase in covernent fleet size? as i was playing a 2 hour or so game and my fleet of ccs and assault cariers plus CPV's couldnt take the Ai's UNSC fleet as they have a considerately larger fleet size ( and yes all my tech was upgraded) Also the weapon the vallient class crusier has to disable ships is a bit long lasting! is it going to be reduced?

 

Yes i was mico managing

Seriously guys, all of you speak and read English. Do not make me ban you for a day just because you're too dumb to read the fucking OP and grok it.

[Cmdr Daefaron]

Will the Covenant/UNSC get the diplomancy pact researches and upgrades? If you go the route of 'split' factions like Rebellion base, would the elite-side of the schism Covenant have more diplomancy tech?

 

Will the UNSC get weapon research upgrades like the Covenant?

[Hopit]

Is the "plot device-class supercarrier" going to be the covenant titan?

[Cmdr Daefaron]

Will the super-destroyer get a new model eventually?

[SPECTRE]

So the burning question was sub factions earlier on in the mods development you implied that ONI and UNSC were separate entities. and this recently came up so on his behalf i ask.

 

I was gonna actually make a suggestion thread about sub factions depending on how Escalation and Mortal Dicta go.  The Arbiter and Jul 'Mdama's factions could be two sub-factions.  As could the Innie's and the UNSC.
