It's actually been a thing, just people are insistent on bypassing the filter.

That was already specified in the thread post. However, the mod team does not wish to implement the "Plot Device" [Although it was in Ghosts of Onyx!].

Not the plot device. That is what we have a problem with. If the GoO ship had appeared in more than just the novel, then it would probably be in.

what if we made the covenant titan the Super carrier?

holy fuck

Actually the P L O T  D E V I C E appeared in Ghosts of Onyx (First appearance was in Halo: First Strike, just thought I'd add that) and Halo: Reach, hence it has appeared in two forms of the franchise, making it not a plot device. Even more so, Ghosts of Onyx came out in 2006, 4 years before Halo Reach again making it a part of canon NOT A PLOT DEVICE.

"A plot device can be anything which moves the plot forward or maintains it.^[1]

A contrived or arbitrary plot device may annoy or confuse the reader, causing a loss of the suspension of disbelief. However a well-crafted plot device, or one that emerges naturally from the setting or characters of the story, may be entirely accepted, or may even be unnoticed by the audience."

 

Check. Mate.

It isn't going in, stop talking about it. Go make your own, or rather upscale the CAS 9x and play with it's stats.

there are SEVERAL reasons why this ship is not going in, the biggest being balancing. Take a ship thats 29 km long, give it the approprate stats (health, shielding, armor), give it the canon weaponry, the fighter compliment, and then...balance it.
 
yeah... it is not even close to worth the effort.

I don't want it in the game, I am not fighting for it to be in the game. I am defending its legitimacy as a Covenant Warship.

Nobody was contesting that so I have no idea who you're defending it from.

[MasterBuilderFaber]

All 10,000 of your mothers, that's who.

ghost of onyx supercarrier is reasonably legitimate, the reach supercarrier is BS

[Crisiss]

If you wanna create some new design for it, by all means do, run it by someone on the team, see where that goes, but the Reach design of the Supercarrier will never be in. Half of the team would quit before that happened.

it already is in, its the same model as the assault carrier in halo reach

there is no difference in models

New design. Not new model. Like a different layout of the ship.

ik, i was making a joke about the fact that scaling up the assault carrier gives you the reach supercarrier, at least asthetically

[MasterBuilderFaber]

Increase the size of the CAS by two or three, give it new stats and abilities and walah.

[Defender0]

no. first off, wrong scaling ratio, its closer to 5.8 or 5.9. second, thats WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too lazy a ship idea, and its not going to ever be considered. ever. ever. ever.

[Crisiss]

If it's so easy do it yourself.. make mini mod. Go for it, as long as Uni doesn't care. The things 29km, a CAS is 3km, do the math.

[Defender0]

a CAS is 3km

5.3 km, you probably mistook it for being 3 miles long

[Crisiss]

damn commie measurements
