like the title says, No UNSC Titan?

[Jaeger]

UNSC Titan is not in Public Build.

 

 

Otherwise I cant say anything else or ill be back to the blue

[darkrider400]

So im playing a match here, and so far, the game has reported the Covenant building Titans (multiple other ai) buuuutttttt, which is kind of odd, considering what low logic levels go into putting one factions Titan in before another factions Titan in?

[SPECTRE]

I feel as if the when the titans are added it will add the one thing that SOTP needs.

A centre piece.

[darkrider400]

man, these ai got like 10 DDS class ships, but, ive got 40-something Marathon class ships (all with nukes) and most of them with fighters (because the enemy has a ton of bombers) with some bombers mixed in, and 10 or so Orion Battlecruisers, lets see them take this on! (they probably will crush me)........

It was there and ready so they left it in, the Infinity on the other hand at that point was still being made not even ingame for us playtesters. 

 

Covenant titan is basically a sniper they wreck havoc on things like SMAC stations and most ships at range but shield a Thermoplye or couple of Autumns supported by other ships and it will get destroyed by the shivas and mac fire. Not even really a titan in my mind just a really good specialty ship

[darkrider400]

not really, the AI was on the easiest it could go, and yet, somehow produces 500+ CCS class ships with over 50+ Titans (Salvation class), that was ONE EASY ai, i managed to keep the other 2 happy with some resource gifts............ and im not exxargerating on the ship numbers, that what the end game result was after the AI annihilated my planets.............

[darkrider400]

I had so many SMACS surrounding my planets, and the worst part is, i had managed 20 Thermoplyes or whatever they're called, and they killed them all in less than half a minute...........

Salvations (CAS) are not titans they are standard capital class ships with the unique ability of being the only cap ship (afaik) thats not a titan to be immune to flood.

 

The Ai even the cheatiest of the cheating ones can only build 1 titan.

 

 

Also Im sure it was crisiss(or rovert can't remember might of been HTRK) who did the math that you can get 236 CCSes with no Caps built. So unless you had one fercious battle where each side kept sending in more no way they had that all at once. Both sides also only get 36 capital ship crew and the Slavation take up two I think.

Soon™

Here is the situation on the UNSC Titan. We will be placing Infinity as the titan. We currently have a placeholder in the private build. However, it is unlikely that we will release Infinity without the appropriate art assets. The artist that is responsible for most of the UNSC fleet is currently working on the Infinity. As such the ships will be done in the same quality as the other ships you have seen.

[Crisiss]

The UNSC doesn't even need a Titan in the public release. They're already incredibly broken.

Since a lot of you don't seem to recognize which ship is the Titan, it is the Superdestroyer, AKA the Covenant battleship. It has a large shield threshold, incredibly fast shield regen, many weapon banks for it's powerful weapons, and some support abilities. It is not made to be a fleet centerpiece. The UNSC counterpart is.

[darkrider400]

The Infinity-class warships had 4 MAC cannons, will they fire simotaneusly, or staggered? It was also equipped with Forerunner equipment such as Forerunner Shielding, Engines, etc. Annnnndd, it was able to completely dwarf a CCS-Clas BattleCruiser, as exampled in this video, it was able to ram one while just exiting Slipspace (which is a ship's most vulnerable point in time) and it didnt even scratch the paint.

Ramming time starts around 4:48 in the video

[darkrider400]

And if the Covvie Titan is the Super-Destroyer, then it shouldnt be able to survive more than 27 mac rounds, because thats how many ships were left in Cole's fleet after the second battle of Harvest when they faced the Super-Destroyer, so yeah.......

Some of the ships such as the marathon has double macs, and even some of coles fleet didn't even have macs.

[darkrider400]

Yes, Cole's fleet consisting of 1+ Marathon Class(2 MACs), 10+ Halycon Class(1 MAC), 9+ Frigates, and his command ship.

You mean 4+ marathons.

[darkrider400]

Where does it say that? Im looking on the wiki and it says 1+, not to mention I've read all the Halo books and I remember they had to fire ALL their MAC's so that they would impact the ship at the same time, but only Cole's ship had the advanced AI needed to coordinate all the ships that good, not to mention that Marathon-Class Cruisers never really made a show in the books......

Where? In the genesis comic you can clearly count at least 4 with a couple of probables and possibly more off screen.

They were in the books. UNSC leviathan?

[darkrider400]

I think you're counting some Halycon-class ships in there, not to mention there was only 5 ever named in the books/comics.
