I've been playing for a while now and this is my thought of this mod. Also I will be adding more later

 

Bugs

  • The picture of the titan is  wrong
  • The picture of human starbase is wrong
  • When ever I have a decent Defense at my base the enemy refuses to come to my planet and attack.(Don't know if this is problem with the mod are just the standard game because I really only play this mod.) 
  • If the flood isn't contained early on the game becomes unplayable with multi star systems.(The game is too laggy)
  • The flood will attack people with bounties on their head.
  • The default orbit when making maps is way too small.

Changes I would like

  • Titan
  1. The Dreadnought-class  being the titan
  2. The titan should be beefed up (one titan should be able to hold it's own against half fully upgraded fleet.
  3. The titan should cost more 
  • More capitals for the covenant  
  1. RCS-class
  2.  Reverence-class cruiser
  3. plot device-class
  • Special planets
  1. Once capture a shield world that new planet owner should receive either one Vanguard ship or a factory for sentinels
  2. Halo planet should have 100% artifact rating, with a new artifact called "Activate Halo".
  • New artifact
  1. Activate Halo: Once every 3000 seconds players allowed to active the halo ring which 20 second EMP rendering all enemies ships with No regen, All weapons offline.

Titan:

1. The Dread never was shown with weapons.

2. The Titan is supposed to be a Pseudo Titan.

3. Meh

 

 

Cap:

RCS: Maybe

Rev: Don't believe so

Plot Device: HOW DARE YOU!?

 

Planets:

1. Possible

2. Harcoding prevents this

 

Artifacts: See above

# 3 under caps shows Plot Device class but it won't allow me to.

Also the dread never shown it because of the war of San 'Shyuum and the Sangheili. But I'm telling you this now this the covies best ship they have.

Thank you for taking the time to give us much needed feedback! I hope despite your concerns you're enjoying the mod!

  • The enemy refuses to attack you where it might lose? That seems like an intelligent move, wouldn't you think?
  • Having the Flood on (you can turn them off in the game options before you start the match) is really meant as a survival mode or horde mode, not for normal gameplay.
  • The Flood attacks everyone.
  • See our new Galaxy Forge download on the ModDB page, you have to use the mod's galaxyscenariodef file.
  • Covenant will get no Forerunner ships.
  • RCS is coming eventually. Maybe Reverence.
  • No superweapons in SotP. No Halo activations, no NOVA bombs.
  • There will be no Super Plot Device Carrier from Halo Reach:

It does in the new book broken circles. 

The guns are removed in the book as part of the Covenant, they were added by the Prophets, not standard issue.

My response isn't to squash dialogue, just to make some things clear.

Which I did like, I'm just here to say what I think. I do really playing the mod you guys make. Hoping I'll play the updated version sooner or later.

I'll give a point-by-point response here, just to inform you of our decisions and stuff.
Again, like Uni, not to squash discussion, just to give you an idea. We're open to a lot of dialogue, but some stuff we just can't do due to balancing and game restrictions.
 
  • The picture of the titan is  wrong

Probably, it's just a placeholder model IIRC
 

  • The picture of human starbase is wrong


How so? Pic?
 

  • When ever I have a decent Defense at my base the enemy refuses to come to my planet and attack.(Don't know if this is problem with the mod are just the standard game because I really only play this mod.) 


Probably the result of playing with an AI, especially if they're on Easy. They get scared easily.
 

  • If the flood isn't contained early on the game becomes unplayable with multi star systems.(The game is too laggy)


WONTFIX, as designed. Seriously, flood is supposed to be unstoppable. Lag is only a small part of their arsenal :)
 

  • The flood will attack people with bounties on their head.


And those without. The flood does not bow down to your mortal money.
 

  • The default orbit when making maps is way too small.


I'll need someone who's more of an expert to confirm this, but I think that's a Galaxy Forge bug and not ours. The planet size and orbits are changed from vanilla, to try to encourage more tactical gameplay.
 

The Dreadnought-class  being the titan


As mentioned previously, there are multiple issues with that, the least of which being its size
 

The titan should be beefed up (one titan should be able to hold it's own against half fully upgraded fleet.


Not exactly the flavor we're going for with the Covvie Titan. It's very heavily armed, but only moderately tough. It needs a lot of fleet support, and losses should be expected.
 

The titan should cost more


See above
 

More capitals for the covenant


Nope. We're going for a 3-1 ratio for UNSC vs Covenant ships. Giving them more caps would totally break that part of the balance...
 

RCS-class


See Uni's post above. It's in the works, maybe
 

Reverence-class cruiser


Absolutely no idea
 

cso-class


Haha nope. We have a history with that particular class of game-breaking balance-shattering starship. It will never be seen in this mod.. Or, as CanadaMan7 so eloquently put it,
 

It's a solid 29 kilometers of never-getting-in-this-goddamn-mod.

---------------------------------

Once capture a shield world that new planet owner should receive either one Vanguard ship


hardcoding.jpg
 

or a factory for sentinels


That's more possible, and has, in fact, been discussed. No idea if it's made it past the drawing board though.
 

Halo planet should have 100% artifact rating, with a new artifact called "Activate Halo".


hardcoding.jpg, at least about activating halo. We do have plans for the rings though. Just not wipe-out-the-galaxy type plans.
 

Activate Halo: Once every 3000 seconds players allowed to active the halo ring which 20 second EMP rendering all enemies ships with No regen, All weapons offline.

You have posted more than the allowed number of quoted blocks of text

LOLnope, I'm an admin.


EDIT:
Oh, and thanks for playing and for the feedback. We do try hard to listen to our community and do everything we possibly can, within reason of course.
In case you haven't seen our most recent news threads, we're putting a lot of effort into a total rework/rebalance, so some of your balancing concerns may be completely irrelevant now. Feedback is always appreciated though, unless it's about the [p|P][lo|ol]t [d|D]evice class

The default orbit when making maps is way too small.

 

 

I believe Gravity Well Size is supposed to be set to -1 for all planets for making maps in SotP

To be fair, that was his OP. Evidently quoting banned words as an admin un-bans them. Go figure
