I was curious with the UNSC release immenint, there has been some lack of discussion on the covenant. How long would the full release take after the UNSC release, taking into account how much total progress in the covenant. How many models are finshed? How much, if any of the tech tree is finshed? I am really excited for the mod and the playtesters are truly lucky. Cheers and have a good day.

lets just say this. If the UNSC is in the 80% range of "almost done" then the covenant is about 30-45ish%.

The Covenant has been almost untouched for a year, that is until about a month ago. Even so, all that's been added is the new Frigate and some new skins. More is coming from what I hear but I wouldn't expect too much. Right now the UNSC is the big focus.

It seems like when someone creates a new fool-proof solution, someone gives birth to a better fool.

Thank you jbug. You win the correct award (for the most part...)

The Covenant are playable. We have placeholder models from other mods. They don't have their final abilities or weapon stats yet. Once we finalize the UNSC after we get community feedback and balance them we'll be able to start really getting the Covies ready.

Just out of interest, if the spartan boarding party ability is used on a covenant ship, could there be a chance of obtaining a forerunner artifact like the ones found on planets in vannilla sins?

I don't think that the covenant carry around Forerunner artifacts and i also doubt that it is possible.

Bornsteller is so good of a modeler that he should be on the cover of Victoria Secret.™

No, not possible. Artifacts are planetary objects.

Superior tactics won't count for crap if they just come at you with hundreds more ships than you have, this is the reason I turn the flood off when I play

All this talk about the flood being a nightmare makes me reconsider my custom made map that has 3 star systems.

and 5 pirate bases in a ring around each star, which are the only way to access said star.
