I know the title is somewhat upfront, and I know very well that the mod will be launched in Trinity, after the release, the mod will be adapted to rebellion, I know very well but there is something that bothers me

what kind of ship will be used for the titan trope? I have few ideas:

The Insurrectionist are the obvious rebels of UNSC but would be a little unfair?
I mean, the UNSC have the Infinity-class feature in halo 4, easily classificated as a titan for the UNSC but insurectionist have none.
A titan option for insurrectionist is a Salvaged Costumized Covenant Assault Carrier.

The covenant is easy
Covenant Loyalist: Assault Carrier
Covenant Separatist: Modified Assault Carrier

the Forerunner is a hard but
Forerunners Loyalist (Monitors, prometheans): The Didact's ship fit for the loyalist.
Forerunners Rebels (Librarians, someone or something against prometheans?): a planetoid-size or asteroid-size mobile shield world (similar design as requiem)

what do you think?

i dont think they are using separate factions for each race, its actually not necessary to do that

[CanadaMan7]

I think you're getting the wrong idea about the way things are going to work in Rebellion. The two sub-factions don't necessarily have to oppose each other, just be distinct doctrines.

UNSC:
-ONI
-Military Industrial Complex/Corporate Machine

None of the others are really planned out yet, so I'll reserve speculating on what they might be until there's more deliberation on the matter.

[Unikraken]

You select UNSC as your faction and then through research you choose ONI or MIC.

[firelordzx5]

well.
I alway thought that the ONI is a organization within the UNSC, so I didn't notice that point about different doctrines of "rebellion"
no really a problem with ONI's or MIC's doctrine in UNSC. (ONI FTW!)

The separatist and loyalist are the odvious

the forerunners... They don't have to much ships exposed, only fewers

[Unikraken]

You're not a native english speaker are you?

[firelordzx5]

I'm not, why?

[Unikraken]

That last one was pretty disjointed. I'm not 100% sure what it means.

I think the super carrier is an appropriate titan for the Covenant.

I really hope you're trolling. Talk of the supercarrier from Reach is a ban-able offense.

I propose that we replace all instances of "Covenant Supercarrier" with "Covenant Plot Device"

[Defender0]

How about we replace it with something more comical?

i second that

[Bornstellaris]

The forerunners would take a lot from the book Cryptum, from this you could get for the forerunners doctrines could be the Builders guild and the Council. The builders would have the huge Fortress ships and the council would have the council ship.

While I like the idea of the two subfactions not necessarily being in direct opposition to each other, perhaps the Military Industrial Complex/Corporate Machine branch could be renamed to something more palatable such as the UNSCDF. After all, both are under the overall command of UNSC High Command and have their own canonical roles and history whereas Corporate Machine just frankly sounds like an economic principle or something rather than a branch of the UNSC. Similarly, the Forerunner Ecumene can be divided into the Warrior-Servant Corps and Builder Security while the Covenant can just be the generic Sangheili Corps and Covenant High Council (works for both pre-and post Schism!). Titans could be just the obvious choice of the UNSC Infinity, Mantle's Approach, and lets say...the Solemn Penance (canonically no different than a regular Assault Carrier but since it is a High Prophet's personal flagship it could have a massive number of fleet-buffing abilities in game).

The more that I remember from the book was that the two major factions that went toe-to-toe were the Builders Guild and the Prometheans, more specifically the Master Builder and The Didact

Prometheans (not from H4) also known as warrior servants IIRC

But isn't this the forerunner remnent. Because if so then how about instead you have the didact's forces and the librarian's forces (which aren't really forces so much as what remains as the magority of forerunner technology)

The titans the mantle's approach and a halo ring respectively I mean the smaller halo rings (10,000km diameter not 30,000km diameter) I mean that titans are supposed to actually be a fraction of a planets size well a halo is smaller than earth by about 2,000km right

[Unikraken]

Halo installations will be a planet type in Rebellion. The level of power is just too great to balance it in a way that doesn't feel like you're being neutered. We're going to set up maps with Halos and you can capture and hold them for a time to win.
