Do they have to be controlled to win? Or is that just that one win mode?

[Unikraken]

I honestly haven't played enough Rebellion to know for sure, but I would assume if you can keep others from controlling it you could still potentially just kill off your opponents. The capture time would be relatively long for our mod, as movement is kinda slowed down.

[firelordzx5]

somewhat similar in take and control victory condition of dawn of war, you control multiples halo rings and wait for the countdown reach zero.

Also for Forerunner titan, what about a fusion of some forerunners ships, I personally don't know what other ship can be a forerunner titan, aside of a small moving shield world, small halo ring or the didact's ship, "Mantle's Approach "

[Unikraken]

Mantle's Approach will be a titan. We're still quite a ways out from even really putting effort into discussing Forerunner stuff, so dunno about the other one.

[CQBEXPT]

If i remember right the covie titan will be the shadow of intent type ship. I can't remember what the loyalist one was though.

[firelordzx5]

The Covenant Assault Carrier for both sub-faction, The Solemn Penance as loyalist (Prophet of Regret) while Shadow of Intent as separatist (Arbiter/Sangheili Covenant). the same model but with different weaponry.

do the builders have any notable ships?

[KhevaKins]

For forerunners could be Didact and Librarian. Seperate titans but Didact offers offensive/military upgrades and Libarian offers economical/defensive upgrades. Could even have separate model colours (darn this American spelling) for the blue and orange.

But the Mantle's Approach is the only forerunner titan ship out there unless they make another variant of the didact ship.

The Open Battle-Ready = Prometheans

The Closed but Armored = Builders.

Thats how I see the two variants

[Bornstellaris]

The only other ships I could see being the forerunner titans would be the massive fortress ships (I think the biggest was nearly 50-100km long) or maybe the super sleek council ship which outmatched the ships given to the warrior servents in all but the weapons. On the topic of weapons, how will the forerunners weapons be balanced, there main type of beam weapon they used was unbelievably powerful, I mean 4 of them hitting a halo in the same spot would rip right through it.

[Defender0]

i would avoid the fortress ships as they are even bigger than the Covenant Supercarrier Plot Device

[Unikraken]

Forerunner beam weapons will be powerful but slow firing weapons in our mod.

[firelordzx5]

Also, To much power in that fortress-ship also the size is too big, The Didact ship is ftting for the mod, the size is perfect, the weapons too, and the most important, the variants (If you see more close in the Image that I posted, It show the rear of the Didact ship and its forms) for both, Builders and Prometheans

Another thing, question: what kind of color effect will have the forerunner's weapons? most of the forerunner ships and weapons (sentinels, prometheans) are blazing orange in most of the halo I played (or saw)

Currently blue. Will probably change though

[Reaper_Armada]

I didn't mean the one from Reach. You can use whatever model or some such as you want but the class and assumed statistics of the super carrier seem appropriate.

[Emberblaque]

That would just make it like a refit Assault Carrier with improved armament. The only thing that doesn't make it an Assault Carrier is its size.

[Reaper_Armada]

Ok well you can do what you want. I was only making a suggestion.

[Centurian128]

Just throwing this out there for consideration, but does a Titan for Rebellion need to be a ship or can it be a unique station of some kind?

Also, regarding the fortress ships from the Forerunners; I know that it'd be game breaking on multiple levels to have a functioning one in Sins, but is it possible to make it a unique planet type or something along those lines, possibly an addition to an asteroid field? Similar to the plan for the Halo rings. Or have it as an aesthetic doodad of sorts, a little addition to a gas giant's texture/skin or something?

Haven't played Rebellion, I'm betting a Titan is strictly a ship type, and therefore fundamentally different from a station. Unless of course you mean only the model appears to be a station, that's perfectly acceptable. We'll have a cruiser in the UNSC release that is canonically a space station.

I'd say a fortress ship planet type, or a fortress ship illustrated on a texture would be pretty lame looking no matter what the skill and effort of the modeler/artist. And they are definitely not massive enough to exert an observable gravitational attraction, unlike your mom (couldn't help it.)

Reaper your sig is too big. Shrink that shit, yo.
