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

The destruction of Earth is epic. It cannot be shrunk.

Haha of course I will, no worries.

Lol we should make rules about this...

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.)

Yeah, the more I think about the station idea the less sense it seems to make, but like I said just thowing that out there.

As far as the Fortress ship goes, I know there are quite a few people out there (myself included) that would love to see one of those things make an appearance in the mod, but I know that as far as scale goes that is nearly impossible. This was meant to be kind of a compromise. A visual reconition of the ship's existance without having to work on scaling and balancing troubles. [Alternativly, have the wreckage of one of these ships floating around an asteroid field somewhere. Like how Deep Reverence was in Cryptum, I think.]

This seems like the most workable solution yet. It's up to the leaders if they think the demand is great enough to reference the fortress ship, or if they personally want them in the mod.

[Centurian128]

Sounds fair to me.

Only 2 ships could really be forerunner titans, The Didacts ships and the council ship

[thefallenlords]

Frankly I am more interested in the Infinity and how it is represented in game what with it's 5 or so different weapons systems and such, especially with what I assume to be its broadside weapons being a network of mini-MACs, autocannons, and missiles which should make for quite a show. Besides, it and the Mantle's Approach have had relatively high exposure in Halo 4 so we should know what each ship is relatively capable of. Not to mention the fact that the Infinity is one of the few UNSC ships that we've seen that aren't blowing up in a Halo game and one of the few (if not the first) to have what appears to be a directed energy weapon alongside the main MAC guns.

There is a Image of the Council Ship?

Well, Since Infinity is no anymore a last resort ship but a exploration ship

That ship have forerunner and covenant technology in it, no mention that is large compared to an assault carrier and its armored (enough to ram and behead an assault carrier in just exiting slipspace and be undamaged aftermath) numerous hangars even squadrons of charon-class Light frigates inside.

[Unikraken]

It was able to ram the ship because of shields.

[Defender0]

and because of acceleration due to exiting slipspace

[Unikraken]

I'm talking about why it survived the collision.

oh, i thought you meant why the CCS was snapped like a twig

Not sure if this belongs in this thread, but regarding wanting to see one of the Forerunner fortress ships, it could be put in as part of the map. I remember, way back in the day, playing a space RTS called O.R.B. in which some of the maps were played in star systems where planets had been destroyed and wreckage of massive space battles littered the area. I also remember how awesome it felt to be exploring a map where there was evidence of long forgotten empires fighting battles for unknown reasons with unimaginable firepower (which I feel encompasses the Forerunners quite well). Plus, it was just bad ass to see a map where a world had a crater the size of a continent in it. Such things drive the imagination...Just a thought.

I remember that RTS as well, however there is not worlds in halo that have been... broken with crater of that size, but it can be possible for unfinished or damaged shield worlds as type of planet... I wonded if in the future we can see this http://fc00.devianta...ed1cb89b63b.jpg as planet type.

Also a unfinished requiem-like world should be nice, the external shell around the world unfinished and the internal world visible.

[Necrontyr]

In the 7th mission of Halo 4, there is such a planet that Installation 03 orbits. In any case, these planets could be a sort of un-colonizible gravity well just as gas giants are. Aspects such as these could do a lot to increase the dramatic feel of the game.

@ 00:34.

And that is an amazing piece of artwork.

[Bornstellaris]

In the book cryptum it describes the ship as silken, immediate, unconstrained power

[VDNKh]

Alright I have to bite. Why won't the Convenant Supercarrier be making an appearance? Arn't they canon from the books?

[firelordzx5]

The SuperCarrier is a massive ship, probarbly the half-side of a halo, Almost invincible, the only way to destroy that thing is... a slipspace bomb...

[sloosecannon]

He doth asked... THE QUESTION

Because Uni hates it... for pretty valid reasons too... but yeah, that's why...

ok, take a 27 Kilometer long ship, add in all the canon weapons, give it the strikecraft complement of the actual thing

AND BALANCE IT
