I see your point... But it couldn't be impossible to balance. Though I can see it now

Covenant Supercarrier is a no-go for several reasons:

1. It breaks the scale of the game. It is larger than some known moons.

2. It would be impossible to balance effectively and make it still be badass.

3. It is literally just an upscaled Assault Carrier, which is completely unimaginative on Bungie's part, so I don't want to support that kind of laziness. It's also nearly impossible to exist. Everything else in the Halo universe is basically just an extension of known science pushed into the realm of guessing where it will go in the future. The kind of resources and manpower necessary to run it, let alone build it, would be nearly impossible for faction like the Covenant, who refuse to use drone technology and track their huragok like crazy.

It won't be in the mod as long as I have a say. Currently our Titan is the Assault Carrier.

Honestly, if somebody really, really wants it, they can unofficially modmod it and scale up the AC and put it in. Not that hard to do....


Oh SOTP modmods... those would be the days...

And that's why only one guy would play it. Ever

Well, isnt it theoretically possible to change the mesh or model or whatever of the superweapon's (i.e. Novalith Cannon) projectile to the supercarrier? That way people who want it in can use it in a sense, people who dont want it in due to balancing issues/whatnot only have to deal with the superweapon projectile, and to tie it all together the description can say that it is a long range slipspace glassing raid by the carrier which cloaks afterwards (though it would just show the supercarrier impacting on the planet for simplicity). This could also apply to the Forerunner fortress class vessels (Deep Reverence). Personally, I wouldnt want either of them as a unit in the game since it would be super OP, but apparently some people want to see it so this could be an intermediate solution.

[Unikraken]

I'm glad you don't actually want that idea in the game, because I actually feel dumber for having read it.

[thefallenlords]

To be fair, I never said it was a good idea. Though I suppose you could just have the supercarrier and fortress class ships as wrecks floating in space that can be colonized like a planet to provide a bonus, I don't think that's quite what some people have in mind when they said that they want the ships in game.

Probably not, but that's pretty much the only way it can happen as either of those ships will break the game. Though, I don't think that the supercarrier can be in such a position lore-wise.

[Emberblaque]

I don't think the leaders care enough about those ships to have someone create a planet mesh of their wreckage. It's just an unnecessary addition. We have to prioritize to get things done in a reasonable amount of time.

[Unikraken]

I have one guy who models Covenant ships. We have 20+ ships in the Covenant fleet. I don't have the time to do mundane stuff like that.

Wait, you are changing a capital ship from the current release into a titan in rebellion?
