Not sure its still being worked on the mod and its getting closer.

The Pillar of Autumn looks like it was plucked right out of Halo.

They did move around, infact they even had huge mushroom ships that were used specificly as a shield from enemy fire, having no weapons of their own.

In large fleet battles with Newtonian physics, coordinating the movements of all those ships would be a nightmare.  Also, the Cradle-class vessel was used to shield the UNSC warships because they were stuck in a defensive wall formation over the planet and could not move, otherwise the Covenant would be able to do whatever they wanted to the planet.

I also believe that any competent Ship Captains would be able to maneuver individually or in small goups without any input from the admiral of their fleet and still stay coordinated. And I do beleive that vast majority of captians from both UNSC and Convenant are extremely competent.

looks like you've come a long way from most mods ive seen cant wait for it to come out same for the mod im starting to play test for.

I Return to THIS? Jesus Canada, your work brings tears to my eyes. Perhaps you can let me in on this later after i get settled back in 7DS?

Hey guys,

I'm back with the Gorgon class destroyer, an older ship and a relic of past conflicts that is being re-used by the UNSC due to dwindling fleet resources. It was one of the first ships to have a MAC aboard before they became standard armament on UNSC vessels, and comes heavily armored. It is also a bit larger than both modern frigates and destroyers.

Be on the lookout for the 3rd and final variant of the destroyers for the UNSC, coming soon.

wouldnt it be kind of a twist to make the flood a mix of the UNSC and covenant, just a thought! looks good thus far.

so how far along is the mod? i wonder if we could get an estimate of how soon we'll see it.  Not like a date or anything just like perhaps a month, three months, or a year? or longer?

How long do these mods usually take to put together?

I'm sure probably awhile seeing how its such good work being done so far, and its so extensive.  It must take awhile with only a few people working on it.

Yeah, it usually takes a couple years, even with a full team. I've been working pretty much by myself, with a few other people stopping in to lend a hand every once and while. It's getting close though.

hey i thought I'd use this topic to ask this since its halo/sins related. 

I found a link to some great Halo maps for sins (http://www.fileplanet.com/191633/download/Sins-of-a-Solar-Empire---Halo-Universe-Maps) the only problem is that when I try to open it up in galaxy forge, as I usually do for maps I download to tweak them to how I like to play, Most every planet on the maps is a variant not standard in sins.  I'm guessing it was created using one of the mods that give more planet diversity.  Like Reach is a military planet, and Earth is a city I think and stuff like that so I'm just wondering three things, first if anyone knows what mod is being used in this map. Second how I can create maps using that mod in galaxy forge so my planets can be that diverse.  And third will this mod work in tandem with the Sins of the Prophets mod thats in development because it would really add to the awesomeness if we had that much diversity in planets for the halo mod.

if that link doesn't work just let me know and I'll see if I can get one that does.  Or just upload the maps myself onto moddb.com (also I'm not sure who made these maps or I'd give them a shout out for making such extensive and awesome maps.)

edit: if there's an appropriate forum topic please direct me to it.
