Halo MOD?

Halo MOD?

from Sins Forums
Ok so I am just throwing this idea out there because I am a Halo fanatic and I think that this game could easily incorporate the Halo universe into it. I am not a very good designer but I can provide support and more ideas. There are already two races that could easily be changed into the Humans and the Covenant( TEC and Advent). All we would have to do would be to change ships some and add  gauss guns to most TEC Cap ships. I know this might take a long time but if it means that we will finally have a Halo space combat game then it will be well worth it.

For neutralizing SMAC cannons, the Covanant should have long range fighters and bombers that have scaled down slipspace drives or what every you want to call them. that would force UNSC players to buy fighters and flak frigates just so they don't spend all their cash on an unbeatable fortress world.

Actually seeing as the magnetic coils on teh SMAC are so large is exactly why they dont have point defence. So it would make sense that this is how the covenant kill them.

We know of three strategies the covenant used to kill SMACs.
1. pin-point slipspace jump sacrificing a ship to kill one with a plasma torpedo.
2. Air dropping troops to the surface to kill the power generators.
3. Boarding parties to destroy them from the inside.

The plasma beam mentioned by Flux_87 was never actually used by the covenant against a SMAC station to my knowledge though i might have to double check that. Im fairly certain that ship only attacked other human ships until Keys and Cortana killed it.

I see a flaw in the flood pirates idea. I'm pretty sure you won't be able to influence them by giving them credits

hey guys i have been reading your thread and think that if you add HALOS or the ARK into the mod then the flood could attack whoever controls a HALO or the ARK, just and idea and i wanted to help
Reply #532 from Sins Forums Top
that's a pretty clever idea but i'm not sure how i could get that to work.
Reply #533 from Sins Forums Top
i dont know if this is possible but replace the pirates with the flood and make the HALOS like the bounty whoever has the most gets attacked, but again i don't know if you could program that at all

i havent had a chance use forge for sins but unless the bounty for pirates is hardcoded all you should have to do is make the flood pirates and then use halos instead of credits as the way that targets are selected, but this only works if the bounty system isnt hardcoded.

I got another idea about that. For it (if possible) who ever controls the most Halos (Ark counts as... 5 maybe?) will get "attacked" by the flood. Instead of a force coming and striking them, they start losing their ships. By that, i mean that if they have 3 CCS's in orbit above a Halo, slowly, they start to go neutral. So 1 of your CCS's start attacking the other 2. slowly one more will convert, then the last will. I highly dout this will work, but it is an idea.

If we stick to bounty, and ships, we can bribe the Gravemind with supplies like weapons for combat forms or ships.

hey anyone know where you can change how much damage an ability does? I just made the Shiva and i want to boost the damage a bit, it's currently at 150 >:P

If you really want to implement the flood then have them start on the halo as their own faction. (JUST THE HALOS never the ark)

Use it as a planetary skill that is used every 10 or 20 minutes. every time the skill is activated an additional 3-5 flood ships will appear around the rings. The earlier you capture one the less flood will be there. This skill would also create a flood version of a media hub which would spread their "culture" (aka spores). idk if this last bit is possible but have "culture" induced planets produce flood ships as well.

In addition all flood ships should have a capture ability that requires the ship to be damaged to 50% and recharges every 5-20 minutes.

As to pointing out the resiliance of the flood, they should have .00001 shields to activate their very high mitigation effect (essencially no shields but gives them mitigation) as well as low hp moderate regen (no shield regen) but high armor.

Something like 500 health, 5 regen, 30 armor (+1500 hp), 70% mitigation. That will of course have to be playtested with other ships to make sure its fair but that seems the most realistic way to look at the flood.

Pirates should remain as they are as they can simply act as human pirates or rebels.

Range, cost and cooldown are in the ability part and the damage is dictated in the buff part.

This will put your head down on the pavement and kick out your teeth. It's Beast. Damage isn't final though.

just a size comparison between the frigate and the Marathon:

Hope its enough to hold off the Halo pangs for another couple days.

Just one question I forgot to post. I see the models and all. and they look.... AMAZING but I was wondering. Why are they all black. It looks like they dont have a texture and color yet. Or is that just because of the suns glare? I mean we wouldent want these things posted without texture. =0 but keep it up

Ah so theyre not skinned. lol I forgot the word. I thought it was the glare of the sun or something.
