[quote who="All_Under_Heaven" reply="18" id="2125916"] I was playing a round as the UNSC by playing both sides I was able to set up a massive fleet battle of 71 CCS cruisers and 6 Assault Carriers against my force of 53 frigates, 31 destroyers, 14 Hokies(yes I know they aren't UNSC but I needed repair ships), 1 Phoenix, 1 Halcyon, and 4 Marathons. I loaded the fight 3 times. In the straight up fight my UNSC forces, which didn't even have a 2:1 advantage were utterly anni
[quote who="Thomas Fife" reply="19" id="2126008"] Quoting vunda, reply 16a suggestion on the player portraits(if you wanna go through the extra work) would be to get master chief, along with the arbiter from halo wars(if possible) The Master Chief never commanded ships. He was always on the ground. In fact, he disliked warships because he had very little control. I watched ALL of the Halo Wars cutscenes and they were orgasmic, to say the least. I never thought
Ok, here's a little mini-update. I took screens of Halo characters and Photoshopped them to make player portraits!

From wat I saw, there were no "random splotches". There was something in SS #8 (at the bottom left) that looked like it could be interpreted as random but I think it's just the way the team paint was applied for Kodiaks. I'm not saying you're crazy; I might not have seen it, but I looked at all the screens and I didn't see anything wrong...
[quote who="WitchFire" reply="5" id="2101970"]Here's another short one, but it's self-contained, and I figured it'd help fight off the withdraw. The next update will, in all likelihood, be the end of this book. And I mean it this time. [/quote] AWESOME STORY!!! I love the imagery and depth. It seems like there are lots of great tacticians who just die in a last stand battle so it's hard to get lots of attachment for any character, but that's s
WHEN WE DECIDE WE HAVE ENOUGH WORK DONE Seriously, no mod can ever put a date on releases and if they do, it almost always has to be moved. I'll say this: we'll have the beta out within 5 years is we don't lose interest [e digicons];)[/e] . I'm not getting mad at you, just stating a simple fact about mods for the umpteen-millionth time.
There's not much to see really. To my knowledge all we have is the Phoenix-Class, Marathon-Class, Halcyon-Class, FFG-Class Frigate, Destroyer, SMAC platform, and Covenant Assault Carrier. I know that does seem like a lot, if you comapre to the large amount of ship and structure types in Sins it's relatively minor. Plus, the alpha is for team members to be on the same page while developing the mod. Don't worry, we should have the Beta out soon enough. If you really can't wait, get some modelli
No, I think Vasari is almost exactly like the Covenant. They're the aliens, they have the best mastery of FTL (slipspace, phase space), they both use plasma, they both have unconventional hull designs, they're both pretty warlike, etc. I'm guessing we'll have just the UNSC and Covenant and maybe non-playable flood for pirates or something.
Just go to youtube, I'm pretty sure they're all there. It's nice to know that there are other people working on the mod, despite any resistance they might be encountering [e digicons]:D[/e]
Oh, I see; then the team couldn't edit it. I guess we don't really need it due to the fact that we have a much more organized moddb page *hint hint*. http://www.moddb.com/mods/halo-sins-of-the-prophets
[quote who="Bigdog00" reply="10" id="2111143"] Quoting Dinoff, reply 8so prepair ship for ludacris speed!!!! Thats from Spaceballs. Ha Ha Ha. [/quote] That is why we need a new thread. Canada, if you're busy, would you ming me starting it? Just tell me everything I can't find out from the ModDb page and send me all the screens (yeah I know that kind of is a lot).
Seriously, stop asking. I'm barely involved with this but I've glanced at enough mods and in general have enough life experience with projects to say: we can't quantitate it yet! By the time we've made enough progress for it to be mentionable there'll be an update. That said, thank you for your concern and enthusiasm. It does (slightly) help us go faster.
Javelis has lower hull and shields by about 200 and 100 respectively (offhand estimation). Like Darvin said they cost crystal and take research to make. Plus, 1 supply isn't a huge difference unless you're building huge fleets (which is late game, so you'll probably be building more advanced units anyway).
All I [think I] know is that it won't be for 1.05. I guess we'll try to release it for the latest version at the time. [IMG]http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z262/Foam_Total_War/UNSCFrigateYardFront2.jpg[/IMG]
Yes, the mod will be for Vanilla Sins. Despite the benefits of Entrenchment, this is better because more people will be able to use it (including me) adn we don't have to make as many models [e digicons]:blush:[/e] .
Ok for one, I did try to read it all but after the first twenty pages it got a little annoying with all the random other stuff not about the mod, and plus I was really tired. I was not ordering you around, I was just voicing my opinion on the matter of 3d programs. I didn't even make the request you said was acceptable to switch over to Blender, I was just saying I liked it. No I can't do anything in XSI because I don't have it and I hear it's very expensive (not to mention I'm still just get
Umm guys...there's already a Halo mod for Sins on ModDb. http://www.moddb.com/mods/halo-sins-of-the-prophets Also, I don't know why Sketchup is so widely used when Blender is also free and so much more like the programs used for real animated movies and games (namely 3DS Max aka Autodesk). Still, I commend your efforts. If you need any help with creative or canon stu
Great story, I like the personifications of the Vasari and Advent in addition to TEC and how you have not just fighting but some politics and inner workings of the empires!
This one is a kind of patrol and cargo frigate with some fighting ability, but not designed for battles as it was before the war. These are actually from a partially formed custom "universe", but I thought I'd share them. Nowhere near done on either, but I probably never will be...

Amazing story WitchFire. Sorry for all you had to go through while people were pestering to keep writing. Keep it up, but go at your own pace! (and cut the TEC some slack, please [e digicons]:'([/e] )
Thanks. The absolute first thing I did when I got the game was update it to the most recent (1.5 I think it is?). I guess I'll try customer service, thinking about it though it doesn't seem like they'll be able to help =(
I know the exact same thing happens to me! I tried reading Monk's stuff about firewalls but multiplayer has never messed up on games before and plus it's just a little hard to understand. I also tried "contacting customer service", but they were of no help because I have absolutely no idea how to contact them (no tab on the website, tried searching with multiple different terms on Google, also nothing on the box or manual). Please help, this is one of the main reasons I bought the freaking th
