Something that rhymes with "Harris Class Frigate"

[Madman198237]

Amazing. Absolutely amazing. So, have you decided what role the ship is going to play?

 

[Anubis Evo]

Nope- I have no idea. I'm attempting to make it as canon as I can so maneuverability and speed will be a large portion of the systems. and it will obviously have point defense systems too, but those are one of the "video game-isms" where they exist but don't exist if you know what I mean so that will be up to me as to where they go and how they'll look around the ship.

 

[Madman198237]

The word is "canon", not cannon. Just so you know

Depends on what sort of PDTs you're working with. In Halo, it's cannon. Most certainly.

 

[HorribleHedgehog]

Downright spectacular. I have no criticism to offer.

 

[Madman198237]

There are two essential pieces of criticism to be offered, actually: "There's not enough PICTURES!" and "It's not done yet!"

 

[Anubis Evo]

I figured that I could share a picture of the arms that i've been working on. was a little ambitious about trying to get the hangars built and in retrospect I probably should have started with something else... if things don't seem to fit though its easy enough to trim or add blocks.

also, shout-out to the Halo Wiki page on the remembrance class frigate for pictures and fun facts. Save me research time on the daily.

I'll try to post more pictures if that's what the people want. But I find tiny pieces keep the appetite wanting more

 

[Anubis Evo]

Just need to add logic and turrets on the arms and that will finish those up. but that's gonna wait till the rest of the ship is done.

Is that supposed to be a Saber fighter or something near the engines?

Yeah, I saw recently that someone had made a saber and put it on the dock for download. It's a pretty well done saber too and I was curious how it would fit in the hangars. I just have it and the pelican I made sitting down there in case I need them or for measurements.

Not that its really time for it yet, but does anyone have ideas on what I should use as the MAC weapon? was thinking a Hulk missiles but I honestly don't know...

more eye candy

Hmm. Obviously the closest lore-wise would be a cannon/pulse array. That won't kill many block though so perhaps the same but in a waffle arrangement to punch a 20 x 20 hole in something. Massive dumbfire missiles...missile pulse is too slow. Maybe 50% pulse multi warhead array? I have similar death "cannon" on my hunter thats a big 10 million damage missile/beam job. perhaps a logic powered missile repeater?

As far as lore goes, I know on the bottom "prong" we'll call it, it launches huge missiles out of it which I think would be neat to make logic torpedoes launch from there. The top is where the MAC resides and I really like the idea for the waffle pattern weapon firing one volley which we'll just make believe is a slug. But I know that cannon-pulse have huge power requirements and it's worse when you fire multiple weapons from one computer at the same time. So would a simple cannon and modifier be better or maybe cannon-beam?

As a side note about weapons, can guided missiles be fired using logic? I would think not since you have to acquire the lock but I don't know for sure.. :/

Only dumb fire and heatseekers work properly with logic.

Good to know. Thanks Thadius

Wow, stunning work! Will you upload to the dock for people to play with?

I'll probably upload it once I finish it and it's interior. I know there are a lot of halo fans and it'll be a good ship for RP as well

What? That's not true at all. The top "prong" is the MAC, and the bottom prong doesn't really serve a function per say; it is mostly filled with sensors and antennae. Not to mention, the UNSC mainly uses only two missiles, M58 Archers and Shiva Thermonuclear Missiles. Archers fire from the small tetrahedron shaped pods and Shivas were either mounted on fighters or fired from small internal launchers because they aren't actually very big.

There's no huge-ass missile in Halo canon as far as I know.

As for what weapon to use for the weapons I'd go with a Cannon/Beam/Ion for the MAC and then Missile/Missile/Explosive for the Archers. That would match canon most closely, as MACs were generally used to drop shields and if the target wasn't destroyed outright swarms of archers would finish them off. You could also go Cannon/Beam/Pierce if you just want a super high damage shot that breaks through a huge number of blocks.

 

[jontyfreack]

They have up to three shiva missiles that are launched from the base of the lower prong, where it meets the main hull.

The lower prong is primarily used for targeting for the MAC and for long distance communications, and to provide some extra armour.
