Hey there! Very cool ship, but this is NOT the Punic class. Non the less great job!

If I recall the Thermopylae preceded the Punic classes like the Trafalgar actually being named as such, so they were kinda filling a void, and then the Punic caught on a bit more before finally getting a canon design in Fleet Battles. I could be wrong though

i thought the Thermopylae WAS a Punic class supercarrier lol

The Thermopylae model was the precursor of sorts for this design and it borrows elements from it. I much prefer it because it's not so silly and tall looking

This looks more like a thermopylae, if thats's what you meant by the last sentence. But cool ship nontheless!

It's alright.

I'll admit I can't really be bothered to get back into the game because, for some reason, there's an issue that crippled my way of building and as far as I can tell I've not found a reason to fix it. Might also be burnt out.

As for how long, I think it took less than a week. I have a way of building things fairly fast but I also am a bit lazy about REALLY building things.

Jesus Christ how long did this build take?

or the grinder pre-activates and destroys the longsword early,,,

Can you fix the longsword printers? They always leave the longsword unfinished.

The big-ass hangar doors

*without

how i get in with out using a grinder?

That would be my newest Halberd-class destroyer model! https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1301180512

My Stalwart-class light frigates may also fit, but don't quote me on that

can someone link me to the ships that were desinged to fit in this ship?

Oh Keen, what'd you do this time... I have so damn many ships, though >:0

This appears to be an issue with almost all of your ships, their turrets are broken somehow. They are placed next to where the conveyors for them are and if the ship takes damage they fall off. You may need to reupload the ships or something, I'm not sure.

and the work you did on it MrEvan. one of my favorite's thus far. :3

Without a doubt.

Mr Evan. lets be honest here. the non cannon LOOKS WAY BETTER than cannon.

ok be sure to look into it

"NOTE: While canonical itself, the design of this ship is based on a non-canon design featured in the Sins of the Prophets mod for Sins of a Solar Empire."

There is a "canon" design featured in the tabletop game Halo: Fleet Battles by Spartan Games, which worked to make the game with 343, but I feel that design is more suited asthetically to a cargo vessel while this one looks more like a dedicated, heavy-hitting warship.

evan where didc you get the design
ITS AMAZING

In the pictures? Those are Halberd-class Destroyers. I may need to update the design, it currently can carry just Halberd-class Destoyers but I think it can also carry Stalwart-class frigates.

Which of your frigates have you used as the escorts?

Thanks! A spaceball uses a little more resources than an artificial mass block, but less than an artmass+power source combo, so it's a little cheaper. I used to have the projector set on a rotor and used a grinder to grind the bullet free. That system fired literally just the ball itself. These projectiles are probably as cheap and simple as it gets.

I scrapped and replaced that system to eliminate the problem of subgrids, which makes construction a good deal harder.

That's awesome. Makes sense to avoid the need for a battery.

Spaceballs also have variable mass, turning it up to the max (2 tons) makes it a pretty hard hitting projectile at high speed.

I used a spaceball because it can propel the projectile with the gravgens without the need to have an artificial mass block, which requires a power source to work. I was aiming for simplicity and a compact design.

For the forward cannon ammo, I noticed that in addition to the warhead, you've added a 'space ball' as well. I'm curious why a 'space ball'? I've never used space balls before as ammo for a gravity gun... sorry this is Halo I need to be more accurate... MAC cannon. :)

Thank you! Her interior might need a bit more work and detail, and I'll have a new machine soon so I can finally work on it again. Altogether, though, I love how she turned out.

amazing work!

Drat. That system was done somewhat hastily, so I'm sure I cocked up something. I'll revisit it when I can get back on.

they land pretty well though

they get cuaght on the merge block, i think to fix it you just move the merge block up on block on the lifeboat mount, and itll work fine.

How do they not work, do they not detach? Do they not land properly? Those things were being a serious pain in the ass, you might just need to change the deploy height of the chutes.

Figures.

the lifeboats dont work.

Sad about the Sphere, but with the halo ring that depends on the varriant, One from the Greater Ark would be 30,000km which at 1:10 would be 30km, One from the Lesser Ark (Installation 00) that one would only be 10,000km which at 1:10 would be 10km

The Dyson Sphere? From what I've seen it's basically a hollowed asteroid with large corridors, rooms, and a very large center sphere with gravity and small biomes. Definitely too small to encompass even the smallest planet. I'd like to see a Halo ring at 1:10, which would have about 3km width and be about 30km across?

Will it be able to emcompass a small moon or planet or will it just have an artifical star at its center?

Not sure, he's using an import to make it. It's got a fairly sizeable interior able to move small ships in and out. The size issues are mostly because Midspace's importer has issues and takes forever to import large objects.

A dyson sphere, how big are we talking?

Actually, there's a guy making an actual 3km wide voxel ring at some point when he's done with his Dyson spheres.

Alright then, how about you make your own version of a Halo ring, i've seen a few on the workshop and they are impressive

POA: No, I don't think I'll make Infinity. I don't like the ship design, it's huge even at 1:10.

It can be tricky, sadly the actual ground vehicles are a lot harder even with small grid, but 1:10 is not to bad given that Halo ships are absolutely enormous! Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

It's incredible how you keep all of your ships to scale! Awesome work!
