Wouldnt it be cool to have a Halo Shipset?

I'm thinking Halo mod. but would microsoft allow it?

Oh am I wrong or does that big ship (is that the pillar of autum, or something) look like the ships in homeworld?
SEV, more than a feeling.

Would rather have a shipset from the Alien's series...

I never really noticed any real resemblance between the Halo and Homeworld ships other than some from both are taller than they are wide.

Ships from the Aliens serious would be neat.
The dropship could either be a basis for the fighters, or as boarding pods or landing pods or whatever other 'pods' might be used to move something from point A to point B.

Might also be neat so see the Troop based on that huge APC thing.

But as with Halo, it comes into the realm of doing stuff with the IPs of others...

Knowing Microsoft I would say unlikely.

Groovy Baby Yeah!

I must be in the minority who simply could not care less about Halo. I wouldn't know a Halo shipset from a standard customized shipset if my life depended upon it.

So maybe you would think a Halo shipset would be cool. Me, I couldn't care less about the idea.

M$ thinks differently... There was that group of moders making a Halo Mod for a RTS game and M$ stomped on them. . . Cant remember the RTS that the mod was for.

I can see why someone might not like both genres. These two games are pretty different. FPS and 4X. Played halo3 last night, got my blood pumping and couldn't get to sleep! But I love SEV also, get's you thinking longterm stratagie.

SEV, more than a feeling.

I just played Halo 3 with a friend a few hours ago. (campaign coop, dual Spikers vs. Flood, friend had the flamethrower, total mayhem.)

There would be a few problems with a Halo shipset...
Thinking back to Halo 1 and 2, and Halo 3, I have seen only 2-3 few human ship types (Pillar of Autum type, In Amber Clad/Dawn type, one that got blown to bits in Halo 2 when Master Chief 'left the station'...)and 2-3 Covenant ship types (the regular one, the command carrier, possibly a third type but unsure).

Well, Thats good to know he released it. Lost track of it after he got hit by M$.

There are lot more examples of Halo ships in the Cut Scenes from Halo 3. Read some where there was a planed Tech of Halo book, Kinda Like the Tech of Starwars books. If that ever dose become a reality, It will probably have pic's of the ship types.

Nightmare Armor , They asked M$ if they could sell armor based on the Mjolnir that the Spartans wore in the Halo Universe. Which M$ thought it would be a good for marketing, and gave them the OK. And it only runs around $2,000 for a full suit last time I checked, which was a wile ago.

This is an entirely different scenario. A FPS mod is a direct competitor to the Halo games. Whether or not it is distributed freely it still infringes on Microsoft's IP. However, MS hasn't made any 4X space games based on the Halo universe, so a mod or a shipset isn't going to be a problem.

As i said i dont really give a **** what M$ thinks! Im making a Halo mod now and ive made a few for SEIV as well. I need a ship set right now!!!!!!! I already have the covies, there stock ukra tal and even have the race portrait for prophets! M$ never does anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

umm how do i email microsoft about copyrights and trademarks???

The first step is to use only single punctuation marks in your sentences. MS Legal will probably ignore your email if it's formatted anything like these posts.

hehe

actually.... they respond to just about anything (once they show you a magic email us link! ) and when i dont rush i type regularly, i DO speak english.... GO AMERICA!!!!! *dances*

I'll be posting them soon to SEV.net under the title of DarkTerrans, feel free to kitbash the models since anyone could duplicate the image in a modeler program (Like I did).

YAY are they in a empire folder already?

I haven't set up a shipXfile.txt file for SEV yet, still sizing and doing inventory slots. I should have it out by the end of the week if all goes well. You can see some of them over on SEV.net forums in the Battlestar Mod area, new unit or dark terran topic (can't remember which).

i love the colonials KILL THE TOASTERS

can you put a link?

You'll have to scroll down some since it was an open idea chain that lead to the HALO idea.

TY

can you put a download for it?

A "Space Above and Beyond" shipset/s would be cool as well.

Loyalty above all else except honor.

I have the hammerhead fighter done, may add that to another shipset. Space: Above and Beyond didn't have much in the way of cap ships, just the Saratoga, no escorts or heavy line ships. Would leave allot to the imagination...

short answer...no

not everyone loves halo, sure I played the original at a friends place back in the day, but I dont own a console, I just have a pc and I didnt go head over heals for it...heh Stargate/Stargate Atlantis would be a fun mod to play if you could set to AI to build hive ships mainly and darts...the stargates would be hard to work into the game...but now that the warp drive scripting is fixed it opens up the realm of maybe...ps BSG mod look pimpIN I want it

hehe i stole a few things from stargate for this mod, thenew movie was awesome. The forerunner techtree is full ofunbalanced stuff from othher shows and games, suchas asgard b eam weapons, and railguns.

I haven't tried HALO on the Xbox (except in stores, I like to feed-back controller though...), just the HALO combat evolved for PC. I'm not much of a first person shooter, mainly strat and 4X.

Wait till I get the AI using the FTL drives, BSG mod will really take off then. Swarms of raiders hitting colonies with hit and run jump in jump out tactics...

you rock, not much more to say...

true

For whoever decides to make this eventually, if anyone, pls remember to give UNSCC lots of armor spaces and covenant very few.

Over at SpaceEmpire.net http://home.spaceempires.net/downloads-cat-37.html in the download section is the slotmodder, pretty self explanatory. I'll post what I have over at my filefront site http://hosted.filefront.com/IsoPsyco. I might be able to finish up the HALO set (remember I call it DarkTerran). The HALO specific ones from the game are mainly troops and fighters, the ships are an attempt to extrapolate from the one capital ship they showed

I've uploaded the HALO aka DarkTerran shipset to my filefront site (http://hosted.filefront.com/IsoPsyco/), its rough in the textures on some of the ships and troops due to getting it out as soon as I could. I'll continue to update the set when time permits. Its a workable shipset so feel free to use it.
