Halo Mod

[Enterprisemaster]

I posted this idea about a month ago and it didn't get much responce. I'm trying to spark new intrest by posting this aswell as the attached document which contains the stuff that needs to be changed. I can't mod or code or anything really that's why I need help. However for any facts or information about Halo you can ask me.

An interesting idea, sort of steam-punk-meets-Star-Trek.

Definitely NOT keen on one shot kill weapons such as the proposed orbital guns and nuclear mines. Perhaps a more playable approach would be to lower the damage of the weapons but up the firing rate effectively turning the heavy cannon into a sort of space based mini-gun. I never really got into B5 but that's how I understand a lot of their weapons were depicted.

Ok I can get that most people don't like one hit kill weapons and that can be changed however ythat is partly what makes Halo Halo. Taken right out the book., a battle with 300 covenant ships vs 100 human ships and 20 orbital MACs only took two ours from the covenant ships arriving in system to the point where the covenant won and bombarded the local planet with plasma. All in all Halo ship battle rarely take very long.

to quote the first halo book

blue flashes strobed from the ship....the deadly flashes of light impacted on the side of the destroyer Arabia, splashed across it's hull. It's meter of armor plating instantly boiled away.

His blood ran cold. He had seen battles in which a covenant destroter had made swiss cheese of UNSC shipss. It's plasma tropedoes could boil trough the Iroquois' two meters of titanium-A battle plate in seconds

One covenant cruiser at at the center of the pack, a gigantic vessel, larger than three UNSC cruisers. Whit-blue beams flashed from it's prow-a split second later five UNSC vessles detonated.

I kinda screwed up on the mines...I was tired...anyway this is the scene I got them from, make your own jugments on what damge they should be:

Four nuclear mines detonated in the center of the covenant fleet. Dozens of ships with downed ships flared white and dissolved. The other ships however, shrugged of the damage; their sheilds burned briliant silver, then cooled. The remaining covenant ships advanced in-system, a third of their number left behind... burning radioactive hulks or utterly destroyed by the Super MAC rounds.
