shame.
that would be so awesome. having UNSC ships and covenant ships duking it out

Why wouldn't a Halo mod work? It's just adding new ships. If a Halo mod wouldn't work than why would a starwars or Babylon 5 mod work? Halo's almost the same, just not geeky.

I guess it would be possible, although it wouldn't really be all that easy, since Halo has focused primarily on ground combat, which is nearly absent in Galciv 2.
That said, it would be possible. Since we've seen so few ships, you would need people to mostly design new parts that follow the design philosophy the races show in the halo games. The problem is, at the moment people haven't really taken to parts design nearly as much as they have for total ship redesign. I think it is a huge, huge, shame, but that's the way it is. The flood might be kind of fun to make, though. What I'd do, if I was designing a Halo mod, is redo the tech tree so that colonization modules don't appear in the tech tree, but are given to the two conventional races. Then, I'd make several flood only combat oriented branches for the tech tree, since they are excellent at ground combat and at retrofitting other race's technology. Basically, getting started as the flood would be real tough, but as they spread they become a real big danger.

Actually, now that I think about it, this could be a really cool mod.

Covenant battlecruisers would look very slick in this game

a halo mod whould be cool and you chould play around with it a bit and make it fit you choudl have cov earth pirates and forerunner and fllod races

Im making a halo conversion sofar I have three ring worlds made and 11 playble races,I know 11 races? well the only way a halo mod would work would be if the covent where to breakup.Because there are 9 covent races sofar and two minor ones trust me I looked there will be new techs new event movies but no ships there are not enough ship models to make it a total conversion.

Actually its possible. there are many types some we have seen in the game others u gotta read the books for a description here ill list the types of ships for ya.

UNSC:
UNSC Traflagar (super carrier) only one was built.
UNSC destroyer Iroquois
UNSC Halcyon Class Pillar of Autumn (Light Cruiser
UNSC Marathon Class (Heavy Cruiser)
UNSC Forward Unto Dawn (frigate)
UNSC In Amber Clad (frigate)
There are more ill update upon finding i gotta scrounge through some on line resources, This game can be made into a mod VERY easily, but im new at this game so i will not even atempt for i will not bring justice to it.
the basic sizes are as follows in the CCS fleets-
Assault Carrier
Carrier
Assault Cruiser
Cruiser
Destroyer
Frigate
Corvette
we have seen all types in the game belive it or not. my internet is just giving me problems or i would look into it more. all co venant ships look the same except corvettes they use a circular design. (one of the halo 2 maps was inside a CCS Corvette) also forerunners as a race the flood as one. hell u can make the rebel faction of humans as a race. then theres the elites. you can also be creative and make all the races of the covenant as seperate races according to their abbilities with the ships looking the same. This CAN be done. and im sad to see that its not. the flood idea. heres an idea. they spread by transports and if one flood controlled ship gets into combat on a planet they absorb the population if they have enough bc. they should be less effective in space battles but much much more effective in ground battles. UNSC should be VERY effetive at ground battles more so then the covenant but their defense should be sorely lacking yety their attack should be superior. (balance) and the covenant should have a higher production rate and better defenses but be the worst ground fighters out of the big three. the make up for it in numbers transports should be cheaper and hold more troops. well w/e i gave quite a bit of info. ill look for more and let ya know. hopefully a modder will make one for halo =/

And finally the covenant ships hell i even found the length of the ships >.<

The names, and types of ships aren't particularly important. The names in game will be arbitrary, and will be the same as the ships currently available (scout ship, etc). That could be modded, but you'll want overall ship names or every ship of that style will be "UNSC Chalons" for example, which isn't appropriate. It's obvious that there has to be a full fleet of ships in the Halo Universe, but what can be accurately taken from the games is still small. I haven't read the books. Too "geeky" for me.   But, they offer no visual representations of the ships. Perhaps descriptions or cover art, but that's up for interpretation. I don't remember off-hand, but in game there are about 20 or so ships slots (for different designs), and then a few more for the colony ship, survey, etc. You can get away with less designs, but the point still stands.

The ships in the books might help, but they'll still be the artists creation if applied to the mod. And again, the ship's length or it being a destroyer doesn't matter as much for the mod, it just determines where it gets placed when assigning a new ship style, and complaints for people to make for relative scale.

Also, with GC2's memory allocation, new ship models can push the system to the limit quickly. I'm attempting now to make the game play as nicely as possible with custom models, but even running the 1.7 beta, it's still very easy for me to get to that 2gb limit. It's definitely better than 1.6, but still a prevalent problem for me. More ship models = more memory, which more than likely = memory crash.

but i see your point the problem is memory allocation. im pretty sure id play with toned down UNSC and Covie ships and still be happy

well actually... Im not making a Halo mod... I just posted these Halo inspired ships here.

Notably I used the game's ship customizer... those were made with the existing jewelry.
