Halberd-class Destroyer (Vanilla)

Description
The Halberd-class destroyer is a heavy escort classification in the UNSC Navy. It is best suited to direct ship combat and assaults.

History
The Halberd is a surprisingly capable ship. With thick armor, plenty of guns and missiles, and speed on par with frigates, all packed into a sleek hull barely longer than a Stalwart-class light frigate. Destroyers are often the first ships to engage the enemy and can take on Covenant cruisers in small groups. The Halberd's impressive armament and speed allowed UNSC Iroquois to perform the famous Keyes Loop maneuver, taking out three Covenant ships all far bigger than itself.

Armament
2 Rocket Launchers - 6 Missile Turrets - 4 Gatling Turrets

Tactics
When fielded in larger numbers, Halberd Destroyers can work with cruisers to focus fire on the larger Covenant cruisers and carriers, or protect them from Frigates and strike craft.

Tactics
Marathons perform best when used alongside other cruisers, use their firepower to cover the other ships of the fleet while tougher ships absorb most of the damage.

This ship is 1:10 scale. It is 100% heavy armor construction and is not rated for atmosphere.

Now that would be fun.

Ha, understandable. The Punic's supposed to be about 10x bigger too, my 1:10 series was meant to be somewhat reasonable.

I want to do a 1:50 or maybe 1:25 series some day to work with Rdav's fleet mechanics so we can have Halo combat on a larger scale.

I discovered that I can't actually use the Punic, as I can barely run a ship of 30 PCU and still function semi-normally. 113k would fry the game.

Ok. Thanks.

I think they would both fit, though.

The new one. I would've replaced this one with the new version but didn't for two reasons: I didn't have the heart to erase this one AND I put so much work and love into the new model that I wanted to see if it would get on the shop front :D

Which version does the Punic use?

Alright guys, this baby underwent such a drastic reworking I published it as a new ship (don't have the heart to delete this one) so come check it out http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1301180512

Heads up, MASSIVE overhaul inbound in the next day or so. It will massively improve appearance, armament, and will completely do away with rotors.
