Halcyon-class Light Cruiser (Vanilla)

Description
The Halcyon-class light cruiser is a light capital ship classification in the UNSC Navy. It is best suited to frontline combat.

History
The Halcyon-class was designed by Reyes-Mclees shipyards and is a dinosaur compared to most "modern" cruisers. Its reactors are barely enough to properly power it with all systems on, it is slow, unmaneuverable, and has a light armament for its size. However what defines the Halcyon is its durability; the ship's unique design allows it to take a large amount of damage and keep moving. This internal superstructure design also came at great cost, later variants used standard superstructure which made the ship lighter and cheaper at the cost of durability.

Armament
1 Rocket Launcher - 6 Missile Turrets - 4 Gatling Turrets - 3 Strikecraft Slots - 1 Interior Defense Turret

Tactics
Halcyons are tough but slow. They perform best when used alongside other cruisers, absorbing most of the damage to protect more fragile ships.

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

Is that a Marathon Class Heavy Cruiser in the last picture?

You have to edit the BP's thumbnail, so you can do whatever you want to it. I put the text in with MS Paint, you can also use photoshop gimp or anything else.

Yes. Still, just play with thruster damage off.

So will there be a remake of this ship that isnt torn apart by itself?
MrEvan312  [author] 4 Jun, 2018 @ 8:22pm 
Yes. It's not the same for all builders but I personally believe having external thrusters pointing all directions outwards looks horrible. That may change when I get the weapons complete and use some different kinds of thrusters.

The ship kills itself... Does thruster damage have to be turned off for this ship to work for at least a somewhat lenghty duration of time?

There's no reason that should be happening. Hopefully, it's not the result of Keen's hotfix or the last minor update. They're back to breaking more than they improve.

Funny you mention making a Halo ring using voxels and such as when I can get back into Space Engineers I plan to attempt a small scale Halo ring station (as a full scale version which is 10,000 km in diameter would lag/crash the game) with asteroids interspersed around the inner surface to allow for the placement of voxels. The only challenge will be finding a way to pressurize the surface, a somewhat easier thing I'm going to try doing is partially hollow out a section under the surface of a earthlike planet and turn it into a shield world like Requiem, Onyx, or that one we see in the Halo Wars campaign.
