pillar of autumn

01-11-2003, 23:24
I have begun production on the pillar of autumn and would like any nation to help. Although this isn’t a huge project I would like help so I won’t be referred to as a godmoder. Stats to this ship would be incredible helpful if you have them.
Any nation building Halo based products please post.

Central Facehuggeria doesn't deal in halo products, but we do enjoy the halo books and games.

The P.O.A. had a single advanced MAC that could fire three times before requiring a recharge. It also had several (8 I think) Archer missile pods, and concealed 50mm (or was that 30?) autocannons for point defense. Its engine was a standard fusion engine except that it had two tertiary reactors that could provide a signifigant burst of power. The reactors were cooled with some system involving chilled ions. That is all I can remember off hand without reading The Fall of Reach again. Hope it helps.

""He could see armored ports, heavily reinforced...almost solid titanium A. Honeycombed through out were the round covers of Archer missle pods. Keyes counted 30 across, ten down.
...noticed concealed and recessed 50mm autocannons...
..3 longswords...

i think developing MAC cannons by themselves are good enough, but having the "super mac" of the P.O.A. would be quite impressive. well, now my R&D has something to do :)
