The distinguishing trait of the Halcyon is its incredible toughness. Due to a network of honeycombed Titanium-A bracings throughout the frame of the ship, a Halcyon can sustain nearly thrice the damage of any other UNSC Cruiser. There have been reports of Halcyons functioning even with 98% damage to the hull and breaches on all decks. The Autumn was heavily modified with a prototype reactor system, allowing for nearly 300% power increase for over five minutes without overheat, a new MAC, which, using a special magnetic recovery system, could fire three successive shots with one burst. Model created with GMAX.

The missiles aren't important, since the reason for its creation is the use in a mod of Starwars: Galactic Battlegrounds, and that game doesn't allow for multiple weapon systems on a ship.

Elite Pirate Posts: 529 Group: Members Member #264 Joined: May 6, 2005	Oh, I know how, I just don't think I have an art program adequate enough to create the textures.

Omega Pirate Posts: 1,068 Group: Members Member #119 Joined: February 13, 2005	That was a pretty big bump back there >_> Yes, some do it in Paint, but I know a better way that alot of people do: draw it. I've run across many models which use scanned textures, and they look really good. All you need to do is scan it, resize it, and touch it up a bit in Paint. Course, it's kind of hard with hi-res detail, but it's a start.

Elite Pirate Posts: 529 Group: Members Member #264 Joined: May 6, 2005	Great. Now I just have to learn how to paint better. Were I to do that, I would have to get ahold of Photoshop; nothing less would do for touching up a texture, most certainly not something as primitive as MSPaint.

MS Paint is good for everything, given that you have the skills to use it. I've touched up scanned images plenty of times in Paint.
