Sins of the Prophets

It has been over a year since the release of v0.90 Warlords, and what a year it has been. In the span of time since that last update quite a lot has happened, all during an ongoing pandemic, and we would like to finally delve into what we have been up to! moddb.com/mods/halo-sins…

@HashionDiscord We don't publish our assets in 3D viewers, because unfortunately people tend to rip the files from them; however, we do provide orthographic and perspective renders for all our assets as reference material for anyone that wants to use them.

@SinsOfProphets is there a way someone could view the 3D models for thse ships outside of the mod, I've been wanting to build one in minecraft

𝗨𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗗𝗮𝘄𝗻 The Charon-class Light Frigate is one of SinoViet's premiere frigate classes, with a focus on transporting and supporting ground forces in addition to its role as a fleet escort ship.

𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 An innovation of the 2530s, the Anansi-class frigate was engineered by SinoViet Heavy Industries in conjunction with Chalybs Defense Solutions as part of an initiative aimed at finding counters to Covenant plasma weaponry.

While this endeavor did not pan out as initially hoped, the frigates did gain an important role in the fleet as electronic warfare and support ships, screening the fleet and interfering with the Covenant's ability to maintain accurate targeting and cohesion.

𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 The Stalwart-class Light Frigate is a fleet escort ship in the UNSCN, with a particular emphasis on air-defence. It boasts a massive complement of Bulwark point-defence guns and Streak intercept missiles for fending off small craft and missiles.

𝗔 𝗣𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀 Entering service in 2523, the Paris-class Heavy Frigate quickly became distinguished and prominently saw action throughout the Covenant War. They would go on to become some of the most frequently fielded frigates, some surviving to the post-war era.

𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗮𝘆𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗻𝘀 The smallest in the UNSC's line of carriers, the Ankara-class is first and foremost an assault troop transport ship, with utility as a convoy escort. Its air wing is primarily composed of dropships and orbit-to-surface heavy lift vehicles.

𝗗𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗲 Introduced in 2433, the Diligence-class was originally a line of patrol cruisers famous across the colonies flanked by missile frigates. In 2486 they were subject to a series of mid-life refits, augmenting their armor protection and firepower.

𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 Introduced in 2549, the Winter-class is the latest addition to ONI's roster of prowler stealth ships. It is the smallest prowler in the fleet at 82m in length, nearly twice that of their "subprowler" cousins.

@GoingNowhere117 We have plans to publish a team maintained public wiki, that will include all the corresponding lore, specs, and gameplay stats/details for every ship. Right now though, there's nothing besides what we publish in lore articles or posts.

@SinsOfProphets Is there a fan site for the specifications of these new ships you guys are making. Like length, mass, weapons etc?

These ships proved vital during the Insurrection, where decades of preparation for a peer conflict were swept aside in favor of bitter counterinsurgencies. In this capacity, Ankaras could augment larger carrier battlegroups and free up larger assets for more vital deployments.

@RMalvania Don't worry, we've got plenty more stealth where this brick came from. The Kronstadt was used in a role that really should have gone to a prowler, but the dead prophet along the way made up for that.

@SinsOfProphets UNSC Kronstadt represent! Somehow, she was one of the best damn stealth ships in the fleet. I love her to bits.

@SinsOfProphets Thanks for continuing working on this. I was just playing SotP and it’s fun as ever!

@CaptainKeyesPoA The Resolute and Diligence were the same, but we pivoted the designs to be separate. Both are T0 starters, but the Dili is unique to Cole. It has better pre-refit DPS with the Spitfire, eventually getting 2 light MACs significantly raising its alpha damage potential, plus armor.

@SinsOfProphets Awesome design! Given its similarities in purpose to your original Resolute (which was initially meant to be the Diligence class) what separates the two in SOTP gameplay wise?
