Well, it finally happened- my Halo starship scale chart has exceeded 100,000 pageviews and still growing. I was hoping to have an update ready or start on some of the revolutionary changes I proposed a while back but I guess they will have to wait as I have other imediate projects to finish and also some serious changes to my employment to work through over the next couple of weeks.

Took em long enough, although the movie might still come further down the road this will have to satisfy us for now, this will be developed in conjunction with the new Xbox 1's tv functionality- www.wired.com/underwire/2013/0…

The upside to this idea over a movie (provided they are somewhat based on the books) is that for eg a movie of the fall of reach- a lot of good material would have to be dropped to fit inside a 2 hour+ on screen epic wheras a tv series could stretch to encompass the whole book and perhaps add more and each book or even the games to be formatted into a season, it s more likely however that they wiil start a completely original story thay on occasion will touch on the games and books memorable moments, good way to avoid the diehard halo fans crying foul if some core game/book story element is altered to serve the tv shows plot.

Well it has been a while since my last journal and as my first of 2013 I will be making further updates to the Halo scale chart and not just the minor additions like the Mantle's Approach or the Covenant super cruiser but also to begin improving upon the layout and ship tags and also at some point down the line give some detail to the ships and not just to the canon ones but the ships that I've only visualized in my head or on a few rough sketches like the Forerunner Builder ship or the UNSC Assault Carrier, this should give a better understanding for the reasons behind the design and try to move away from the mysterious black silhouettes I've been using for so long.
HALO SHIP SCALE CHART UNSC,COV by D4RKST0RM99

A surprising reappearance of a true expert when it comes to the scale of the Halo universe as Stephen Loftus has released an update to his scale charts, originally depicting only objects found in Halo CE, 2, and 3, the update includes additions from ODST, Wars and Reach but excluding Halo 4 and all the novels, his work was posted on Waypoint here-blogs.halowaypoint.com/post/20…  with a link to the Bungie.org page here- halo.bungie.org/misc/sloftus_s…. You can see what inspired me to create my own in the beginning.

And now on a similar vein here is a glimpse of some of the recent work done on Halo mod of the Sins of a Solar Empire game Sins of the Prophets available on MOD DB- www.moddb.com/news/fireside-ch…, I was really impressed with this MOD's scale chart at the bottom of the page though some of the models  may have been reduced in size to fit better in the game (Infinity may be a less than likely inclusion). A beta version of the Mod is available if anyone has a copy of the Sins game should give it a try, also the person responsible for modeling and texturing those beautiful UNSC ships can be found here on DA- annihilater102.deviantart.com/ please check out his work.

Hope to have something finished soon.

HALO 4RGE

3 min read
UPDATED-
The return of Forge World has come with some interesting improvements, magnets to properly align the pieces and the "copy" tool appear the most useful. I'm currently in the process of revamping the Reach ship builds for Halo 4 now entirely 'Mod' free thanks to the additions to the forge library.
As soon as I can get access to my file share I can show off some of my new maps, in the mean time here's my current progress-


FINISHED-
UNSC PARIS CLASS FRIGATE
HALCYON
MARATHON
CHARON CLASS
UNSC SMAC STATION

IN PROGRESS-

UNSC CORVETTE 70%
UNSC INFINITY 20%  (MOD)
UNSC CARRIER 40%  (MOD)
STATION FERMION 20%
UNSC SUPER HEAVY CRUISER 80%  (MOD)

PLANNED-
ANCHOR 9
and more


Also still to update the UNSC, COVENANT, FORERUNNER SCALE CHART, with improvements and additions from Halo 4.

Stay tuned.

The function of this Journal will be to hold the majority of the Halo Scale Chart's details so to reduce the clutter on its main page.

Update 10-
My first for 2012, with this version I've updated and removed some of the ships, additions include the UNSC Infinity and other Halo 4 and Glasslands ships  the Tiara as well as reach station Gamma and Damascus station, also added more detail to the aging relic that is the Forerunner Fortress class Deep Reverence as the majority of its weapons and defensive systems have been removed when it was decommissioned. I've made a small selection of Insurrectionist ships like the Eridanus Secundus Asteroid base and the Rubble Habitat but their isn't enough room and I may add them to a separate chart.

Update 09-
With this update I give you 2 Precursor ships and a suped up version of the Forerunner builder ship(still thinking it needs to be bigger) the Precursor flood facility would be my idea of the flood's origin linked to the automated transports mentioned in Halo: Cryptum, this facility manned by a single hard light precursor hologram/AI tested the flood on several species to push the limits of their potential combat abilities and accelerate their infection capability, all of this potential would be locked away in the form of a fine white powder inert and harmless until activated.
The builder ship was in dire need of an upgrade, needed to have the look of something capable of building planets and stars and still big enough to do it.

Update 08-
Three more from the Halo Cryptum book, the section depicting the Forerunner attack of a San 'Shyuum quarantine world, the planet's defense force described as several ships in varying sizes and design, the battle cruiser as their attempted equal to the forerunner warships, the smaller support ships(similar in function to UNSC Frigates) and an unusually designed transport seen attempting to flee the sieged planet with an anti gravity propulsion array resembling a jellyfish. I'm considering whether to include the Master Builder's security fleet as they may just be the already depicted forerunner warships.

Update 07-
Additional Forerunner ships, I have now also reached the page size limit allowed so wont be able to add much more in future.

Update 06-
I've corrected the size of the Covenant Super cruiser from Fall of reach added the Didact's cruiser from Halo Cryptum.

Update 05-
So soon after the last update some corrections additions and changes,I've added-
the covenant Battle station Unyielding Heirophant from Halo First Strike, a possible variant of the Marathon class UNSC Everest (Admiral Cole's Flagship), also added a Forerunner Flagship to help fill in the ranks. For changes I made the UNSC Super carrier a little bigger and the Covenant's a little smaller, I've made the text larger and spaced things out a little more.
I've certainly pushed the limits of my laptops RAM as this is the largest image I've posted.

Update 04-
Never thought this would work, I've extended the sides of the page to fit the full Covenant Super Carrier and also the the Forerunner ships. Other additions include the UNSC's Light Destroyer Las Vegas and Callisto Corvette, also divided the the UNSC Frigate into the Reach and Earth versions and also a version of the scaffold for larger UNSC ships.
Have to say this wasn't easy, several times in its creation I got the "NOT ENOUGH MEMORY" warning for all the additions I was making but I got there in the end.

Update 03-
I've updated the Spirit of Fire added the Kig Yar ships from Contact Harvest, the UNSC Han diplomatic shuttle and also the standard Covenant Cruiser that appears to have a set of varied sizes,also in future considering reworking the UNSC Battle cruiser as well as some of the larger non canon Cov Capital ships.

Update 02-
(post Halo Reach)- Revised a few more items, organized it a little, also corrected some mistakes e.g. both the Cov corvette and UNSC orbital scaffold size and shape. I've also added Halo Reach's version of the Pillar of Autumn as best I could.

Update 01-
I've corrected some of the mistakes and added some more ships, the Ascendant Justice has an unclear classification and so have left it in its own class and with that I included the Ascendant Justice/Gettysburg Hybrid vessel from First Strike, also the Infinite Succor- Agricultural Support ship, a little more accurate cov battleship and some slight changes to the Super Carrier.
