User:Sev40/Sandbox and Reminders

Better follow the trend. This is where I catalog all the stuff I plan to do, such as lost interests reminders, images, unused names and finally random ideas for articles.

Sev 'Ikavowattinrzo

 * Need to make up many, many more missions for him, especially regarding the early part of the Human-Covenant war (Harvest to Kingston) Or, how about instead making more of those missions which damage his mental state. Atm it seems like he got damaged by his success.
 * Redo Physical Attributes and Death, possibly Legacy could do with a bit of work too
 * Continue with his post-war use as an ONI special weapon

Faded Guardsmen

 * More pictures
 * Training
 * History
 * Equipment
 * Think of other ways to make it different to a 'Sangheili SPARTAN' project...
 * Give them some appearances - maybe they could be deployed against Sev, might turn out to be interesting...

Palamok

 * Comb through those errors
 * More quotes and pictures to make it interesting
 * Redo history so the Yanme'e unite against the threat. A single guardian and a division of Prometheans arrive, only to be beaten by the sheer numerical superiority offered by the Drones, but at a great cost.
 * Proof-read the article so everything makes sense

Articles

 * SinoViet Heavy Machinery: Alright, so these guys became unexpectedly central to my RMS article. Basically these guys were set up all the way back in the twenty-second century, rapidly expanding to repair the damages suffered by the Interplanetary Wars. For most of their history, they were a master in the corporate games, always manipulating the public yet keeping them happy through their high-quality products. In the human-covenant war, they became so much more aggressive; entire businesses that didn't align with the goals of their regime were forced out of business, buying out assets which they sold to the UNSC for a fortune - for this reason, its safe to say that all their warship products were merely taken from others. This would ultimately see them take one risk too many when they outright copied the Halcyon's design, and became embroiled in an expensive court case that only ended when the Created emerged - RMS came off worse, but SinoViet found themselves unable to maximise their monopoly, and ventured out onto the Frontier.

Warship slipspace speed
Alright, so on Halopedia mentions that prowlers are capable of reaching slipspace speeds of 2.625 lightyears/day, while Regret's carrier could reach about 912 lightyears/day. Assuming that Wagner was using a standard prowler, which I'm calling the, I've decided to fabricate the following speeds for UNSC vessels:
 * Corvettes: 2.4-2.75 lightyears/day
 * Frigates: 2.55-2.9 lightyears/day
 * Destroyers: 2.4-3.15 lightyears/day
 * Cruisers: 2.3-2.55 lightyears/day
 * Battleships: 2.05-2.25 lightyears/day

The reasoning that I'm giving Destroyers the highest top-speed is two-fold. Firstly, corvettes are simply too small to have a slipspace drive powerful enough to travel through it at a very fast speed; this limitation of the matter 'bubble' also means that they cannot travel too far either. Secondly, destroyers aren't as stripped-down as frigates nor do they have to sacrifice much space to it's secondary function, so it can afford to have a more powerful-then-necessary slipspace drive (you can see the Heart of Midlothian being equipped with a drive that looks similar to the Spirit of Fire's OKB Karman 11E) and a high power-to-weight. This allows destroyers to not only project a larger mass 'bubble' to allow it to travel much easier through slipspace, but also have minimal mass to ensure it can accelerate to high speeds. This is why cruisers and battleships are so much slower (since their mass weighs them down), but their immense size also means they fall into the same problems as corvettes - generating a sizable bubble to encase itself within.

UNSC Hull Classification Codes

 * CBC is a refit Valiant with a flag bridge and other command-and-control upgrades. (Ken behind Warfleet confirmed it)

Covenant Ship Classifications

 * A - Anointed: This ship is capable of pursuing objectives without the aid of a fleet, carrying the necessary endurance and equipment to do so.
 * Examples:, , , , ,
 * C - Contrition: This is a ship of the line, intended to operate within a standard fleet formation. As a result, they tend to be the bulk of the Covenant's forces.
 * Examples:, , , , , , ,
 * D - Divinity: This ship has support functions, such as carrying fighters into battle or disrupting opponents with electronic warfare.
 * Examples:, , , , , , , ,
 * O - Ordained: This ship is not built to standard, being upgraded with a Forerunner artefact.
 * Examples:, , , , , OTS-class Dreadnought
 * P - Piety: This ship is used for patrol, either escorting larger spacecraft or independently crossing the spacelanes.
 * Examples:, ,
 * R - Reverence: This ship is used for reconnaissance, and has the equipment needed to search and unearth Forerunner artefacts.
 * Examples:, , , , , , , SVR-class Siege Cruiser
 * S - Salvation: This denotes the ship is a dedicated warship and is suited for siege operations - typically armed with at least one energy projector.
 * Examples:, . , , , , , , , , , OTS-class Dreadnought, , , SVR-class Siege Cruiser
 * T - Tenet: This denotes that the ship class is not intended for mass-production, with there only being a handful of custom-made examples in existence.
 * Examples: OTS-class Dreadnought
 * V - Virtue: This denotes a ship that is designed to support ground forces, either directly as aerial artillery or by providing support capabilities.
 * Examples:, , , , SVR-class Siege Cruiser
 * X - Xur?: This ship is not capable of faster-than-light transit, although it is capable of exoatmospheric travel.
 * Examples:

Rules

 * The order determines their primary, secondary, and tertiary roles - for instance, while a CAS can be used independently, they are better used in a fleet environment.
 * 'S' is the only exception, as ships designed specifically for ship-to-ship combat have it as their tertiary role.
 * 'O' must be placed according to how vital it is to the ship's role.
 * Ships with TWO or more letters are even more specialised to their role - for example, as there are two "D"s in "DDS-class carrier", it means the ship is designed almost specifically for the purpose of carrying fighters.
 * Ships can have only one or two letters assigned to their class code, but only if they are not designed for any other roles, and their capabilities are considered standard for that letter. For example, the Spirit is a dedicated logistics transport, but their rated complement is matched by the Phantom.

Fleet Sizes

 * According to a conversion based on the numbers Halo: Reach 's gives us, the Covenant will need no less than 2033.955492  needed to glass the entirety of Earth's surface, assuming the rate at which they glass never changes (assuming they continue glassing 1 hectare per second indefinitely, with no cycling) and the surface is all the same. This was calculated at the beginning of the HCW in 2526, so I'll be using this number as a base to calculate the rest of their fleet. I may or may not include support ships. Assuming a 1:5:2 conversion between capital ships, escorts (which includes small carriers), and patrol ships, this gives me roughly 254 capital ships, 1,271 escorts, and 509 patrol ships.
