In Response To: Tooling around in a Pelican... (Mid7night)


: I recorded some videos of me flying the Pelican around inside and around a
: Marathon-class cruiser today. The exterior of the cruiser model was
: extracted by the The Forerunner (thanks!), but I had to model what I
: thought the interior would look like. I tried to take some clues from the
: inside of the PoA, and went from there.

: Video 1: Launching from the cruiser bay, fly around and land back inside the
: bay, about 4 minutes

: http://useruploads.mythica.org/view/Pelican_in_cruiser_1.mp4

: Video 2: Launching from the cruiser bay, fly down to island airport and land
: by tower, 1:30 minutes

: http://useruploads.mythica.org/view/Pelican_in_cruiser_2.mp4

: In the videos the cruiser is hovering about 2100 feet above Catalina
: island....now I know that a cruiser of that size wouldn't really ever even
: be in the atmosphere, but it's just easier to fly down here!!

: There are two functional docking clamps for the Pelican, and two open
: parking-platforms for some Longswords. As you will see in the videos, it
: ain't easy to park one of those things! Oh yeah, and BTW...if you thought
: that cruiser looked big from the OUTSIDE...just wait. Keep in mind the
: following size comparison: One Longsword is bigger than a Boeing 747
: (there is room for SE7EN of them inside the Marathon-class cruiser...plus
: Pelicans!)

: Anyway, I hope y'all like what I've done so far. Enjoy the vids, and let me
: know what you think, please!

Cool videos, both. ON one of the Halo Custom maps I got to ply Pelicans and Longswords around the Autumn...pretty fun stuff.

My take on that ship you have there is the launch bay is elsewhere. The area you have opening up is among the only areas on that cruiser that have windows. The Autumn had more windows than the Halo 2 cruiser does, but it seems to me an area that might be hallways or crew quarters wouldn't also be a gigantic door. I admit from the outside of the ship (if you ignore the windows) the detail in that area actually looks like the door openings on Cairo Station, where they slide open to the side.

I had pegged the launch bay on this cruiser under the undercut area near the back of the ship. It was chosen because it doesn't interfere with the windows and it can accomodate a Longsword.
