The Spartans will board, fight their way to the bridge, and vent the atmosphere of the ship to space, killing all onboard and granting the UNSC control of this ship. Spartan Boarding Party: Dispatches a team of elite Spartan soldiers to board and capture an enemy ship. This allows UNSC ships the valuable first strike in opening engagements, taking down shields and crippling enemy ships before they can fire back. Targeting Uplink: Provides a range increase for both the Autumn and all friendly ships in the AOE. The missile also has an AOE effect and the EMP can provide debuffs to the enemy. Shiva Nuclear Missile: A high damage missile attack, dealing far more damage than the MAC but with a much longer cooldown. This ship is going to be second to the Marathon in terms of numbers of capital ships within your fleet.


Equipped with a substantial Archer missile, auto-cannon armament and even tankier than most UNSC capitals, this ship is nothing to scoff at. While each shot is slightly weaker than a standard MAC, its overall damage beats even double MAC designs. This ship has a MAC able to fire 3 shots per volley. The ships were designated Autumn-class in honor of the distinguished Pillar of Autumn. This was more cost effective than refitting the older ships and led to many improvements in the design. These refitted ships were so effective that, after the war, instead of refitting old Halcyons, the UNSC designed and built the new Autumn-class Heavy Cruiser using the refitted design of the Pillar of Autumn as heavy inspiration. Many cruisers in the class got major refits turning one of the most ineffective ships in the UNSC navy into one of the most effective, and expensive, warships the UNSC had to offer. The UNSC reinstated the ships when the Covenant appeared as all ships were needed to combat the threat. However, they were soon decommissioned for a plethora of reasons, including high construction costs, high maintenance costs and a severe lack of armament.

The Halcyon Class cruiser was originally designed in 2510 by Dr. The ship is planned to return in later updates. This cruiser class is one of the most effective ships the UNSC possess.Īs of Alpha v0.85 the Autumn-Class has been removed due to balancing issues. Quite an improvement over its unaltered sister-ship, the Halcyon-Class Light Cruiser, the Autumn-Class is a UNSC Capital Ship based off the experimental UNSC Pillar of Autumn.
