Halo UNSC Pillar Of Autumn (Obsolete)

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Eden_Editor:_Custom_Composition

this is finally obsolete. the mad lads in the 41st mod just made one and released it to the public and ti looks amazing, you can find it here https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1790880882
i will leave this comp us as its still good for wrecks, shipyards, and any other scenario that you would need the cruiser not in one piece

this is a just a prop, great for launching large scale invasions or holding back the covenant tide. ideal for i04 and reach "endgame" scenarios. all weapon systems work, comes with 1 mac ( artillery only ) + 48 Archer Missile Pod Systems ( 240 Missile Tubes ) + 8 50mm Point Defence Cannon's ( 0 nukes )

Halcyon-class light cruiser: Their service lives were short due to a unique hull design that was costly to construct and maintain with low maneuverability, poor armament, and concerns about their tactical viability. They were replaced by the Marathon-class cruiser. Despite the disadvantages of the original design, the heavily modified UNSC Pillar of Autumn proved to be one of the most effective, and costly, ships deployed in the war.

Q: Do i really need SpecWar Gru 7 Official Mod Pack & Achilles?
A: No, you can spawn the POA just fine without them, but you will lose the MAC and Nukes.

Q: Can I walk/climb around on it ?
A: Yes, but you will need Enhanced Movement mod or something similar for some of the exterior areas

Q: Does it have an interior ?
A: Somewhat, though its mainly meant to be used as a exterior prop, because it uses corvette parts it does have some interior like the hangers the bridge. there are hallways and rooms attached to the corvette parts but they aren't properly connected or flushed out at all.

Q: Why is it spawning all broken up?
A: You need to click off Vertical Mode & Surface Snapping before spawning any comp, click the first link in the description, there's a section in the first part in the yellow box that'll show you what the button looks like.

Q: Can I disable / destroy it?
A: Though it can't be destroyed it can be disabled by destroying all the turrets and missile pods. though as seen in the Aszod ship breaking yards pics in the slide show above (aka OBJECTIVE: SURVIVE) it can be easily broken up and rearranged to look destroyed/ damaged.

Q: Why does it have so many missile pods ?
A: Based it off pics of the model from reach/CE but there is only one type of Archer Missile Pod System in optre at the moment, the x5. while the Halcyon-class light cruiser, and by extension the Pillar Of Autumn was OLD , obsolete, and lightly armed, sporting the older x4 and x3 pre war systems (the POA in reach is a a up-gunned late-war refit).

Q: why no nukes?
A: Didn't think it was worth an extra mod for something that wont be used all that much and until the covenant get more assets it has more then enough firepower to handle most scenarios ( also the Achilles mod adds nukes to zeus anyways )

Q: warthog run? warthog run!
A: As much as it saddens me to say, no. the part count is already pushing it and to make it right would just be far too much. also as legendary as it is, it wouldn't fit scale wise even according to lore (like really, wtf was that huge gap in the middle suppost to be?)

Q: Why isn't this "mod" showing in the launcher/ how to spawn it?
A: This isn't a "mod", its just a composition, and wont show in your launcher. You'll find this composition in the editor, once there you need to press the groups key or F2 then click on the composition icon.

-Can be a bit laggy - lots of parts in tight formation.
