  Autumn-class: “Hey, let me take over from here, sir. You did everything that was asked of you and more. Now let me carry that burden with you.”

  Man, I remembers reading the OG Reach book when Combat Evolved was out. The Pillar of Autumn really was a plucky underdog hero ship.<br>It was a borderline mothballed ship that got selected for a mission to take a Prophet hostage in hopes of ending the war. Then Reach and CE happened. They chose her because she was a brick shit house. An internal honeycomb mega structure design made it far more durable than its contemporaries. Along with overhauling the systems, it was fitted with an experimental tri shot mac gun. So basically a rotary cannon that could fire 3 shots per charge, taking out covenant ships with relative ease.<br><br>Oh and replacing the dual mac guns with a single new generation gun is basically going from a double barrel shotgun to an anti tank gun. The UNSC was refitting ships with weapons decades, if not a century, ahead of what they had during the war

  I could be wrong but I think the Autumn class actually has a triple punch Mac instead of a single or double. If I recall correctly. The Mac in the Autumn is based of off the refit Pillar of Autumns Mac. While it only had one Mac, it was capable of firing 3 shots before needing a recharge.

  I&apos;ve always found it odd that the UNSC didn&apos;t position ships as essentially volley-lines at maximum standoff range. Since the MAC projectile in space won&apos;t slow down, in theory you could have a planet surrounded by dozens of ship groups firing from multiple angles on any single target. Heck even mounting the MAC backwards would have made some sense, allowing the ship to retreat from an up-close encounter, gaining distance from the enemy ship while still returning fire with their most potent weapon.

  Always nice to see something from other franchises. But I would really love a look at the Behemoth-Class Battlecruiser from Starcraft, particularly the Yamato-Cannon.

  Slight correction WRT Marathon vs Autumn-Class firepower...<br><br>The autumn class only had one physical MAC Cannon because like its namesake it had sufficient power generation and capacitor banks is that it can fire a three-round burst, so not only did the autumn class not abandon the one-two punch of the marathon class, it actually doubled down on that strategy...<br><br>fundamentally the reason the marathon class exists is because the halcyon class in its original form, let alone fully kitted out like the pillar of Autumn was not feasible from a financial or mass manufacturing standpoint. 2 independent Matt cannons meant that the rails didn&apos;t have to deal with the exponentially greater shock loading that the three round burst created. Likewise, The insane internal reinforcement of the first 10 or so we&apos;ll see on class ships took massively more Man hours and just straight time to build. despite its greater size the simplicity of the marathons design made it a better use of limited resources under wartime conditions.
