:With the exception of graphical upgrades and artistic licenses, these cruisers are nearly identical to the refitted ''Pillar of Autumn''. Additionally, all ''Halcyon''-class light cruisers were decommissioned as the war progressed. The data presumably provided by Cortana on the Autumn's successes at Reach and Installation 04 would have led Fleet Command to fund a project to make these ships active again, especially to escort their expensive new flagship. {{User:Grizzlei/Sig}} | :With the exception of graphical upgrades and artistic licenses, these cruisers are nearly identical to the refitted ''Pillar of Autumn''.

::Or, 343i reused the POA design from ''Reach'', polished the textures and 'upping' the polygons for the CGI scenes.

It would be utterly useless to have a non-upgraded Halcyon escort the ''Infinity''. They had virtually no offensive power. They wouldn't be useful in a defense role without upgrades.

What I meant was, with the UNSC acquiring Forerunner tech, this ship could have a much more extensive refit than the POA. | What I meant was, with the UNSC acquiring Forerunner tech, this ship could have a much more extensive refit than the POA. | ||
This should not be listed as a ''Halcyon''-class. It's structurally different from the Halo 1, Reach and Anniversary versions. It is speculation to list it as such. It is most similar to the Reach version but is different in many minor details.

::::To play the devil's advocate, the differences do seem rather minor when the general design and shape of the hull are virtually identical otherwise. Do you think it would be far-fetched to assume they're Halcyons that have been upgraded at some point? The differences are exactly the kind one could easily expect to see in a refit - upgraded sensors, communications equipment and the like. But making them a wholly distinct class? On top of that, in light of most of 343i's design choices so far (the ''Dawn'' stands out as the most egregious), changes like these are comparatively tiny and would even have a very reasonable in-universe basis (the UNSC would basically be forced to upgrade the hopelessly obsolete Halcyons - if they still kept using them). That is, unless there are some major, deal-breaking structural differences not listed above. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 12:13, 10 September 2013 (EDT) | ::::To play the devil's advocate, the differences do seem rather minor when the general design and shape of the hull are virtually identical otherwise.
