Talk:UNSC Song of the East

Refit?
Where is the evidence that this ship had the same refit as the POA?
 * 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.
 * Or, 343i reused the POA design from Reach, polished the textures and 'upping' the polygons for the CGI scenes. Unless it can be shown what Grizzlei says is true, I would suggest we remove these conjecture information.— subtank   21:40, 29 December 2012 (EST)

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. Tuckerscreator (stalk ) 21:47, 29 December 2012 (EST)

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. ScaleMaster117 (talk) 21:30, 3 June 2013 (EDT)
