:::::As for the Condor, I thought initially that it was at least twice the scale of the Pelican while retaining the same design, which seems silly to me. Maybe I'm wrong. It looks suspiciously like the D79, and carries the D''81'' but is meant to be a much older dropship class. On reflection, it may be significantly different enough to alleviate my concerns, especially in the wing and tail areas. I hope Snow's right, that it's okay. -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 05:27, 11 November 2014 (EST)

::::::Hopefully they don't go the Star Trek and rely too heavily on humanoid designs for newer alien species, but the Yonhet may not be so bad.
::::::That's the problem, it looks exactly like a D79 Pelican. Right down to the bubble-canopy style cockpit. And it's definitely not big enough in scale next to the nearby personnel to be anything "Double" or "Super" in any way. So yeah, I think 343 Industries is recycling yet another design just as they recycled the CAS-class for the ''Long Night of Solace'' and the CCS-class for the CRS-class, and the Shadow for a Covenant Tug, or the Halcyon-class for the Autumn-class. This is something I consider lazy, I hate seeing designs recycled into new types of ships which are different pretty much almost solely by name and classification, rather than offering new, unique designs for brand new ship types they introduce in the series. So yeah, this is something I wish 343 would stop doing.[[User:262VigilantGuardian|262VigilantGuardian]] ([[User talk:262VigilantGuardian|talk]]) 05:38, 11 November 2014 (EST)
