Alas I read your comment too late and made a Charge Bomb for the banshees :D.
Here is the new version: http://www.mediafire.com/?th4kawaxx8d03h7
(the old mission added two banshee wings)
Feel free to give feedback; however I won't be able to do anything else until tomorrow afternoon.
Btw the Ardent Prayer looks pretty good but I feel we will need some kind of expert spriter to touch up some of the other sprites and make them look real nice. (anyone? :D)

Wow that was fast  :o.

Yeah I hate to say it, although I have access to photoshop, I'm not no graphic artist

For the sake of organization I have decided to make a checklist (feel free to edit the original post to include it)

Ships (and sprites) we need:

Phantom (Frigate [possible carrier?])
Seraph (Frigate)
Spirit (Frigate)

Sabre (possibly Frigate or Fighter)
Pelican (Frigate[maybe?]{also possible carrier?}])

Higher Quality:

UNSC (Frigate)

I have always been a big fan of Halo, and I would love to see this mod as part of my game in the future.  :)

The sabre and longsword are both good top down views, and I already have the ccs.
Should the sabre and longsword both be frigates or the longsword be a bomber wing?
I can get to work on these possibly Sunday, but no earlier since I'm on a vacation :P.

Personally i think the longsword should be a very fast small and weak frigate and sabre a multirole fighter

Can anyone scale this down to 76x100 pixels but keep a decent level of resolution?
I'm using GIMP and can't seem to do it.

(I can't even add it as an attachment it's so big [1000 pixels tall D:])

Great mod Idea!

Just some idea's

Normal Marine sprites > Halo marines Sprites
Add new ships > All UNSC and Covernant Ships, also you could add Flood as a enemy like SPAZ (Maby add Forerunner ships as secret ships)

Mission Idea:
*Perhaps add a Halo ring in the backround for the mission*
You need to go in and investigate a SOS beacon, when your ships arrive outside of the ring, you see a group of (perhaps ally) UNSC/Covernant ships, around 3 to 6 fighters protecting a capital perhaps, being attacked by around 10 to 18 flood ships (any type, your choice) and if you sucseed at protecting the capital ship then you get 12000 credits.

Just a idea, not the best one though :P

You could add other missions too, I am really exited for the mod   :)

EDIT: With the mission, perhaps add a SP mission system where you go to a station and they tell you a mission descrioption and you can choose and stuff.
If not possible, just add it to the mission list (If you do decide to add it :P )

I used to mod Halo: Custom Edition back in the day so I rendered the Pillar of Autumn for you guys. If you really want them, I can get renders of the longsword, banshee, original covie dropship, and pelican. If you want to take this seriously take a look at www.halomaps.org and you will find alot of material. You will have to take their models and render them though. For the frigate, you should ask a render from this guy's model: http://www.3dbuzz.com/vbforum/showthread.php?184270-Halo-Frigate-In-Amber-Clad

Pillar of Autumn


This other guy's frigate model (which looks better than the ingame model)

I just finished renders of all the other ships from halo custom edition. I made them large so they can be scaled to the desired size.

Longsword bomber (for some reason there is a patch of floor missing and needs some photoshop)

Spirit (FYI it was tagged as "c_dropship" in Halo and in later games called "Spirit"

Pelican

Banshee

Lifepod (just so I don't have to go back and render it)
