Has there been a proper canon reason why we have seen the Covenant with the two different types of CCS cruisers? All of them used to have only the two prong design. Halo 3 brought on a 4 prong type that has continued to this day, and at first could have been seen as just an update to old graphics. They appear on the CCS, RCS, CRS, and even the ancient covenant ships shown from Broken Circle.
The two prong ones however, still exist, seeing as they appear in Halo Legends, The Package, and H2A. Thus I am curious, would the two prong simply be the newest version of the CCS? Or would it be an outdated one that happens to simply be uses still as we see with other covenant ships?

can you clarify what you mean by the pronged design
If I’m understanding your question correctly, you’re asking why some CCS-Class Battlecruisers have two prongs on their head while others have four? I’m assuming the Covenant started to deploy four prong cruisers late in the Human-Covenant War to replace the two prong cruisers. Maybe the four prong were the updated version of the carrier and the Covenant wanted to replace the old two prong ships. And the Covenant Remnants only used four prong ships because the two prong ships were outdated and replaced. That’s my theory.

The fin-like structures on the prow of the cruisers.

Yea, that’s what I was wondering. Though I think it may be the opposite of your theory, seeing as ancient covenant cruisers shared the 4 prong design.
CCS Class Battlecruiser
If you look at the Ships of the Line section, it lists the Ket-Pattern cruiser Truth and Reconciliation as well as several other unknown patterns. So perhaps some of these have two prongs while others have four.

Yes I am aware of them, thus the question.

Isn’t it canon now that Covenant ships aren’t mass-produced, but are instead “built to order”? They follow a general design plan but can be modified at the request of a Shipmaster to fit his needs. It does explain minor design differences between games, such as the mentioned CCs-Class’s number of fins.

Looks to be a more “mass produced/custom,” choice. Dozens of yards churned out the cruisers, where the tiny heavy corvettes were truly mass produced for 500 years.
