What’s your favorite Covenant ship class and category (you can of course also say each one of your favorite Covenant ship class per category)?
My favorite Covenant ships are overall:
-The Zanar Pattern Lightcruiser; It perfectly shows the Covenants tech level. What is basically a police car by Covenant standards can become a big danger for basically any human Covenant war era UNSC ship. It’s a fast and agile ship, that can easily keep up and work together with fighters, it actually kinda has a symbiotic relationship with them.
-The ORS heavy Cruiser; It’s a hybrid of different awesome looking Covenant ship classes (the CAS, RCS and SDV to be exact). It’s equipped with Forerunner tech and can be called a fleetkiller (although not to the extent of a CAS or a CSO class). It’s a capital ship to use as flagship, and it will make the existence of your Covenant splinter group a lot easier to maintain.
-CPV heavy Destroyer; This thing screams being aggressive. It might not be as long as a CCS class, but it definitely is still a lot bigger than one. The CPV (and it’s RPV relative) are definitely the most different to other Covenant ship designs but I love them for it. They are equipped for war only, even having an Energy Projector as powerful as those used by the CAS class. Humanity would have been gone a lot sooner if the Covenant had utilized these ships properly!
My favorite category of Covenant ship classes are the Destroyers; They are just so different design wise to other Covenant ships. Each one of them including even the smaller RPV class can be concidered fleetkillers if utilized properly. Also I forgot to mention the Super Destroyer, which is basically a small flying Battlestation with a lot of powerful energy Projectors. This thing is probably the second best fleetkiller in the entire Covenant navy, with the CSO Supercarrier obviously being the best one.
Also fun fact: The CSO utilities Forerunner tech since it has the ‘Ordained’ (the ‘O’) in it’s name. Many people seem to forget this when putting it into a Vs.
