This ship is in the concept art in the Art of Halo on page 127, bottom right corner, or what seems to be the Albatross. The shown ship has a remarkably similar cargo hold as the one viewable on Relic. | This ship is in the concept art in the Art of Halo on page 127, bottom right corner, or what seems to be the Albatross.

Is this the ship that gives you a scorpion in the halo 3 campaign or am I thinking of something else?[[Special:Contributions/81.108.237.26|81.108.237.26]] 21:24, March 7, 2010 (UTC) | Is this the ship that gives you a scorpion in the halo 3 campaign or am I thinking of something else?[[Special:Contributions/81.108.237.26|81.108.237.26]] 21:24, March 7, 2010 (UTC) | ||

:::I'll try to take a screen-shot. I know it isn't a Pelican, the ship that gives it to you is very large and a plate on the bottom extends down like a platform with lots of vehicles on it including two Scorpions. It is the level where 343GS says "Shall I help you choose a vehicle reclaimer? This one looks to be in perfect condition, primitive armour non-withstanding" about one of the scorpions and someone replies "A tanks a tank lightbulb"[[Special:Contributions/81.108.237.26|81.108.237.26]] 19:14, March 12, 2010 (UTC) | :::I'll try to take a screen-shot.

:: Oh that.

:My info comes from 343 Industries. It was going to be considered a Darter early on until a discussion involved one of their people comparing the model to a Warthog and they realized just how large a model they used and decided it was not. You may be referencing an old screenshot caption. There will be an opportunity coming up that could reference it explicitly, but it will not. I may be able to say more later. -[[User:ScaleMaster117|ScaleMaster117]] ([[User talk:ScaleMaster117|talk]]) 15:25, 17 August 2013 (EDT) | :My info comes from 343 Industries.

The Darter's size in Halo Wars is exactly as it was designed. It uses the Pelican's aft engines are is sized the same. I understand all too well how some things in games have exaggerated sizes. The Darter is not one of them. It was sized appropriately to the Vulture, Pelican, Shortsword, etc. I helped figure out those sizes for the Essential Visual Guide. -[[User:ScaleMaster117|ScaleMaster117]] ([[User talk:ScaleMaster117|talk]]) 15:25, 17 August 2013 (EDT) | ||
