: I'm glad you used the Ghost as an example. It's an example I was going to
: bring up as well. From Halo 1, 2, 3, Reach, Anniversary and 4, the Ghost
: has remained remarkably similar to itself. There are some graphical
: upgrades such as the hexagonal pattern seen close-up and some variation in
: markings and moving parts on the engine area, but very little change from
: Xbox to Xbox 360, from one game to the next across a decade of changes.

: The Autumn was rebuilt entirely by comparison and yet it was supposed to be
: the same vessel. I whipped up some comparisons for everyone's amusement:
: Heavy graphics incoming: Side view silhouette compare of Halo 1 Autumn to
: Reach Autumn:

: Top view silhouette compare of Halo 1 Autumn to Reach Autumn:

: Front view silhouette compare of Halo 1 Autumn to Reach Autumn:

: Perspective view silhouette compare of Halo 1 Autumn to Reach Autumn:

: Finally, the Ghost (with as much design time in between as the Autumn had):
: Side and front view silhouettes compare of Ghost from Halo 1, 2, 3, and
: Reach:

... but now compare the Pillar of Autumn changes to the Forward Unto Dawn changes!

(And every other ship please. And then release it as a hardcover book. Then hire me to do this for you, but for Halo.)
