Grab FSPort

Bosch boarded shivan freighters. You'll know what happens to him next if you read my techroom entries.

[varsaigen]

lol. yep. Sounds like fun! XD

[Colonol Dekker]

True, and that was in FS2 not the port.

Still looking forward to reading the Tech entries for all craft from a shivans point of view. Very excited.
Flaming_Sword is our own walking talking ETAK.... *cough title cough*

[Flaming_Sword]

He didn't board a Shivan freighter, he boarded a Shivan transport. There is a diffference.

I stand corrected. I often get freighters and transports confused since I blow them up all the same.

[varsaigen]

lol. the tech reviews could be interesting. =D

[Jake2447]

Has anyone else had a problem of not being able to see many ships in game or in the Techroom (Tanen, The Shivan Command Carrier, Shivan Iceni)
Any idea why these ships are not showing up.

[Flaming_Sword]

Download the mod and find out?

Note: Only shivan ships are available in the techroom unless you use ctrl-shift-s (at least i think that was the keystroke) and will be unlocked in a campaign.

[Colonol Dekker]

Flaming_Sword is really DaveB with a fake alias e-mail so it's all above board

[Flaming_Sword]

*whistles innocently*

[Colonol Dekker]

Did no-one else realise?


DaveB loves shivans everyone knows that, Then Flaming Sword turns up with "technically correct" Shivan stuff..........
 
It's obvious.

[General Battuta]

No, no, no, the Manifesto is not canon. It is creative and interesting but it is NOT canon or even a favored interpretation.

DaveB, on the other hand, is Volition.

[Spicious]

Something is either canon or it is not canon. It is not a continuous quantity.

[Flaming_Sword]

On the one hand, one could argue that attacking some transports would make everyone in general leave more quickly (you'd run faster if somebody was shooting at you, right?). On the other hand, one could point and laugh at Volition's record for consistency.

[varsaigen]

I like to think that they are protecting subspace, but don't intend to eradicate other species unless it was absolutly necessary to do so to protect subspace from being destroyed. I also tend to think that they were originated from nebulas or planets and evolved in the nebulas and definatly adapted to the zero-gravity fields in space.

But, that's my belief.

[ShadowGorrath]

Well, did you read their tech description carefuly?

[Molybdenum]

The Shivans from "Shivans"  (  ) Match with the non-canon ones shown in Blue Planet. They eliminate races that could endanger others with "potential". We learn this from

Spoiler:

The dialog between the Dante and Vishnan SSJ

[/color]

IHMO it one of the better non-canon explanations. Less only to Mind Games  and their whole Starborn plot. (too bad that campaign is hibernating)

[Colonol Dekker]

Like Santa.
How'd you make the .anis? You have a shivan model knocking about?

[General Battuta]

They didn't evolve. They are a cybernetic fusion of biology and technology and are hinted to have been created by another species.

We don't know for sure! It's just a hypothesis.

[Droid803]

They may have evolved, then integrated machinery into themselves. Its possible.

[Flaming_Sword]

Other people made those. I borrow what I can't make, with permission of course. See the credits files.
