Maybe they just don't care about being incinerated.

Maybe they are babyeaters.




No wait, that was something different.

Maybe they don't even understand the concept of "caring".

Well, they should at the very least understand efficiency. If nothing else, those ships were worth time and effort to construct...or grow...or phase in from some other reality.

I'm more of the opinion that the effect of the supernova was inheirantly chaotic, and some of the Shivan 'Captains' were just a little too slow to react. It's nice to see that they can make mistakes.

Or maybe they have a freaking huge number of saths and losing one or two isn't really a big deal :P

Now THAT would be kinda scary. (And funny)

Maybe it's so insignificant to them that they care less about efficiency than being incinerated.

Or maybe the ones that died early gave everything they had to start the reaction that killed Capella and the ones that stayed even as they warped out were needed to keep the reaction going.

You should also count the completely purposeless fight that the shivans were doing against the gtva fleets that got inevitably burned.

I think they just did it for the lulz. (Ah, you humans! You thought you had a chance? GOTC.. -- blast)

I think blowing up Capella was extremely important to the Shivans. They wanted no risk, not any risk, that the GTVA'd have some means of stopping the Sathanases from doing what they did. Better to take precaution than risking the opponent having a plot-device to ruin the quality of your nova-able sun.

Well...Batutta had this interview with a guy from Voilution?
THere was a line that the shivans used the supernova to return to "shivan-town"...think about it...

Maybe the GTVA even did have the means to disrupt the process, naturally without knowing it. For all we know, simply opening a jumpnode too close might have upset the delicate process of whatever they were doing.

Dear God, imagine the repercussions if the GTVA really did manage to somehow disrupt the effect. 80 Sathanii, glassing GTVA colonies.

Hopefully they'd jump off into unknown space and find a similar star. Out of sight, out of mind.

The GTVA would seal more nodes. And then wait until they get anywhere else in the universe at the mind boggling speed of 54 km/h

NOBODY EXPECTS THE GRAMMAR INQUISITION.

Sathanas is a Greek word, thus the plural would not be -i!

Not completely! Satanas is a Greek word, which means, you guessed it, Satan. Volition added the 'h' to the name.

Even less completely!  Sathanas is apparently a Latin word, where Satanas is also an acceptable spelling!

Or just 'juggernauts'. No other vessel, Collossus notwithstanding, responds to that classification in FS2 or BP* canon.
