1) Snail's not in the INF SCP. I'm not in that team, either. And Woomeister isn't going to release separate models;

2) I'm glad to notice that someone wants more Shivan firepower in battle. Expecially after reading some very stupid comments.

Just because they have 80 Saths doesn't mean they have to have something bigger. The Saths could have been their ultimate fleet.

But I like to go with the theory that the Shivans have 1000 juggernauts, 300 super juggernauts and 10 Gargants... ;)

NOT HERE. This is the Inferno Forum!

How can their fleet be so poor? No way!

This is not only my preference (1st - the Sath looks like one fat bettle; 2nd - I like good space battles and I like to do them without über-ships) but the story of WotW demands a paradigma change in the shivan tactics...


I'll try to get Woomeister for a word - he has been helpful in the past

I doubt Woo will give it to him.

And if he does, it's unfair, and Woo will have to give it to everyone.

Correct.

There are ships like Axem's Lamia which are free to use.

if we get a deal done I'll...
and INFSCP will be out faster than WotW I guess (with the luck we are having about the C.s)
(I would not need to borrow stuff there would someone coming to our aid  :mad: :mad: --- I have searched for a modeller on various occasions and I didn't find anyone)

As I said, there are plenties of models like Axem's Lamia. They're a fine addition to the Shivan fleet.

The Lamia is a nice anti-fighter platform, for example...

Hemeroc? Aamon? Paktai? What are these variants?

What are these variants?

tbl-changes resulting in better weapons (and in the chase of the Hemeroc in better hitpoints)
they were named after the ships they will be used on

the Aamon was the Lucifer in the WotW-prologue
Spoiler:
the Hemeroc is a SD Demon which travels with the Tzulan and defends it - although it needs little defense
the Paktai (actually the name is written with an i which has two dots on it) is a Lucifer which is the one-ship-advance-fleet of the Tzulan)

One moment, were these ships mentioned in a thread? Someone posted some basic schemes and asked for a modeller, right?

As first attempt to get a modeler I posted the basic concepts for the Tzulan before it became a SCa Shiamak (it was supposed to be a SSD at that time, looked very much like a ravana) and the SC Qwor-class cruiser (which at that time was supposed to be a mobile shield generator with little arament - now it was phrased out)

there were a lot useless comments of the ships design but no modeler ever took up the work - as result kzinti and I made some attempts to model but it resulted in two catastrophies
