Re: Ancient-Shivan War Mod - Anyone interested ?
I am no expert like you guys but I find it difficult to believe that the Shivans had FS2 ships in the Fs1 era.
I think that up to meeting the GTA, the Lucifer was the shivans flagship; similar to the Colossus for the GTVA. I don't think that they had any other ships with similar firepower. The Lucifer was a breakthrough 8000 years ago and the Shivans did not yet have the resources to build more. Think of stone age technology when comparing it to Man's history.
Necro, i like reading this thread. In fs2 it is implied that 8000 years ago that the shivans blew up the star in the system beyond gamma draconis. The answer lays in the fact that everyone in the game was suspecting what the nebula came from and when, the fact that the system is full of shivans, and at the end of the game we get to see how the shivans blow up a star. 8000 years ago they probably used saths to do it. Shivans probably had a bit of their fs2 technology if maybe even having all of their fs2 technology back then. This doesn't remove the lucifer from being a breakthrough though, it was one hell of a difference for the shivans. It was shielded, and not only had front beams, but also side beams.

One reason I really wanted to post in here. That i think is important. What the hell are you guys going to use for the place name of the ancients? The ancients did not call themselves the ancients. The only reason that is used is because the tv scientists couldn't find out the ancients actual species name.

Re: Ancient-Shivan War Mod - Anyone interested ?
If I recall correctly, you play from the perspective of a Terran Researcher or something.
It would probably have the same tone as the Ancients cutscenes...
Actually, I don't really know.

That can be arranged. XD (jk)

Glad to hear that it's still being made. I was starting to lose hope after not hearing anything, since I have been looking forward to this. :P

Re: Ancient-Shivan War Mod - Anyone interested ?
That is cool. I like Ancients. Btw I am working on my own campaign something like post capella time, Shivan are back again but now Ancients will make their move and help GTVA with Shivans and etc etc. Well I am working on my MOD about 2 years and still not finished :( 
Btw do you need any help ? SO perhaps I can share with you my own ideas for story or some ships or my 3 own ships or something :)

Re: Ancient-Shivan War Mod - Anyone interested ?
Wow, I'd really like to see these new ship models.


It really annoys me how there are a hundred Terran fighters but only like a dozen (decent) Vasudan and Shivan mods.

 
Re: Ancient-Shivan War Mod - Anyone interested ?
yeah, I agree with you. I'd be able to finish some models if I could actually get them into cob format. -.- I work in Milkshape it's easiest for me. :P But I've had some great models waiting to be converted. :/

Sorry to talk about myself and not this campaign. I'll delete this post if neccessary. :P

Re: Ancient-Shivan War Mod - Anyone interested ?
Well Snail and Shadow: Yes some ships but there is one problem: They are from my favourite TV series Stargate... So I have  Prometheus, Daedalus, Anubis Mother ship, Hatak, O'Neill, Wraith Hive ship...   All these ships were made in TS 6.6 by me :)
But I am planning to make some new ships from my own mind, imagination....  But well these days a lot of exams in school so don't have time :(   

EDIT: Crap sry for really stupid mistake...
"Are" changed to "were made"...

Re: Ancient-Shivan War Mod - Anyone interested ?
Well once again sorry for mistake with that passive form :(

And no I am not. I am a big fan of Stargate, but I am not part of any project...

 
Re: Ancient-Shivan War Mod - Anyone interested ?
no, I'm not. I'm helping a couple of friends on this site to develope a mod for freespace2. :P One of them plans on changing 95% of the ships. :P So far, we have the plot down, we are now starting the missions. Hope that clears it up a bit. :P And sorry for my small rant. :P
