#DECA CPU ship in X3:TC looks like a freakin' humungous mouth that will swallow you whole.

Is that ingame?

Difficult to say with X3:TC, it could very well be.

Re: Scariest-looking ship ever?
It isn't, I believe that is the intro cutscene.
[22:29] <sigtau> Hello, #hard-light?  I'm trying to tell a girl she looks really good for someone who doesn't exercise.  How do I word that non-offensively?

Re: Scariest-looking ship ever?
Possibly, I'll take a look and see... one sec....

Edit: Yes, it's from the cutscene, but since most of the cutscene was done using the game engine (you can tell from the combat scenes) and in-game models, there isn't much difference. If I can, I'll try to get an in-game shot of the one at Aldrin, but I don't think I've got a save with the Aldrin campaign complete at the moment.

The ship looks very detailed you'll mistake it for an actual movie.

Perhaps by 3.6.20 or something people will mistake FS for a movie.

Any ship that is being piloted by QuantumDelta will scare the living daylights out of me especially if I'm staring at the front of it.

Warship-wise, this is the first one that comes into mind:

It's a pinecone.

It's not even a scary pinecone.

Whoever designed it apparently missed the class on why visual noise detracted from a design.

AND it fails looking romulan...AND fails at looking like a mining ship.

Is there a campaign with this? :nervous:
Will someone recreate these textures with the new Hades (when it's out)?

Re: Scariest-looking ship ever?
It's the PCD Saturn from the Proycon Insurgency. Since it has extra turrets, rather than just being a reskin, making a version of it using the new Hades model will probably be rather difficult, if all those greebles are anything to go by.

Is QuantumDelta actually the most skilled FreeSpace pilot who ever lived? Surely he can't beat Xinny or Zero? :nervous:

It fails looking like both of your designations, which is why it looks scary.

It doesn't look Romulan, so it's scary. Most Romulan ships don't look scary.

It doesn't look like a mining ship. Most mining ships don't look scary, do they?

It's a failed design. Whoever did it should be fired.

That thing was supposed to be a hastily converted mining ship.

I think the Narada's design was to intentionally create a villanous atmosphere. I mean, heck JJ Abrams was a Star Wars fan, and Star Wars is a quite black-and-white fantasy series.

It's only explained in the comics. Star Trek 11 simply lacks explanation. They shouldnt've cancelled the scenes where Nero kills a group of Klingons, and where the Narada was about to be boarded. It is unfortunately to the frustration of ST fans.

The Enterprise, or actually any Enterprise, looks neither Romulan nor mining ship. And they don't look scary.

One of the most. He could probably give the real Xinny and Zero a good challenge because, unlike them, he's still active.

QD says BlackDove is also pretty good too, but I've never seen him fly in multi, so I'm not convinced.

Having tested missions alongside BD I can confirm this. I think I was brought in to test BWO solely so they had a non-BlackDove viewpoint, otherwise the end result would make Aeos Affair look easy.
