I got the general idea that the Sathanas Juggernauts were built for the purpose of nuking Capella (or whatever).  They would never be used as a regular warship (at least not under normal circumstances).  You really don't need anything bigger than a Lucifer to destroy a civilization.

[ShadowGorrath]

The Lucifer is unstoppable. The Sathanas can be disarmed and destroyed and wouldn't be a prob to the Ancients. I think that the Lucifer was design to take care of the Ancients. Take a very good care of them.

P.S. I'll probably be uploading 3 screenies soon. Just wanna get feedback from one fella before I show it to public.

I once thought these would look cool for a return of the ancients theme...

[ShadowGorrath]

FTR3 looks good ( as in - similar model to the ones currently in ).

Seems that I have to change the Shivan anti-cap weapon effect due to both of the effects looking similar, and one of them looking very basic. So I will upload 4 screenshots in a while.

By the way, the Ancient textures that Galemp uploaded- almost the same quality in-game as the current ones. I guess I will have to stick with the Knossos textures ( might edit them though for better look ). In the screenies you'll see 2 Ancient ships with the textures from Galemp and the Knossos ones.

The Ancient speaker talked about Shivan shields in general and the fact that they gave their enemy a considerable advantage. There's no direct reference to capital ships equipped with shields, I think having shielded fighters and bombers fighting unshielded ones was enough to turn the tide of a war.

ShadowGorrath, do you mind adding screenshots to the first post of this thread?

[ShadowGorrath]

Here they are. Just don't complain about the quality. The other one, the weapons that I changed slightly today. I want to know which ones do you like more. But since there's an attachment size limit ( and imageshack is freaking out ) I can't upload more than 3 images here. The one with today's weapon effect will be uploaded on the first page.

IMO you need a modeller to boost these designs.

When creating new models based on INFR1 Ancient designs please consider the ACv Malia, the best shaped Ancient ship.

[ShadowGorrath]

That is the Malia corvette. And currently, these models will stay. Until/unless I get modellers.

[Mobius]

I know...but base any new shipmodel on the Malia rather than other designs.

IMO that destroyer really needs replacement.  Woomeister's ancient ships from R1 are just ... not ... good (no offense).  Bobb's are considerably better.  There is a noticeable difference.

[Getter Robo G]

You gotta start with something...

A model can always be replaced later. 

Good retexture. I thought you were a modeler though?

[ShadowGorrath]

I can't UV Map, texture, or make a model into a pof.

Where can I see Bobb's Ancients?

[blowfish]

In INF R1.  The good ones are made by Bobb, the bad ones by Woo (full list here)

How accurate is that list? (I know it isn't very up to date)
It says the SCv Bryn is public. O_o Is it?

[Titan]

why is there sop much volition on there?

[ShadowGorrath]

I have taken all of the INFR1 Ancients into the mod already. But unless you can find me another Ancient destroyer that fits in that style, the Pylos stays.

Unless, I get a modeler who can teach me how to get a model made in Wings3D changed into a textured POF for FS2. With turrets and subsystems.

P.S. Made a final list of what mods I'm gonna make overall until I finish school. ^^

It has to be noted that the Pylos is probably a stretched Serapis.

[Titan]

ya...

[Mobius]

Those probably were Woo's first modelling attempts so don't get amazed...

Did you ever look at the Minos? No, not my dog, the Ancient destroyer...?

Was it ever released? I don't think it was. Either way, there are a whole load of new Ancient vessels which are not released, which is a real pity. I mean, they won't appear until 2013... A few years after INFSCP is released.
