Looks good by the way, thanks for taking the time to do this! I always thought the Iceni was pretty cool, so it's nice to see it get a face lift. :)

No he didn't. But give him some time.

I'd imagine the same, IMO ETAK was more likely to be primarily a computer translation & encoding program than any form of physical hardware.

We don't really have assuming that ETAK is special, detroyable device of its own. For all we know, it might be intergrated into the whole ship. Or it might just be specialized comm programming. Whether you think. The possibilites are so many.
Long time ago, you see, there was this thing called the VBB and... oh, nevermind.

Judging from the way your spelling has gone to hell it sure looks that way :p

No new pics for now, be patient. Instead, I'll try to reply to the posts. So, first of all, I'm not going to make new textures. I can't do it, period. There are much much much better texture artists out there than me. Second, I'm not planning to make a destroyable ETAK submodel because that wouldn't be canon. And besides it's probably a software program, not a huge device sticking out of the ship. I'll make glowpoints too, and I'm planning to make a Saphah mod for Derelict (a new model, not just a reskin). Now that's not 100% sure, so don't get too excited.

I doubt it's a software program. It was stated ingame that an etak device was being built on the iceni.
actualy, mabye not.

ETAK had schematics, from what I gathered, and that that was what command wanted from the Iceni before it went boomy-bye.

Could be that the ETAK device enabled communication with Shivan ships. Who says Shivans use the same comm equipment as humans?

Maybe they do, only in a different way?

Ok, but it's still not a huge something sticking out of the ship

I never suggested that such a submodel would need to be huge.  It could be something like a dish or wacky AWACS dome half the size of the multi-part turrets, located underneath the "head"... for example... but its your model, not mine.

I always thought ETAK was more like a translator, and that the transmission itself still rode on the normal comm systems.  The Shivan ship trying to transmit on an allied channel backs that up a little too.
who needs a signature? ;)

ETAK must be some sort of physical device, as it seems to need battery and power  maintainence.

no, ETAK was a completely different device, it use d quantum pulses to communicate, not normal comm equipment,
if it was simply a new frequency and language, it'd be a somewhat less important seeming thing and it woudlnt have taken years of research and a coverup rebellion to do
