How large is it?

Post by: InfernoGod on December 23, 2004, 12:10:44 pm: It's 8 km long, i think... lol. I could be wrong. And yes, I'm not dead.

Post by: pyro-manic on December 23, 2004, 12:21:41 pm: I thought the Gargant was the ridiculous 30km behemoth thingy?

I like the look of the thing, though - looks almost wet with the shines on the arms. :yes:

Post by: Kie99 on December 23, 2004, 01:27:09 pm: That would look totally A1-SUPAR if it was an original ship, but all I see is a Sathanas about to do that SuperNova thing, with an different turret in the middle. All I see of the Gigas is a few of the maps.

Post by: DaBrain on December 23, 2004, 04:33:19 pm: Well, some Terran ships do look very similar too.

HercII -> Ares
Leviathan -> Fenris

And don't forget the Cain and it's twin. ;)

I think it's ok for ships from the same race to look similar.

Post by: Jetmech Jr. on December 23, 2004, 09:36:17 pm: Woo's posted several pics of it, though I don't know if they're still up. I remember one in particular, showing the Gargant Obliterating Every GTVA/EA Superdestroyer in the game at the same time.

Badass.

As an aside, that pic is NOT my work. Can't remember who it was, but all I did was brighten it up because, IMO, was a bit too dark to see anything.

I LOVE IT!!!!! :D

Post by: NGTM-1R on December 25, 2004, 01:00:02 am: What would be cool was if it stabbed the Solaris with one of those arms...but not the Nemesis. The Nemesis is cool. Coolness should be preserved.

Post by: Kie99 on December 25, 2004, 04:51:53 am: Lol, one time I pit 3 Icenis and 3 Boudecias (NTF asteroid bases) up against a Sath, the Sath span round to get a shot against an Iceni and Speared a Boudecia on its arm as if it was a fly. (the Boudecia was smashed and the debris went flying)

A little off topic, but you just reminded me of a time when i was playing the mission before the Diablo destroying one (where you blockade the Formalhaut node). The Gigas jumped out and smashed into me with one of its rear fin things. Becuase of the angle i was thrown so far upward the jump node was a little dot when i stopped. I swear the dust particles actually became speed lines!!! :lol:

Unsuprisingly, said collision killed me.

Post by: T-Man on December 26, 2004, 05:59:52 am: I think it was the actuall collision, because i was flying away as the death scene thing was happening.

And it was the Gigas, i remember now, i was on the final mission not the Diablo one, sorry.

Post by: Grimloq on December 27, 2004, 12:55:01 am: IIRC vasudan admiral was flying around a station model one time, looking for poly errors, and he got stuck between2 outcroppings or something... he tried to get out, and started bouncing back and forth until he flew like 2 kilks away :) LOL... i didnt see it, but it sound funny!

-and i constantly get rammed by warships jumping in... bleh... icky :)

Post by: Woolie Wool on December 27, 2004, 01:05:43 pm: I still remember the firdt time I played the Het-Ka missio--the Het-Ka jumped in and T-boned me, smashing my ship into a million pieces,

Post by: Kie99 on December 28, 2004, 01:10:37 pm: One of the funniest things in FS is when a fighter gets stuck in the hole in the Arcadia, it flies around and keeps crashing into the walls until it blows up.

Post by: Grimloq on December 28, 2004, 05:07:42 pm: ever seen a AI fighter try to jump out if its facing something? itll just sit there and keep crashing into the something its facing unti lit blows up :) its funny!

Also, it's funny that in the mission, "Into the Lions Den" the one with Knossos 3, I tried flying to the knossos portal and about 50km out, I self destructed and it said that alpha 1 was killed by alpha 1

That'd be you leaving the mission area.
