Title: Shivans, ignored?
Post by: Noise on December 04, 2002, 09:45:55 pm
I'm new here, but I've been here and there around the net and noticed that for the most part, with a few exceptions, that the Shivans have been ignored as far as mods go.  I don't know about everyone else, but I would really like to hunt and be hunted by new types of Shivan fighters, bombers, warships, or installations.  Let's face it, we've all blown up one too many Rakshasas or Basilisks.

No Shivans?

Oh, I dunno... there's the SB Yali (http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/the158th/dev/mikhael/SB-Yali/index.htm) and the SF Naga (http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/the158th/dev/mikhael/SF-Naga/index.htm). Unfortunately no textures on those as yet. But they'll both be used in the 158th (http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/the158th/). :thepimp:

I wish I could show off the S** R******h we'll be using in TI - it's a beautiful thing, but we won't be able to use it until late act three, so at least 12 months away. Or the Shivan ***** built inside enemy territory. I think a lot of good Shivan mods exist, they're just locked up in as yet unreleased Campaign VPs.

Post by: Noise on December 06, 2002, 09:46:56 pm
More to the point, I'm really looking for Shivan installations such as shipyards, battlestations, general purpose stations like the Arcadia.  To simulate a Shivan battlestation I just stick four Sathanas's together with place a comm node in the middle and call it a power core.  You see, the campaign I'm working on involves a trapped GTVA fleet (was on the wrong side of Capella when it went supernova), and they have to venture into Shivan territory.  I've already finished chapter one if anyone wants to try, all you need is base Freespace 2.:D

I would pImp INFERNO but I'm not part of the staff so I cant.
Yes they do have a station.
Edit: sounds good :cool: Need any help, just ask.

I'd pimp the TVWar, but since it takes place in the Terran-Vasudan War as well as the Unification War of Earth there are no Shivans.

Do you have the Arachnis? Or whatever it is called?

Depends on what you can do:D I'm always glad to take on people that want to help, and can help. PM with me a "resume". Just tell me what you can do, and a little bit about your commitment. i.e.-you'll be on long term, you'll only be on on weekends, etc.

Sorry to drag this subject off.:D

The SD Cernunnos: The best use of a backwards, retextured Sekhmet with 3 huge beam cannons ever. Part of the ship set I released when I stopped SHaS. It's downloadable here (http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/gtdwolf/shas.zip).

I had a few Shivan-Terran hybrid fighters lying around somewhere too, I think they may be in that ZIP file too.

I still don't know half the links and functions around here.  Hell, I still don't have a place to upload pictures, mods etc.

This is still only my second year of internet access, with a seven month gap in it.

Behold a fleet of 10 Gigas (old style) flee before the might of the master race. They think to hide from it by hiding under one of it's wings. I estimate that you could fit 1,000,000 gigas within it's hull. Of course it doesn't work in game. the moment to turn to look at it it crashes FS2 (Don't look!!!) :cool:

Random bit of advice:

I got started in the community when Aldo was working on the GVF Reshef.  Aldo said if someone would do the interface art for it, he'd release it.  I wanted that ship desperately, so I volunteered for the job.  The rest is history.

Moral: help people out.  It's good for you and good for them.
