Hmmm... at first I didn't see the Sath. :p The mood is great, but the Sathanas seems to be partially see-through - either that, or the spots that are lighter on the Sathanas look like stars. :p

ARGH! SATHANAS WITH CLOAK!

:p

It has a nice creepy feel to it though. Different from all the other "sath-art" but I kinda like it.

I think that it had better turn space red or it'll stick out like a sore thumb with a lightbulb on it stuck in your left eyeball.

Heh, my topics are always lower than that :p  I suppose thats good though, because most of the replies I get are 'it sucks'. :p


And yeah you can tell you just 'rendered' a sathanas, put it on a background and set the sathanas layer to screen. Next time, try to include the background IN the rendered scene. And what program do you use?

A render is a picture that you created with lightwave max blender truespace etc but not with an image editing tool.

OK thx for explaning.

Post by: Razor on April 26, 2003, 05:10:27 pm

Actually it is a render. :p
It doesn't have to be done in LW max etc to be a render. It is still 3d so it qualifies as a render. It has all the necessery elements of a render. A 3d object, background and effects. :p

Umm - just out of curiosity, what is the point of cloaking a six Km slow moving ship? There must be dozens of better poential choices for cloak - why the Sath?

well for one thing, imagine you're piloting a perseus out in the middle of god-knows-where and a sath suddenly 'materelises' right in front of you.... some pants-changing would then be required :p

Title: The Nemesis
Post by: Fineus on April 27, 2003, 06:05:57 am

Yeah, laying traps would be the most effective use... think about it, the GTVA spots a Shivan convoy or something moving from place to place - sends out a taskforce to eliminate it. Wham, Sathanas nukes it all and vanishes before they can get word back.

Come to think about it, didn't one of the SSDs in the Rogue Squadron novels have a cloaking device?

I don't think it's that great, but good effort for an early render (first?). Keep at it!

Yeah it was the Nightcloak system on The Ironfist, Warlod Zsinj's flagship. IIRC they killed it above Dathomir or got close to it. Haven't read those for a few years.

Shivans, AFAIK, aren't in the business of layig traps. They've always seemed to rely on brute force, which is why a cloaking device on any Shivan ship doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Plus, apart from Turnskys scare factor, now that the Collosus is out of th picture, there'a bsolutely nothing that can really stand up to a Sath (assuming it had some support craft to protect its rear while it made the major attacks. I mean, really, if you had a Sath in your shivan task force you'd just pick your target and go, nothing could stop you. Why screw around with cloaks? Plus cloaking technology would either be very new to the shivans (and therefore probably buggy) or very expensive. Either way - cloaking a ship the size of a Sath is inefficient. A cloaking device would be more suited on, say, a Lillith. Cloak your lillith, fly it into your GTVA shipyard. Decloak. Fire your LRed at the Almost finished Hecate. Cloak. Move away as fast as you can (hopefully the shipyard defenses are still in so much shock that they aren't defending as well as they normally would. By the time they fire off more than a few shots, you'vbe moved away to God Knows where to repeat the same perfrmance - couldn't do that with a 6 km juggie.

Though that's another subtle tactic, something Shivans don't seem to like too much...

Meh.
