I am liking it very, VERY much, with the exception of what I believe to be bad choices in texturing (the tips of the claws).

It doesn't have the detail to look big, and the angle on the arms is too sharp (the back part, where they do the 90 degree thing towards the hull) to look shivan.

And what's it with the "My ship is bigger then yours" syndrome anyway. What is the player going to do against something bigger then a Sath? BoE people, BoE.

Looks bloody awesome, the fighter too. Score one for custom Texs I suppose :) Though I agree with the size issues (I'd see that as maybe 3 - 4 kms at most) I'm assuming you need a SSJ for something?

Like they said, unless you need a SSJ for something (ugh) it doesn't really need to be that big. It still looks great though, nice work. :yes:

It looks like a supercarrier to me, 3-4 km in length.  I like the design, needs abit of tweaking, but good otherwise.  I do like the fighter, though I find it a little spindly for Freespace standards.

Angelfire sux. I can't do anything to get them to show... including new windows...

Super Juggernaut? Super Carrier? I say Corvette! It'd make an awesome Corvette. Or maybe a small destroyer at best.

But if you call it a Shivan Super Juggernaut, I will hate it due to association with DBZ. I don't need to see any spaceships going SSJ, thank you.

That little fighter is pretty cool too.

Oh yeah, and like someone else said, fix the back of the spines.

you need to check out the thing up close, its beutifull. it has some intracate details. i might put up a beta release for debuging purposes, as there are a couple issues with transparency id like the scp guys to adress.

the fighter was a pirate valk2 (namechange pending idea), hi paly recreation of the original valk2, i gave it gatling guns and made it a pirate vessel.

my original length was 9 km but i made an error in choosing a conversion factor, but i like it this way! its so imense that it causes fred to crash if i enable ship models.

That wouldn't be a size issue; I've gotten the 20km Armageddon to show in FRED before.  You'd better check out your model geometry.

Too big, but the model is waaaaaay cool. :nod::yes: And that fighter is good as well. Looks rather fragile, but a good model. :)

its not size its polycout, the model has the fewest outward bugs of any capship i ever put together. freespac's poly limits may have been jacked up to hell, but fred lags behind abit.

Inferno would probably want this...

It looks a bit like the Shivan gas miner, but it's pretty cool. :) Is that a new subspace effect in the first picture?

That'd be a really cool subspace effect!! Reminds me of Andromeda a bit... Speaking of which, if anyone knows someone who has made a slipfighter, please PM me. :)

Enough to make me sick of 'em, anyway...

How 'bout an original idea for the shivan ship designs?  Seriously, the Sath configuration is getting VERY old.  Sure, make it spikey, but dont make a carbon copy of the Sath.

Try and use another good model for inspiration, like the Rakshasa or the Ravana's mid and aft sections.

:wtf: The only Sathanas part is four front claws. Those were on at least four different Shvan ships in FS2 in the first place.

Post by: Nuke on June 20, 2004, 02:05:00 am
that kinda happened on accident, that whole front end was originally gonna be enclosed by huge armor plates to make a massive docking bay, but i didnt like the way it looked and removed the plates. i wanted alot of internal area to fly around in. im actually thinking about putting little shivans inside that shoot at you with their beam thingie. i just really wanted to try my hand at large ships, i personally perfer criusers and vettes.
