i will answer no questions about this...

Ooh! Ooh! The mighty "Flanbox!"
-
I'm gonna call it "Spiky".
Terran, I'm guessing...

incorrect.
and what the hell is a 'flanbox'? :p
-
...it's not Terran? No self-respecting Vasudan shipwright would design something so boxy. And the Shivans don't do boxy either.
Unless of course I'm missing something huge because it's an undifferentated silhuoette.
-
Ancient????? Looks like a big boat.
-
..with spikes...or antennas...
-
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that it isn't a freespace vessle. It is not only clearly designed around a naval frame, it has way too many little spiky protrusions from a normalish hull to be of any of the three FS races.

no, it IS a freespace vessel. and its not a boat, thats just the angle:nervous: i chose a not-so-good one...
-
Maybe you haven't done the model, and all you gave us was that silloutte. ;)
-
lol... no...
its a real model, but i made it a silloette. why? well, just keep making guesses. youll get it eventually...
-
Those spikes could be antennas or some other new accesory for all I know. The shape resembles a WWII submarine, but I still don't know what it is.

It's what happens when you put flan in a mailbox, then pick it up and use it as a weapon without closing the mailbox door.
You can get a good range of about 50 meters if you do it right.
And you have to say it threateningly.
...flanbox... :mad2:
-
Answerring no questions, huh?
Doesn't matter. It's a crunchy flanbox.
-
and.... nevermind, i dont want to know... :nervous:

I still think it's just a siloutte. :lol:
Don't mess with IFOB.

Not really a guess, but it reminds me of a Homeworld Beast infected type ship...
-
Civy? Some "new race"?

gettin warmer...
so far:
it IS a freespace ship
its neither shivan, terran, vasudan, nor ancient.
it looks unlike any other ship (like a boat, but thats the angle :p )
it IS a model, despite whatever blitzerland says...
it is essentially similar to a beast infected ship from homeworld...
all that, plus the really weird part: although this is a never-before-seen-style-of-ship, and its not any of the afor-mentioned races, its not a new race!
good luck!
-
It's not a ship at all, but a garbage vessel, or some meningless instalation?
Or
It's a new faction (Like NTF)..
-
If it's not a new race and it doesn't belong to any of the existing races(Terran, Vasudan, Shivan, or Ancient), then it doesn't exist.
BTW, it looks like a node-hopper, a flying sensor pod with crew of 3 that will be used in conjunction with the Knossos project to study the inside of the Sol node and make sure the Knossos is working correctly.
-
I say it's an NTF submarine.

what if it isnt a race...?
[edit]and this is thing sodenst have a crew of 3... lemme get a scale picture for you, JAS...
[edit#2] ok, i uploaded a scale picture, look on the next page.
-
What if it just... is?
-
closer still...!
and let me also say that there IS a story here. it may turn into a campaign sometime, but for now, only i know it.
-
shivan faction? or shivan-teran faction?
Bosch leads the shivans!!!! OMG!!!!
-
ok, colder again...
(although that would make an awesome storyline :p )
[edit] ok, scale-study:
(http://waycoolpages.com/originorder/dd9382jhda4.jpg)
and keep in mind that this is the only rediculous ship in this entire 'story'. and i have a good excuse for it anyway. :)
-
It's a NTF-Shivan alliance using an UBER medical ship design upside down am I close? (by the way it does look sorta like a gun type profile?)...
-
....
nope
....
-
Overkill?
-
Nonsense? :wtf:
Maybe it's a background nebula...:nervous:
-
LOL!!!!
but while it IS overkill, its not a dackground nebula ;)
-
It may be a hulk - an abandoned ship that drifted our way.
It may belong to an unkown race.
-
It is the flagship of Satan himself?

A colonisation vessel from the sublight era that failed its mission and all the passangers died?

Now THAT is a cool idea.
-
hmm..... something like that...
-
It's a colonization vessel from the current era that's on it's way out to space unreachable bysubspace?
-
It's a living being, living in space.
Though, a living being with spikes and a hole in the middle...hmm.
-

oooohhhh!!!! your soo close its painful!!!
-
A research/colonisation vessel where the only remaining conscious part is the main computer.
-
Ah! It's a baby space worm, injured by an abandoned colony ship from the pre-subspace-era, that has been forgotten by its parents as they stopped by a gas station between some background nebulae.
Time to sleep, I guess.
-
Just tell us. This is annoying.
-
It's like that episode of Futurama when Fry ate the egg salad sandwich from the rest stop's men's room sandwich dispensor... :p
-
How is it even remotely like that, Raa?
-

Vacuuming up Sathanas debris to make Capella safe again.

An intergalactic, colossal iron, designed for ironing the clothes of gods?

A Beast ship?

Or to smooth out a wrinkle in (space-)time?
-
intergalactic space iron? :p lol, i like it!
actually, im constructing the teaser now, so it wont be *too* long a wait till you see it...
i thought up this |_| |3 3 |? - 5\/\/33+ campaign idea, and someday i may develope it. its called 'Quarentine'. its actually a pretty good idea, really, but im helping at twisted infinities right now, so 2 camapgins at once is a bad idea. but im still gonna make the teaser... :)
-
It's V'Ger, that's what it is.
-
V'ger was hundred of kilometers long, not to mention virtually all powerful.
-
no, its not vger! sheesh... that was a terrbile movie... an insult to all star trek...

I don't know. I'm a very niave young padawan... :doubt:

[rant-type-thing]
To be fair, it WAS their first attempt at a motion picture and due to some internal problems, it became the Motionless Picture. IMO, ST5 is the insult to Trek, as they should have been able to do better by that point. Note to Trek producers: Never Let Shatner Direct Again!
[/rant-type-thing]
Later!

Hey, don´t insult V´ger, it was one of my favourite movies of all time!! :hopping:
****** slaps them in the head*
:D :D
PS:Off topic, i just saw Aliens vs Predator, last night. Really cool movie! (As every Alien movie ever made, as always). But i didn´t like how she wore an alien head as a shield... Why didn´t she burn her hand, uh?? :ick:
-
I say it's one of the Nightmare ships.... either that or one infested by the Beast from Cataclysm
-
Doesn't match anything from Cataclysm, though, even the Republican Taidanii colony ships. Or the Beast Mothership.

I'm guessing that it had the blood drained from it or something. Anyway, perhaps the answers will be in the DVD. You see, just a few weeks before it hit theaters, AvP was recut from an R rating to PG13. As a result, its runtime was reduced and apparently, most of the "good" parts were removed or shortened, including sub-plots about the various characters, revealing that they didn't all die as fast as might have been implied. This may be in the initial DVD release, or it may require a wait until a "Director's Cut" version.

A Sivan colony ship?
Actually, I would say it is a plasma rifle for a race of space giants....
-
Okay, enough of the teaser pics already. This is gettin' old.
I hope you haven't just nicked the story from Event Horizon. :p
-
OMG it' a long lost ship from Boldoza's army! GTVA meets 50ft tall programmed Zentreadi warriors!
"Their missiles are almost as big as our ships!" :lol:
