...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.

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.

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:

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!

Post by: TrashMan on October 04, 2004, 06:03:57 pm
It's not a ship at all, but a garbage vessel, or some meningless instalation?

Or

It's a new faction (Like NTF)..
Title: no identity. you will see...
Post by: Liberator on October 04, 2004, 06:06:30 pm
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.

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.

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... :)

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!

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'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.
