Title: this is aaaaawful close...
Post by: Grimloq on December 30, 2004, 04:26:02 pm: hmm...

go out and rent (or buy, its a decent game) 'DS9: The Fallen'.

then, play as sisko.

then look, and then note how uncannily similar the grigari ship looks to a sathanas. and also how much the grigari themselves look like a shivan/vasudan hybrid.

hmm... interesting... :wtf:

its actually a somewhat fun game, though :)

Well the shooting a beam from it's eye is somewhat familiar and the brown colouration doesn't help but apart from that it's not that similar.

Post by: Vertigo1 on January 04, 2005, 11:56:04 pm: Sorry to bump this up, but I have to correct something.

1. That 'thing' in the background infront of Worf is a Grigari soldier.

2. In that screenshot its not firing anything. That 'laser' is nothing more than a lasersight (ala Predator).

The Fallen is actually a pretty fun game. Sure, it can get repetitive sometimes, but its neat to play every now and then. Definitely better than any of the other trek-based games save for "25th Anniversay" and "Judgement Rites".

That being said, the only part of that warship similar to the sathanas is that it has four prongs on the forward section. The rest looks awefully similar to the planetkiller in TOS.
