The Descent-Network site for FS2 has lost its domain name. It lost it on 4/11/05:wtf: (http://www.freespace-2.com)
Does anyone have what was on there available for download, specifically the Shivan, Terran, Vasudan comparison Pic?
-
What Shivan-Terran-Vasudan comparison picture?
Don't you need this site?
http://www.freespace2.com/
-
It compares there size, there is a Terran Marine on the left, a Naked vasudan in the Middle and a pissed off-looking Shivan on the right.
The Descent Network site is unofficial and contains a s**tload of tools. (VPView etc.)
-
Have you tried the Image search of Google?
-
Yes, but with no results.
-
I found the Pic (http://descent-freespace.com/goodies/gallery/species/all0001.jpg)
The site appears to have moved to http://descent-freespace.com
-
We need to know numbers.
-
Numbers for what? :wtf:
-
Heh, i like that pic. I wonder what vasudans wear for clothes.. and if they did.. hehe.
What do you mean the site moved there? Wasent that domain\site (the last one, the desent one) always there and running?
-
According to An0n: "The Vasudans and Shivans don't wear clothes because they told the Serpent to **** off."
All I know is that most of the content from http://www.freespace-2.com is now on http://descent-freespace.com

Vasudans, IIRC, wear some sort of armour plate in the briefing cutscne in FS1, that's about it.
Albiet, it makes sense; Vasudans evolved in a very harsh desert climate and have tough skin to match; the main reason for humans wearing clothes in the first place was likely protection against the elements, especially cold, so there's no equivalent need for the vasudans.
-
And before some asshat goes on about genitalia... :rolleyes:
It's probably like Reptiles. Meaning internal. So there. No more need to discuss that :p
-
Technically, it doesn't have to be where you, er, expect it anyways.
-
Didn't say it did.. :nervous:
-
freespace-2.com was an older site like ross128, that wasn't run by V or I or THQ at all...
-
I'll thank you not to refer to Ross 128 as "old" :p I don't feel that anchient yet...
-
Uh... is there such a thing as a...not pissed off looking Shivan?
-
nope
its that eye configuration of theirs, makes them look perpetually angry
and i dont think theres ever any evidence anywhere of shivans just wanting to cuddle
-
*Carl hugs Turambar* ^__^
-
Actually, it doesn't look like the content has been moved there; all of the links I found for Freespace 2 content still point to freespace-2.com. I know that the domain for the rest of the site was recently renewed; I wonder if Heiko is planning to renew this specific domain. If anyone has any contact info for him, it might be a good idea to contact him about it.
-
There was no content moved, nor domain changed. There were actually about 5 urls that linked to that one site. The other expired, but some were renewed.
-
Am I the only one who's noticed that the domain name expired in the future?
-
eh no biggy

Obviously height and weight.

Those were Vasudan pilot outfits, worn by Vasudan pilots. Watch the lab cutscene. That Vasudan is wearing absolutly nothing.

Cause the rest of the world write the date correctly and that number would be read as 4th november to anyone except an American.
You've proved your independance now you know. You can put things back the correct way. No need to do things differently from the British just cause you can. :D

I know, but it shows that they do wear some form of clothing / skin protection under certain and quite possibly rare circumstances, which was the point I was making (i.e. that the only time they're seen wearing 'clothing' is in the brief scene).
The key phrase you're looking for is "that's about it" in my post.

Perhaps we can reach a compromise both of the parties will agree on, then? Why not just return the thirteen original colonies to the proper authorities, and you can keep the rest of the country. :D
-
Suuuuure, and why don't we return India, Israel, and South Africa, too?
And while we're at it, France can have Vietnam back, and Germany can take back Poland...
-
Why would we want America back? Think of the strain it'd put on the education department to bring it back up to scratch. Not to mention how much of a pain in the tits it'd be to convert those strange diamond shaped stadiums into nice proper footie pitches.
:p
-
Yeah, you people did enough damage, let america dig it's own grave, will ya?

You think we'd say no? Well.. Blair might.. but the rest of us...
And for the record, British control of South Africa was never as efficient or effective as in India, as can be witnessed by the current state of those nations.
