Title: Hatred of Vasudans
Post by: Snail on August 06, 2006, 10:11:39 am
Why does everyone hate Vasudans? I don't know anyone who actually likes Vasudans at all but Raa (if he even does). To all of you who hate Vasudans, :headz:!

What? Vasudan racis- er... specism on these boards! Ye Gods!!

That's it, i'm calling the National Association for the Advancement of Fish-wuvving Vasudans! That's right, the goddamn NAAFV!! I call for an end to this discrimination that has befallen our scaley brothers and sis- uh... brothers, for I have a dream that they should not be judged by the colour of their skales, but by the type of fish they wuv. For, indeed, are we not all fish-wuvvers are heart? When pricked, do we not all... wuv... fish?

Vasudans are quite cool, even if they are a bit superstitious. What I don't like is how so few ship models are created for them, compared to Shivan models and especially Terran models.

Models for species

Terrans: 80+
Shivans: ~50 or 60
Vasudans: ~45
Ancients: 20
Nightmares: 4

These are totally eduated guesses on my part, do not expect them to be exact. I'm including in here models from retail, Hades Combine, Inferno, and Nukemod.

Well, Vasudans are boring.

Albeit I'd note that I think I must have made a good 30-40+ Terran models in my time....... so those values definately aren't exact :D

Your poll seems to disagree with that observation.

Love Vasudans.  Still thinking I'll produce a no-mod mini-campaign about them after other projects are completed.

Vasudans rule. The campaign I used to be working on had the player as a Vasudan.

As for why there aren't more Vasudan ships, maybe it's just harder to make them. I would really like to see high poly versions of the Typhon and Hatshepsut though.

Vasudan ships are hard to design! They have non-human architecture!


What's this about hating vasudans?
Title: Re: Hatred of Vasudans
Post by: NGTM-1R on August 06, 2006, 06:12:48 pm
All of the campaigns I'm making myself feature a Vasudan as the player. :wtf:

Yeah, Vasudans are class. I love that mission in FS2 where you're scrambled to protect a convoy with a Sobek escort under fire from a Moloch and a couple of Nahema wings and when the Sobek goes down it's with the line;

"Win the day or we dire for nothing!".

Makes me cry.

And of course then there's the extra's video of the Zod opening a 100% natural can of whoop ass on the human.

I think that was Exodus. Can't remember now.

That video was awesome, me agrees. *watches Vasudan grab Terran by the head, raise him up and literally crush his face to the floor*

The mission was, yes cobra, Exodus (Sp?). Muliplayer mission. Hard as hell. The godam lambda transports always die. Man can that mission go horribly wrong... comical at times.

I like vasudans, but id side with my race over theirs tho. Naturally. Tho im kinda in the 'were both = races' feeling (honoring the GTVA), except that were slightly better :D.

No it isn't. That line's never said in the campaign.

Said in Exodus. Cobra was spot on about the mission even if the quote was somewhat reversed.

The message name is "Oh poo we ARE dead" :lol:

Wow... I thought everyone on this forum hated Vasudans. Must have been dreaming again... Oh, and who's the oven company here?

On the options, where there is that Vasudan in the bubble, he will have box that says 'headz'. Watch the Silent Threat videos to see more headz. I can't get vasudanswuvfishies to work either, though.

I wouldn't take one as a significant other or anything, but I certainly don't hate them.
 Besides, they don't exist! :D

On that note, has anyone made an NTF campaign in which the player can indulge in the wanton slaughter of countless innocent Zods?

IIRC, there weren't any Vasudan craft in Dunquerque. But Kara and Cobra were both right--it was indeed Exodus, just as the Shivan bombers finally toast the corvette.

Surely the wanton slaughter of ZODS can be achieved by adding the "no traitor" tag to all the retail missions.
Good times :)

Actually, maybe he does. He just didn't start the rebellion because of it. :D

lol, i was only joking. I don't remember posting that I hate vasudans ? Show me that post, it was probably made in jest.

Vasudans are great... i wish there were more missions where you could actually play a vasudan.

Post by: Mars on August 07, 2006, 06:51:27 pm
I don't hate Zods, but I hate their fighters and their stupid takeoff on the perfectly good Subach HL-7... their bombers rock though, and the D version of the Mekhu is good.
Title: Re: Hatred of Vasudans
Post by: Charismatic on August 08, 2006, 01:35:48 am
Lol Kara and Cobra were credited for being correct that it was Exodus. But i was the second person to be correct, and kara was the third. Lol.

About Bosch: We do spend alot of time fighting the NTF on our own ground. Didnt they mainly focus on vasudan tho?
Is there any command or briefing telling of NTF doing damage or attack runs on Vasudans or V. occupied teritories ect?

Ok fine they exist ( ::)), time for all you photoshoppers to use the Vasudan model and show us EXAMPLES of WHY you HATE Vasudans...

(like how they smell like fish in the long bank lines,  make you extra hungry when you're waiting for food at Red Lobster, ect...)  ;7 whatever...

Post by: Snail on August 08, 2006, 04:55:42 pm
I don't like your signature, Getter Robo G. It insults snails...\

ANYway it looks like less people are anti-Vasudan than I thought. And actually, the Mekhu is one of my favourite weapons. Goes well with a Maxim on a Serapis, with double Harpoons. I killed a lot of Shivans with that :nod:. But I have to say I hate the Akheton SDG, the Terran Disruptor cannon is MUCH better (faster firing rate and lower energy consumption. The Akheton probably is better, but I like the Disruptor better anyway).


Is there any command or briefing telling of NTF doing damage or attack runs on Vasudans or V. occupied teritories ect?

Yes, the NTF attacked Cygnius Prime at Deneb, which is Vasudan.
