Ive heard alot of talk about 'Gigas' , 'Gargant' and other ships like this......and im wondering what everyones going on about.
I remember seeing the TDFx Apocalypse, and that thing was pretty nasty (can we get a pic of it please? i lost mine :( ) , but apparently people have made ships bigger then that thing.
And talk in the inferno threads of a ship 150 km in size ? ?! :wtf: :eek: :eek2:
Need pics, explanations, stories......INFO !
In the words of Johnny Five , from short circuit ....
"Input ! Need Input !"

You can find the SSJ Gigas in Inferno R1 (http://inferno.hard-light.net/R1.htm), along with its terran counterpart, the TSJ Icanus.

I don't even know if I've made 16 threads total in 5+ years of posting here.

He spawns threads like a flak gun spawns...flaks.

Well, a goat, a midget, and a transvestite walk into a bar...
No, I'm sorry. I can't match the level of hilarity in the previous post.

Perhaps, but you're close to filling up the entire first page in Freespace General here :p

That was just too great.
Honestly I dont know much about those giant capships but is something that big actually worth it? I mean, we all saw that the Colossus was good for nothing against the Shivans and that the Sathanas can be destroyed if you just take out its beam cannons or get behind it.
-
they're fun, none the less.
-
I see many references to the Gigas and the Gargant in this first page :blah:
Don't forget the Vinaashak and the Vyndi....Vindh.... the other SSJ.

is there ANOTHER SSJ??? :eek2:
i thought shivan supercaps were only Sathy, Amritaya, Gigas, Vinaashak, (Gargant)
EDIT:
maybe the SCa Shiamak? (the worm)
-
It's another SSJ. It's name is similar to "Vyndiachal" but ends with "ar".
That's what happens when you don't read posts in the Inferno forum, Edivad!
-
Vyndiachal reminds me of a bomber.
<runs on the INFERNO thread snd looks for SSJs>
-
A huge bomber....
VC(Vas Com) the 150km long ship will be mentioned in INF and will be used only as a background bitmap.... I know that there are problems with huge objects that also have turrets.
-
SSJ Vidyadhar. Smaller than both the Icanus and Gigas, but cool ship anyway.
-
Gah! Snail beat me to it. :mad:
Before you ask: the Gargant, Vidyadhar, and the current version of the Gigas are not released yet. And no one knows when they'll be released (if ever), though it'll likely be a very long time.
There was also an old old old Vasudan ubership called the Sechat-Thor, which is available, but looks like crap so I don't reccomend using it, except maybe as a collector's item.
-
You forgot the old Gigas...it may be used and is similar to the Gargant(that is similar to the Sathanas).
-
The old Gigas has a lack of maps. I think giving it a few more textures here and there could actually make it a spiffy ship, noh? And giving it more than just one forward gun, too.
BTW, the ****at-Thor is just an oversized Aten with a Sobek head grafted on. It's crap and don't go hunting for it.

Plus, it really pissed off the Norse god of Thunder.

How is everyone overcoming the fact that a capship can only have so many turrets, meaning that the larger it gets, the more dispersed the turrets become, and the larger the blindspots are? The SWC was having trouble just with a 14.7km SSD. As they say, 'a small one man fighter should be able to penetrate the outer defense' of anything so sparsely protected.

Bigger FOVs and more effective weapons, like Flak or Beams in place of laser turrets. That, and just bulking up the hitpoints :D
