Title: SSG's
Post by: boewolf on March 25, 2008, 11:18:37 pm
In a recent hard drive crash I lost the Shivan RBC.  The Annialator that I did a long while ago.
Does anyone around here still have it?

reskin looks more shivan IMO.  :yes:

I must agree that it does look a lot better your way.  But texturing is still something that I can't grasp...

I think the original looks more Shivan, because the FS1 Shivan ships will always be the "true" Shivan style to me.

Original sorta makes me think of a terran thing (just the skin, not referring to model) that has been captured by pirates, who gave it a working over with red spray-paint.

Besides, didn't, in the FS1 intro, Lt. Ash say, "...they were these death black ships..."

Apparently "Death Black" is a shade of red and grey, if you're talking about FS1 =P

If you want death black then why not take everything that isn't that predy red nebula texture and put in a pure black on it its place?

Manticore rather  :p

May I inquire as to what is this? Is it the super shivan hive of doom TM? Where will it be used?

Sorry: Didn't realise it was a sentry!

park two or three around a node and point them in the direction of the ships you want torn up...  Watch, enjoy, and see your fate.

Annihilator Beams are basically SReds. So each one is like 4 Cains or a Rakshasa with an extra beam cannon.
Title: Re: SSG's
Post by: Droid803 on March 27, 2008, 05:00:53 pm
Rakshasas are weird. They should have 4 SReds since, otherwise, its frontal beam layout is asymmetrical, where the rest of the ship isn't.

guess its for game balance.
Title: Re: SSG's
Post by: Snail on March 27, 2008, 05:04:00 pm
Yeah I always wondered why only 3 beams fired. Then the last turret would fart out a little red blob.

Yes, I think so too. Even with 3 beam cannons, the Rakshasa is superior to any GTVA cruiser. With a fourth beam on it, it would probably be able to take on a corvette from the right angle. But initially, it was clearly designed with four beams.

EDIT: It would have superior firepower to the Moloch. Which leads to the idea that the Moloch has been nerfed as well.

4 SReds... Meh, can't be THAT great.

It might be interesting swapping out one of the Moloch's SReds for an LRed... :drevil:

Or putting an LRED on that "eye" turret on the HTL model (its a blob turret by default. how lame.)

Can someone provide a link for the retextured version, I'd love to have that coloured version  :eek2:
Title: Re: SSG's
Post by: Flaming_Sword on March 30, 2008, 09:20:51 pm
Currently it only exists in my mod on my hard drive and places I backed it up to. It'll be released in the next version of my mod, but I guess I could release it separately if enough people wanted it. If not, I can provide instructions for editing in PCS2 (it's a straight texture replace). Thoughts, boewulf?

I'd like to put it in my mod, so if you could send me a link to get it I'd be greatful, tho I think the community would want it (we're always in need of more shivan stuff  :p)
Title: Re: SSG's
Post by: Flaming_Sword on March 30, 2008, 11:39:27 pm
I still have to get around to testing it in the actual game to see if it works how it should. :P

I do like the reskin.  It does look better than mine.  Go whichever way you see fit.

Also its boewOlf

Its Beowulf, actually, the correct spelling is.

I know its supposed to be Beowulf.  But I changed it to my own specs.
