Title: Looking for a shivan ship
Post by: DarthWang on April 20, 2008, 03:17:01 pm
I don't want to download it, I just want see the name of it and maybe a picture. It was from a custom campaign I played a few years ago, it was a destroyer or larger size, sort of shaped like a gourd with a curved stem. I think one of the mission objectives might have been to inspect it, or get near it for some reason.

Here is my (incredibly poor) attempt at drawing a picture:

Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Hmmm...was it a good model?
If it is, I may be interested in downloading it lolz.

But I haven't played enough custom campaigns to have any idea what it is (that drawing isn't very helpful  :lol:)

It wasn't quite as good as the professional models that came with the game, but it was okay

We are in dire need of Shivan ships.

The only Shivan ship that even comes close to matching the description that I can think of is the SCa Shiamak.

I'd post a screenie, but I'm on the wrong computer. I'll post one at least by tonight (say, five hours from now?).

That name sounds familiar. I think that might have been it

It's the one that looks like a big worm and vomits out hordes of fighters.

Well, it could be anything, but what has me questioning is that... tail thing.

You talking about the scorpion?

I doubt its a Scorpion from this description.

No, it was a custom ship, not one from the games. I think it was an SCa Shiamak, someone post a picture of it if you have one please

There's a picture of a retextured version here: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,50408.msg1069780.html#msg1069780

*shamelessly plugs own mod*

But the Shiamak isn't even used in any mod...
Its in INFR1, but it doesn't appear in the main campaign.

Plus, trying to get near a Shiamak for any purpose is suicide unless it is friendly. That thing's got 100 turrets (mostly annoying missile batteries).

It appears in ITDOH.  There was a mission where you were supposed to attack it, then scan its subsystems.

Doesn't exactly fit your description, but I can understand if you haven't seen it in years.

If you rotate it, it does.
