This is what would happen if the Ravana, Lamia, and Demon had a bastard child;

-
Awesome!
Is it for TotT?
(and isn't it Vetalas? or is that plural?)
-
Is that a kitbash or original model referencing some known old goodies?
-

Well we're sort of pending on a vote.. lamia head or ravana head :(
Edit@Herra: Its mainly the ravana and lamia models disected and thrown back together, but some of it is custom such as the turrets and underside bays
-
Lamia Head.
With a Ravana head, its a symmetrical Ravana, which is boring.
-
Yes, but we already have a station which is basicly an enlarged lamia head... :rolleyes:
-
Could be, but this just looks awesome. Oh well, if you really want something else, perhaps a Sathanas head would look good too.
-
No. This one looks much better than a Sathanas or Ravana ones would.
-
flip it so that the lamia is rifght side up. it just looks wierd now...
-
Let's have a look at the belly.
-
Now that monster looks really mean :shaking:
-
Holy Hell, that looks /amazing/
-
Alroght, Hellstryker, guess it officialy stays the way it's posted.
To be featured in TotT.
-

I like it this way, adds a bit of a twist. Plus most the tiigran ships are laid out with two wings below one wing on top

EDIT: SCa Vetala does not approve. (of true****)

-
lol, quit complaining about that **** and get something else! :p
-
Ehh not that great IMO but okay I guess.
-
lol, quit complaining about that **** and get something else! :p
I use sketchup, I just did the true**** render for the lulz
-
Does SCa mean "Shivan Carrier"? It looks like the front should have 3 LReds, making it a heavy destroyer.
-
3 MReds, actually. And although it does boast massive firepower it's a SLOW ****er, slower than a levi. and besides all that it has 6 fighterbays
-
Six? I only see four fighter bays (two Ravana-Style, two Demon-style).
How powerful are your MREDs?
-
Look closely at the two on the sides, they're actually 4 bays
-
They're identical to the one on the port side of the Ravana, which is counted as one fighter bay in my books, as it is one subsystem and one set of spawn paths. Meh. Its your ship.
-
looks great
it could spawn multiple configs
with lamia head its elite (think shivan SOC)
with a ravana or a demon head, it would look more shivan though
-
This ship should have not been published...
Don't spoil too much anyone...
-

Just wondering, where did you get the model files for the Ravana and Lamia. Moreover, are there the non-pof models for the HTL Demon (TrashMan's) and HTL Moloch floating around somewhere, or will I have to regurgitate them from the POFs?
-
They were probably converted from the POFs. There are a few methods of doing this, I find that POF -> COB -> Blender -> 3ds works fine for SketchUp.
-
Dude.. just do POF to 3ds with Lith Unwrap.. you don't need to do all that **** :p
-
Forgot about that ... :nervous:
-
Looks awesome :drevil:
Any chance of a public release for other mods to use, their are few good Shivan ships out there :(
Hope so :D
-
It'll come out along with some unpublished nasty ships in chapter 2 or 3 of the TotT, which is in 5-8 months probably... but it's coming out for sure.
-
Why couldn't they have used that instead of the fugly sathanas?
-
The Sathanas isn't fugly! >.<
However, this thing IS nice.
-
Well I think he means it makes the Sath look fugly, and I would have to agree... even if it is a disected ravana/lamia
-
I don't get what's so good about it... IMO it's just pug ugly (not that it's a bad ship, just ugly).
-
It looks like a fusion between the two ships, try stretching the head to make it look original...
-
It looks good IMHO.
-
But the stretching could improve it...
-
Maybe.
-
It's a very nice model, I don't want it to be the child of a Ravana and Lamia
-

Not a child, a bastard.
-
I don't like that word for obvious reasons, ok?[/color
-
****, man, I'm really sorry about that. :(
-
Man, don't be such a ****ing retard, Snail.
-
lol.
IMO, its fine as it is. Stretching might ruin it.
-
Man, don't be such a ****ing retard, Snail.
How?
-
Well first off if I stretch it everything gets stretched, turrets and fighterbays included, and besides, it'll just make it look ugly

i think mobius meant just the head
-
Doesn't matter... the head has turrets...
-
For once I agree with Mobius.
-
Doesn't matter... the head has turrets...
You could remove and replace them.
-
As I said stretching the head will make the model look like something original, not a fusion between a Ravana and a Lamia...
-
you mean make the Lamia head longer, so that its sorta like a 3-pronged gargant head?
-
Yup.
-
Stretching the spikes and not the whole head should be enough.
-
Yeah.
-
I'm not sure, but...you could even add more turrets on the stretched spikes.

:nod:
-
Glad to realize that my ideas are welcome :)
Any info regarding its capabilities? From the title I know it's a carrier...
-
6 fighterbays and a few MReds IIRC.
-
We're thinking of a Subspace Rift now (to be seen used by Lamias in the demo, which is hopefully due to be released any week- possibly this week). How powerfull, and why as powerfull will remain a mystery for now.
Everything else (maybe other than more screenshots) shall also remain a mystery untill it's released with a later chapter of Teeth of the Tiger.

May I know why Lamia cruisers use that kind of weapon? Isn't that illogical?
-
Dude, if you knew that, it would spoil 1/3 of the demo's, and 1/4 of the whole mod's story... :p
-
I don't mean the reasons, I mean the fact that a cruiser can do that. It's illogical unless you backup that action.
-
The fact that the Shivans are uber cool?
-
As far as I know only a ship as big as the Sathanas can do that.
-
And what's to say smaller ships can't do it?
-
"The Sath has just been obsoleted! No more messing around with those logistical nightmares known as juggernauts to make subspace rifts and blow up stars! Get a cluster of cruisers to do the same thing at 1/100th the cost!"
-
Obviously it's not going to nuke stars with it, rather cut ships to pieces like the Lucifer was cut'n'half in the FS 1 endgame cutscene. And it's a subspace rift rather than some yet other uber beam because it looks cooler in-game and makes the story better too.
And I have a d*** huge temptation to write about the fact that the Shivans seen in FS 1 and 2 are
HAHA- gotcha :p
[/color]
-
So...the "Subspace Rift" moves like a blob? O_o
-
Nope... it works in a very similar way to the ones the Saths used, only the small cruiser rift hits ships (instantly). You'll see in the demo.
-
6 fighterbays and a few MReds IIRC.
also 5 AAA beams... very hard to bomb
-
:jaw: :jaw: :jaw: :jaw: :jaw: 5 AAAs? That's way too many!!
-
Not really, it depends on how much field of fire they have, and where they are located.
You could replace every single one of the Orion's top and bottom guns with AAAs and it'll still be just as weak to bomber strikes, since the sides are undefended.
-
:jaw: :jaw: :jaw: :jaw: :jaw: 5 AAAs? That's way too many!!
/sarcasm
-
*facepalm*
Sarcasm doesn't travel well over the web.
That, or I'm sarcasm impaired.
-
The second one.
-
5 AAAs really isnt that many for a destroyer
the hecate has six
the levi has 4 and its a cruiser
even the aten has 2 and it only has 6 turrets total!
-
But for a Shivan destroyer, five is a lot.
The Ravana has 2
The Demon has 2
The Moloch has none
All Shivan cruisers have 1
Not that it matters though.
Five SAAAs are roughly equivalent to 4 AAAfs due to SAAAs being weaker.

Yeah, and its a carrier... should be better defended against fighter/bomber wings than just a destroyer.
-
5 to much?
the phobos of INF has 10 AAAfs... and its a frakking corvette
yeh it is inferno but its still way overpowerd (but that makes it sorta cool though)
maybe 4 or 6
-
It isn't too much, IMO it's slightly underpowered.
-
Now if they were ULTRA-AAAFs... ;7
-
It isn't too much, IMO it's slightly underpowered.
Yeah, so would I, if I didnt' bother to look at where they would be... seems as how the entire rear end is covered, as is the top and the bottom, and let's face it, you don't want to be in front of it when it fires... :beamz:
-
Looks really good, any estimate of when we'll get to see some in game pics?
:yes:
-
When the TotT chapter one is released, and all I can say on that is before next year
