Let's see how much success this gets...
I made a picture to be used in End War. Solve the puzzle and it will be revealed. (In case anyone wonders: Yes, I had too much 162)
If anyone can figure out what ship this is, the next piece will be posted. After you found 8 pieces, I will post the entire picture.
Let's start off with an easy one:
(http://i39.tinypic.com/dwxwtc.gif)
-
The two front beams of a ravana or sathanas?
-
I'd say Sath.
-
Probably a Sath. No sure though.
-
Almost definitely a Sath I'd say.
-
Indeed, a Sath.
This one isn't too hard either:
(http://i40.tinypic.com/f20mqq.gif)
-
Tauret? :nervous:
-
OOH! OOH! Its a Seraphim!
-
I'll place my bets on a Seraphim.
-
Hahaha :p
Not even close
-
Tauret or Mara.
-
Think bigger :P
-
Rakshasa or Typhon
-
Uh...the thing from that modeldump that I converted that day all that time ago?
But then it wouldn't be 'not too hard'.
-
Wrong :P
Now you're starting to think too big.
-
Lilith/Cain?
-
- The picture is not recoloured
- The model was made by :v:
- Pay special attention to the light in the centre.
-
It looks an awful lot like a Seraphim... Or a Tauret... Or... Another... Ship... Thing...
EDIT - SHIVAN COMM NODE!!?!?!?
-
Still either Tauret or Seraphim, but more like a Seraphim.
-
No, FSF told me personally it's a Shivan Comm Node.
-
No, FSF told me personally it's a Shivan Comm Node.
If he did, then you just signed FSF's death warrant :p
-
Oh, so that's what it is . . . seems obvious when you know the answer.
-
The light in the centre seems to have done the trick for Snail. He guessed right in the ED IRC.
Next one:

-

Nah, I guessed Shivan Comm Node (I was thinking of the central light) and he said that I got it right.
(http://i41.tinypic.com/2hf2qv9.gif)
Ass end of the Lucifer?
-
Nope.
-
Ass end of Cain or Lilith?
-
Nope.
-
Front end of Lucifer, Lilith or Cain?
-
Just front end of the Lucifer?
-
None of these either :P
-
Hattie?
-
Fine, we'll do this the hard way.
Ulysses.
-
Seems Shivan-ish.
Manticore/Basilisk?
-
Snail, that's gonna take you a while. (That's a hint :P )
No Hattie, Manticore or Basilisk.
-
Hades?
-
Space Hunk?
Why are the images so tiny!?!? I remember there was a "what mission are these screenshots from" thread where they were garbled, but not tiny. That was actually fun.
-
Scorpion?
-
None of these ships.
The images are full-size as they appear in the actual picture. I could make them bigger, but it wouldn't help you much.
And indeed, Stormkeeper, it's Shivan.
-
:wtf:
Not a Belial, is it?
-
No. It's bigger than that.
-
Snail, that's gonna take you a while. (That's a hint :P )
Fine then. We'll do this the other way. But it's still the hard way.
Volition Bravos.
-
/me facepalms
You killed them before the "Apocalypse" came...
-
Demon?
-
OK, I'll stop with the stupid systematic thing.
Mephisto?
-
No Demon, no Mephisto. Although that's getting closer.
It's not that Apocalypse; you have to be into FS a bit to know it. SG told me, I didn't know it either.
-
Asmodeus?
-
Dis?
-
Cain? Lilith?
-
Okay, now this is just getting to stabbing at shadows. :nervous:
-
Heh. Good luck with guessing the right thing at this rate.
But FSF's hint should have given it all away. And when he said Apocalypse, he didn't mean the mission. :p
-
I dunno, Sathanas?
-

What other Apocalypses are there?
edit -
is it the Rahu?
-
Indeed, it's the front end of the Rahu. Hard to recognize without the rotating thing, isn't it?
As for the Apocalypse:
The SJ Sathanas was originally named Apocalypse. If you look at your event log after completing A Monster in the Mist, you can still see a goal named "Scan Apocalypse Subsystems".
The next picture was so easy that I had to do some tricks to it. It's still not hard, though.
(http://i40.tinypic.com/11qgtc2.gif)
-
Yeah, I thought Apocalypse when ShadowGorrath mentioned it was a name (and just for the record, I did know that little bit of trivia).
And, Demon.
-
Hell, that was a quick response.
No, it's not a Demon.
-
Moloch
-
Yes. I won't be posting more than 1 picture per day though :P
-
Yes. I won't be posting more than 1 picture per day though :P
Why? :(
-
Cause it kinda ruins the fun when the whole thing gets finished in a single day?
-
Hm, looks like the Vasudan AWACs ship... GVA Setekh.
EDIT: I see the Moloch in the picture.
-
No, it IS a Moloch. FSF has confirmed it.
-
Definitely a Moloch.
-
Indeed, a Moloch. Merry Christmas, guys :D
(http://i43.tinypic.com/20hol10.gif)
-
Ravana perhaps?
Merry Christmas to you too, FreeSpaceFreak. :)
-

(http://i43.tinypic.com/20hol10.gif)
Azrael.
If it is, too f'ing easy.
-
Or basilisk.
-
Its an Azrael, I'm pretty sure.
-
Hmm, I think I see the Azrael now. Okay, Azrael.
-
Almost definitely an Azrael I'd have to say.
-
Indeed. Seems like the Azrael is better known than the Rahu here :P
(http://i39.tinypic.com/21ky1e1.gif)
-
WTF is that? :wtf:
One of those grooves on the Sathanas?
-
Ravana?
-
Its a space hunk?
-
It's Shivan . . . Sathanas maybe?
-
Ravana?
:eek2: Yes, one of the top spikes of the Ravana. Was it that easy?
Anyhow, more easy stuff:
(http://i44.tinypic.com/2duh47b.gif)
-
:eek2: Yes, one of the top spikes of the Ravana. Was it that easy?
Nope. I just somehow didn't think you'd put the Sath up since you mentioned it earlier in the thread, and I didn't think that End War would feature Saths.
Rakshasa?
-
Nope. As for the Saths: they will (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,58453.msg1179505.html#msg1179505) be in.
-

Guess they must've slipped my mind.
Looks Shivan. Nahema?
-
Shivan yes, Nahema no. It's bigger.
Come on people. After this you'll get the big pic. I know that makes seven, not eight, but who cares. Think of it as the home stretch :P
-
Nephilim? One of the turrets maybe.
-
... Wouldn't be a Demon, would it?
-
Reminds me of one of those retarded shivan gas miners which name excapes me.

Rahu? We've already had that but I doubt he'd repeat it.
Is it a Taurvi?
-
None of these.
-
A Cain/Lilith? Near the engines perhaps?
-
Looks a bit like the Sath's engines.
-
And we have a winner: Indeed, Snail, it's the Sath's bottom :)
The picture itself is probably a bit of an anticlimax, but you've deserved it nonetheless. Will be (in better quality) in End War, if we get it working ;)
(http://i39.tinypic.com/rjme4x.jpg)
-
Wooooow. Shivan homeworld, eh? Can't wait to blow that ****er up...
Was there any 3D rendering involved?
-
Is that Ravana crashed?
-
Shivan homeworld indeed. Landscape made in Terragen, ships are from screenshots.
The Ravana isn't crashed, it's landed. I'll leave the explanation to ShadowGorrath on that one :)
-
That many Saths kinda scares me.
-
And EIGHTY doesn't? :wtf:
-
Well, I couldn't target them on sensors and kinda far away too so ......
-
There are...
Six Gas Miners
Five Juggernauts
Four Corvettes
Three Transports
Two Comm Nodes
and a Ravana.
-
I'm starting to wonder if we should just scrap TotT right now. What a damn shame.
-
And a partridge in a pear tree.

Go together.

C-c-c-c-c-combo breaker!!
-
Ah... And hey, don't scrap TotT. The FS universe is in dire need of a new species. Evidence: the number of retextured-Nightmare races :P

[joking]Scrap it and give us the content :D[/joking]

What are you talking about? There's only one that anyone knows of as of this point in time, if that. Shhh...
-
Oh? What's that?
-
Aldo was making some HTL nightmares.
Then he went a bit wrong in the head and deleted them.
-
Yeah, there's the nice NF Banshee with the semitransparent membrane, but no HTL Nightmare Caps.
