I'd guess the Basilisk, cause it's probably the worst fighter

I think the Shaitan, it looks like such an odd departure from the normal Shivan design features.

Ashema, no possitive attributes at all.  Has to be the oldest and least developed

The Shaitan, I always think of it as just about ready to be "phased out" of the Shivan fleet, then they throw it into the fire instead..

Either the Scorpion or Shaitan, since they were the first Shivan ships officially encountered by GTA forces and were both phased out in FS2.

I'll say the Shaitan, as... well the Scorpion matches Apollo quite well, but the Shaitan. I take down a wing of shaitans in an unshielded Anubis. I think [V] had no idea of the gameplay issues, when the developed that thing. :headz:

I think the manticore may have been the earliest ship being developed, if you look at the maps, Manticore and Basilisk still have a little green on them

No, The Manticore is older, it was alos first encountert in the FS1 intro cut scene, as you can see in LT Ash his flashbacks of the Manticore chasing him...So Manticore it is.

Dammit, this actually makes sense.

All right, you've convinced me. Its the Manticore.

Just becuase the Manticore is the first ship seen in the game dosent make it the oldest Shivan craft.

No, but the cut-scene were one of the first things [V] did in FS1.
Like the Apollo was first supposed to be (perhaps) a two-seated bomber.

Indeed... the Shivans were around >8000 years before FS1...

I thought this was suposed to be a poll on wich shivan fighter\bomber was the first one for V to get done with and have working in game, not wich one has been killing things for the largest strech of time in the FS universe

That's why I said Basilisk, general purpose fighter, nothing too special

I voted Lucy as it's sort of the 'Big Bad Guy', and it's good to make up your big baddy first. Could be wrong though.

I vote for nothing, coz how the hell could you know which shivan ship is first? if a dude from another planet lands on earth, will he wonder if the F22 or the S37 is the first plane? lol, He would be surprised to see the plane of the Wright brothers :p

I don't think he'd really care how old the F22's were. He'd be too busy dying.

After re-reading the question I think yu are right, the question is a bit badly worded though  :)

The fact that you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.
