I've stumbled on a weird issue. I was reading through database, looking at Shivan Fighters, Bombers and other ships and I found one thing strange :doubt: How come an alien species have same equipment. Harpoons, Phoenix, Trebuchet, Piranha and so on... Doesn't it seem odd? :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf:
Am I the only one who noticed that? :eek2:

They're not the same. While they have the same name they're different in terms of damage done. I think V was either running out of time or too lazy to created entirely new missles for the Shivans.
-
They don't do different damage (except for difficulty levels); they're identical.

Well, the FSU team noticed it and modeled all-new Shivan missiles. :)

Not quite. Shivans tend to be armed with Harpoon and Hornet #weaks, which are in fact different.

There's also the simple fact that the player isn't going to spend much time getting close-up looks at enemy missiles, so making brand-new models for most of them probably wasn't the best use of :v:'s development time.

Well. I have been fredding for some more time than a week. But I never noticed that. Maybe cause I've never made any missions with Shivans :D
