Shivan = FSAA TO THE EXTREME

[Flipside]

Shivan ships need to look 'injuman', barbs and spikes where you'd expect smooth planes, and eerie shapes on the hull that cannot be defined in purpose. If anything, I'd say that FS1 Vasudan ships don't look Alien enough. I liked the FS1 shivan ships, they had a real aura of menace, Much like the crew of Shivan ships, the ships are 'Insectoid' in form but not in purpose.

Another important aspect is 3-fold (120 deg.) symmetry and triangles, or occasionally 4-fold like the sathanas. Except 4-fold is pretty terran.

From original FS2 i liked Ravana very much. First time when i saw it in my FRED2, i thought it's prototype Shivan warship with uber beam in front. I was disappointed when i've discovered it's real use, but still model is very good.
From mods i like Diablo, Vindychal and Chimera.
