I think there are too few shivans here ... there are millions of them :).

Understand: There are only a few Shivan models here.

The other models with the exception of the last two are also missing textures.

well, there's also a lot of swapped maps, obviously.
as for the comments about blockiness, etc: I don't give a fcking damn.
New species? there's no new species in all those ships, save for the unx ship ( the blue one ). The ships mapped with vasudan maps are, guess what? vasudans!
The ships are not mapped like GTA ships coz... well, I'm not gonna explain what OTT ships are again. I suggested that they should be remapped when I handed them over to maeglamor.

ok, venom, about the fronts of the ships: no terran fighter should have a square front, like the one I just posted, it should have some sort of curve to it, but not a simple flat front.

ok, let's put it simply: all that was done for OTT, not for the FSupgrade originally. I designed those ships with my own tastes, and at that time, I was doing my OWN campaign, and gave no damn about what people would think: if they didn't like the deisgn, they could just avoid the forum and forget about the whole thing. I see no reason why a ship should be rounded, it's space, a flying wall would handle as well as a perseus in space. Mind you, I like blocky designs. The angles of the pics above don't help, in some cases. two obvious exemples are the Anan and the Oni, I do agree they don't look so great from that angle. I posted a poll about the favorite light fighter in OTT a while ago, it featured the raziel, the oni, and a vasudan ship ( don't remember which one ). The poll featured pics from  an angle, slighly from the top. the Oni scored second, with only a couple hints of difference.
The public for OTT, and only this one, was happy with the designs I came up with. Now I understand that it won't please everybody for such a different project as the FSU one.
So I would suggest Maeg to post better pics of each ship, and run a poll such as "keep this, scrap that".
Now I'm done with the topic, I've provided the things, and I won't worry about anything anymore. If you don't like the designs I've done, be happy, coz I won't do anything else, if there's other ships added, I won't have anything to do with them.
SCREW CANON!

A whole lot of these look like V concept art. Not that that's bad mind you...

the hydra, the benkei, the ennead and the serpent are volition concepts. The Gorgon too, but I didn't make that one ( credits to dark for that gorgeous ship )
The GTEXD is a model from sandwich, too.
The Anan ( the bilboard ship ) is a beafed up benkei, so in fact it looks pretty much alike, and so is much based on V concept pics too.

edit: the mihos: it looks absolutly ugly in modelview and the likes, it always had its maps messed up in it, never knew why. the maps are normal size, 256 color PCX, I checked it countless times. looks fine ingame tho.

I'm actually happy with how the Vasudan capships are looking in the end ;) Maybe my whining and complaining and feeble reskins worked. :)

I think the red and blue on the Baku is a little too intense, lowering the saturation to about 50% of what it currently is would make it look better.

that's the Legion: the orion with the hole in the FS2 intro. not obvious on that pic because of the black background. It was a scenary prop, not really a "ship" per say.

deepblue: it's a dropship.

The people that dislike these models can bugger off. They have no taste.

Venom, as usual, your work is inspiring, and incredibly well done. I'm especially fond of those Vasudan ships. They rock beyond belief.
