I made this for Guardians campaign a while ago... anyone know about what happened to it? If he isn't using it you guys can have it... WARNING: its only got one LOD! Eek! Back when I didn't care about that I guess... and it may need a bit of fixin up... but here it is anyway...

Hmm... different.

As a general rule, Shivans should be black and red, with grey detailing. This one is grey with red detailing, so it looks like an early Terran/Shivan hybrid.

I like it lots!

It's definitely Great War-era Shivan, something to fly alongside Manticores and Shaitans. A little tweakage would help make it fit in more with those and make it less Terran.

Take the two forward mandibles and expand the ends, so they look more like the arms on the Manticore or Scorpion. Add a couple spiky fins, swept forward or backward, like the ones on the Shaitan or Dragon. Then make the engine a solid red, add some silvery light-gray detailing, and voila.

Or you can leave it as-is and make it a very early Terran-Shivan hybrid craft. Woolie Wool might be interested in it.

in my opinion it looks terran/shivans more because it's tech details than for the grey/red, it also remind me a drahlti, but is surely nice looking

Its BLACK. I brightened it so you could see the details on the texture maps.

TrashMan · **Reply #5 on:** September 11, 2003, 02:46:51 pm

Great...with a re-texturing it would look just like the Ascart light fighter... since I have it only as a sketch, this would work great...

Can DOTA have it?...give ...give... please...

Liberator · **Reply #6 on:** September 11, 2003, 03:16:38 pm

Looks suspiciously like a Kushan cloak generator turned on it's side. Good job though.

Cool. does this mean you're back, then, Max?

SKYNET-011 · **Reply #8 on:** September 11, 2003, 06:50:27 pm

Awesome job.

But like GE said, it's a bit too terran.

And does anyone else notice that it looks a lot like the Kushan cloak generator from homeworld?

Sure you can have it. Just PM me an email addy.

What's a cloak generator? well I never played homeworld.

Oh yah, I'm sort of back. Not doing any massive work... just offering a few ships I already made, I can do good texturing and voice acting... so that's what I'm up to.

'doh, I understood that you didn't want to make textures in your other post....
well, if you want, a texturer would be really well accepted in the SW team:)

We really need to teach you Lightwave7.

I wish I could learn LW 7.......but modeller crashes the computer resulting in a hard reset........

Rampage · **Reply #14 on:** September 12, 2003, 06:29:30 pm

It's definitely from Homeworld. The design is predominantly Kushan. Check out the Attack Bomber from Homeworld 2. It's definitely identical.

And yes, it does look like the Kushan cloak generator. There's no guilt in admitting it.

He made it years ago - not everyone converts from homeworld you know. And besides, everything is going to look like something. When I look at it, I see a manticore similarity, but that doesn;t mean he copied it or was even thinking about the manticore when he made it.

Here's the Kushan Cloak Generator..

IDIC strikes again! (Gene's theory of Infinate diviersity of infinate combinations) In another universe a similair design is independantly created by the Shivans.. LOL!

WOW! IT'S IDENTICAL!!!!

Nico · **Reply #18 on:** September 13, 2003, 04:27:13 pm

well, it's a simple but nice design. I remember playing with that shivan ship a years or two ago

SKYNET-011 · **Reply #19 on:** September 13, 2003, 08:00:17 pm

I'm just saying that it looks like the cloak generator, not that it's converted.

I think it's a darn fine model.
