Well, did command ever catch one alive? Did they ever actually find out? Our bording party got their asses kicked in hallfight.

[Carl]

look in the tech database in FS2. shivans have been captured.

Given the scarcity of food, Desert creatures tend to have a slow metabolism, and therefore a longer lifespan.

Btw: Personal oppinion on Terra/Vasuda:

Most likely one of those stereotypical anime things...
"OMG THESE ALIENS....! THEY'RE JUST LIKE US!"
And....conveniantly, they become allies.

[FireCrack]

Yeah, if you rule out the whole 14 year war and the great war...

[QuantumDelta]

Since when were those two different wars?

And uhm...I don't understand where you're coming from;
Since they said it was a break down in communication that caused it.
Something about improper customers and maner on our part.

Eishtomo pointed this out somewhere; Vasuda is also girls name which means 'Earth'.......

I think the specific cause of the TV War is left unstated; it's kept deliberately blurry (in case V ever did a prequel EP), and possibly - like World War 1 - there's just not a clear single reason for it.

There is an ani of a Shivan ripping apart a Vasudan fighter in space, so they are bloody strong (but not invincible; the crew of the Iceni took out a few of them after all).

Where is this ani?

Silent Threat, I think (in a secrets directory)... there's a still from it in the FS1 credit art IIRC.

[Kie99]

Ahh that explains it, I haven't got silent threat

[Hippo]

That isn't nescessarily a bad thing ...

[NGTM-1R]

I am the only one on this board that likes Silent Threat, aren't I?

[Andreas]

No. I like ST as well

[Nuclear1]

Silent Threat was...

...lackluster, IMHO. The Loki was pretty cool, at first, then I just got sick of them by the end of the last mission. The missions were all just a whole lot of separate missions with their own plot, not one flowing into the other (exception being the Einsetin-->Myrmidon mission).

Fortunately, ST: Reborn will fix all of that.

[Carl]

even when you had to put the rubber band around your joystick to keep the fire button down while hiding in the Hades' blind spot?

[NGTM-1R]

I kept my wingmen (and the Orff too) alive, and we Harbingered it to death. It helps to hit the weapons subsystem with a Harbinger and then go after the turrets.

Four, five minutes tops.

Har Har! I used the port and shot the time compression up to X64, took less than half a minute!

[FireCrack]

The hades aperently had a production line on it i read somwhere.

[NGTM-1R]

The Lokis are apparently endless, though I might tear the mission out of the Port VP and take a look.

[Carl]

they are indeed endless. the sexps command it! their words are truth!
