If Vasudans are adapted to a desert environment, and before it was destroyed their planet was mostly desert, then why do their ships look like fish?

[FireCrack]

Umm, if you ever see a fish that looks like a vasudan ship, move murther away form your local power plant...

[DarthWang]

I mean really, look for example at the Typhon, Serapis, etc.

[Cobra]

the typhon kinda looks like it came from a sideways goldfish, and the aten looks like a sand crab

[Taristin]

None of which look fishlike. In fact, they look more reptilian and insect like than anything else.


The fish reference is to how the Vasudan mouth works.

[Nuclear1]

I always got the idea that Vasudan vessels looked more desert and reptilian-based, which explains ships such as the Serapis and the Aten. I suppose if I look a little harder at a couple of them I can see fish (Simpsons-esque fish, but fish nonetheless...)

[DarthWang]

Well they look pretty fishy to me.

[phatosealpha]

Those aren't fish.  Those are what birds on vasuda prime look like.

[Ghost]

Vasudans love fish, though!

[Charismatic]

But not as much as birds. If birds look like fish there, then they love birds and not fish. And so their fish dont look like fish, but more like..

um you decide

but to the point. {V} did not send their developers to stare at fish and come up with great Vasudan ship designs.

"Whats the name of the ship based off of the golden fish?"
"Goldy"
"Wha?"
"How about the.."

um.. no.

[Nuke]

vasudan ships seem to look like alien sand dwelling critters, like turtles and whatnot. stop using v's jokes as cannon

[WMCoolmon]

Their ships are more smooth and curvy, which would make sense for a civillization that's had to worry about sandstorms and such, in all likelihood.

'sides, considering the scarcity of resources, perhaps Vasudans have emphasized quality over quantity?

[DarthWang]

I still say they look very fishlike, with all their fins and whatnot.

[NGTM-1R]

They look lizardlike, I think.

[DarthWang]

I think the Moloch looks lizardlike, with all those spiky frills like on those collared lizards.

One would think that, until they read the tech description of the Anubis.

[aldo_14]

Or just look at the Aten......

[NGTM-1R]

Or you could look at the tech description for the Typhon and the performance of FS2 Vasudan ships...

[Nuclear1]

...which in no small way happened to have been developed during the time of an alliance with the Terrans, who actually had sturdy cruisers and fightercraft with afterburners...

[Taristin]

Actually, the FS2 Vasudan craft, barring the Mentu, outperformed most of the Terran craft of equal size and role. And the FS1 Vasudan craft were something to fear. What wasn't, however, were Anubises, and the Vasudan Light Laser.
