My guess is that the "somthing else" involves one of the following
     *Animation code
     *Beamz
     *John Kerry's Pancake House™
     *Supernovas

Lets take that baby out for a spin......

Destroyable subobjects with submodel debris.

^the sathans needs that, imagine playing barirbaiting, and one of the beams is destroyed, and then an explosion knocks the whole end of the claw off, and it falls off, directly into the sathans's path. And then the sathans just flies into it breakign it in half.

That would be awesome, but coolness exists here too.

[Trivial Psychic]

I was thinking of with the pipes (as non-targettable) and the spikes as you suggested.

[Fenrir]

Holy crap, that thing rules. It has a rather Luciy-ish look to it that just reeks of ebil Shivan-ness.

Maybe.  On this model though, that would cause certain... complications.

Awesome texturing BTW GalEmp.  Love  the glowy red sections, they give it that real evil Shivan look/feel...

As Colonel O'neill would say: "Holy C**P!"

I'm not even going to try to type what Mal would say...

Oh, you'll see.

George Bush Jr. Think Tank®?
How about Bill Clintons... nevermind.
Big Shivan superweapon, one with actual protection.

[Turambar]

very evil, and it has this jumbled look, which i think is pretty shivan, because it looks like it was very purposefully jumbled, and is very fearsome

one thing i never liked was flying up next to a shivan capship and having a big, unbroken surface above me.  this fixes that

im gonna love blowing it up

In case the attachments aren't loading for you, like they aren't for me...


I may make a partial UV map for this consisting of the lavatube texture, a texture for the triangle girders, the turrets, engines, and some other problem areas, sorta like did with the Typhon.

[Trivial Psychic]

One thing that would be an interesting texture for the lavatube things, would be a translating animated texture.  The animated texture provided by Lightspeeds packs, merely does a pulsing of the texture, but would be realy neet is having the pattern appearing to originate on the main hull and then translate down the tube to the head section, almost like its some special power conduit, providing power for the forward main guns or something.

[Ulala]

My favorite vessel in FS2 and you've done a fine job. 

[FireCrack]

Translating would look raly wrong i'd say, though having a pulsating pattern that travels down the tube would be nice, I always pictured them kind of like blood vessels going to the Ravana's "head".

[Muriac]

That's astonishing. I really look forward to seeing it in-game.

Only thing that doesn't look right is the spikes on the tubes. I think they should either be a different, more appropriate texture, or removed entirely. It doesn't make sense to have spiky tubes, especially if they're "flowing".

[WMCoolmon]

I'd very much like to see the slow translation. It'd be a nice difference from everything just flashing on and off.

[Ulala]

When do I get to download it? 

[Vasudan Admiral]

Wow - I'm surprised at how well those girder sections mesh in with the rest of the ship now it has textures. Looks great.

(give it propper debris though! don't loose hull mass! please?)

[FireCrack]

^yes, i agree, for big ships having massive chunks disapear just loks plain wrong. I always find it so nice when a fenris/leviathan is destroyed and it breaks apart.
