Well of course it looks like a Basilisk. Look at the first image.

[boewolf]

All things considered I think it would make a trippy heavy destroyer \ carrier.

[Qwer]

It looks like Basilisk MK2. Everything is just like it, but wings and longer nose.

[Lone Knight]

A basilisk on 'roids, indeed. Cool, though.

Some more work done.  I didn't like the old wing ends so I replaced those.  I'm kinda stumped on how to add detail to the wing mid-sections.


This is (roughly) how the missile banks are arranged now.  It used to be that bank 4 was in the outer-most wing sections, but there's more than enough room in the mid-sections.


Shivans do seem to get the short end of the stick (unless campaign mods have been hiding their new Shivan stuff )  Maybe someone should start a community modelling program for Shivans?

EDIT: Argh, the 25% compression on jpg is making the pics messy

Looks good, but did you say it was called the "Hydra"? You may want to come up with a new name becuase "Hydra" has been used twice already (once in Derelict for their upgraded Artemis, another time in Inferno for the Shivan stealth fighter).

Well, coming up with names for new ships is generally tough, since used most of them already

THe general impression I've got is that as long as the prefix is different, than it's okay to use the same name.

For instance, the 'Inferno' fighter would be SF Hydra, while this would be a SB Hyda.

The name seems apporiate, since the plan is to have seven turrets on this craft (turrets = heads of the mythical beast)

Of course, if anyone can think of something else...

I doubt that. Shivan ship names (and ship type names) are based on bad characters from varies mythologies (Is "Demon" a friendly sounding name?) Just go through a list and find one that sounds cool.

Wraith, Wyvern, Vampire Centaur and Succubus come to mind immediately Though I have a niggling feeling that Wyvern was a bomber someone made once, and I think I've seen Centaur before as well.

[Dark Hunter]

I've got another: Wyrm.

[StratComm]

Centaur was the FS1 support ship, IIRC.

[ToecrusherHammerjaw]

How about Xaphan?  I remember reading somewhere that that was the name of the demon responsible for keeping the fires of hell burning.

As a point of accuracy, the Shivan Hydra fighter in Inferno wasn't the stealth, it was a scout.  The stealth one was the Chimera.
