Is anyone actually making a campaign from the shivan point of view? I've heard some things and seen some missions where you're a shivan, but I'm talking about a full blown campaign with all the goodies and mods! I'm just wondering, would make a pritty badass campaign. I mean I really like most of the GTVA campaigns that are out there, but I'm want to be evil for a while!!

Badges?! We don't need no stinking badges!!!

I'd play that campaign.

there was Hidden terror, but I think DragonClaw gave up.

I don't think it would be much fun! Info about the shivans communications is as low as possible  . It would really suck to hear a shivan commander saying: Alpha 1, destroy the Vega Communication Station . Someone that does that kind of campaign has to be a lot creative! Anyway, i would really like to be a shivan and annihalate the GTVA

Shivan would be hella hard to do considering you would have to do a ton of modding just to use the default ships. Including editing the table for each shivan fighter, weapon, making new communication portraits, most likely a new hud, and making so shivan ships could actually talk, which im not sure how that could be accomplished (making the grey bracket go around the ship when its talking). Pretty big challange...

Well DragonClaw only needs to make one mission but he is makeing that one mission for months now.

Hurry you B1tch

Aren't there already mods to allow people to fly shivan ships? Even if there aren`t you could say that the pilot flys a mara.
 Simply say that shivans don`t get to swap ships like humans. They get a ship and they are in it until the ship is destroyed.
 Comms could be got around in a similar way. Maybe shivans don`t need to see pictures of the shivan giving them the order. Just leave that part of the HUD black. Or you could make an ani of the ship sending the message (that would be kinda cool actually).
 What I don`t get is your comment about making shivan ships talk. If you make a message and put the shivan ship as the point of origin you`ll get a grey box same as you usually do with terran or vasudan ships.

Sort of like HW  

[Zeronet]

Make it sound like Shivan talk, those funny sharp scary sounds. Then just list the objectives or something. Actually trying to be Shivan would be hard, unless you took a Hive stance in which the Queen or something would give you orders.

[vadar_1]

Major self is hurting!
enemy parts will become self parts!

er um, scary as beast  

[Neon]

Well, I think we've already got the data to make this kinda campaign  ! Any volunteers  

Edit: I still write campaing... Wow, now i'm confused

did you find a way to extract the beast voices? cause those would make kickass shivan voices, or just use zerg from starcraft.

"How do you like my groove, daggoboth?"

[Thorn]

We got em out...
And we'll probably use them  

[vadar_1]

you were able to extract them?????? o all mighty one, show me the way!

[Dark_4ce]

Whoah, if people are actually considering to make a shivan campaign, count me in too!! On shivan talk, we would'nt necesarily need them to speak english. Hell, I'd be happy with a bunch of crackles, skreetches and howls!! Cause I'd be SHIVAN!

I like the idea that the shivan would become ONE with the ship, as in having the fighter be an extension to the body, and having the player play through the campaign in that ship. But I think that would pose some problems. I mean, it sounds cool, but I can't see myself flying through a bunch of missions in the same fighter.

On plot I think it would be great to either have an "alternate" f2 campaign, as in having it take place during the main f2 campaign. But that might get boring, so I was thinking of "once again" it taking place in the future and the Shivans finally winning. It would be depressing, but man would it be fun. Hey, there would even be a mission where you get to shoot down the GTVA's über-hero Alpha 1 and his Blue Lions in mission to destroy GTVA morale. No mercy! MUHAHAHAHA!!!

Take out the Collosus's forward beam cannons so the Sathanas has a fighting chance, pilot!
