Has anyone ever even heard of the AI Pyrgos?






Found its POF file loitering around in Inferno's VP, so I copied the AI Thera's table data, made a few adjustments (this thing is HUGE), and voila! here's a ship Installation I'd never even heard of.

How big is it compared to that gigantic Shivan Hive thingy?

 
Hang on I'll check.....

Dimensions of Pyrgos (w/h/l):

31km
51km
31km


Dimensions of Hara (w/h/l):

38 km
34 km
42 km


So about the same size, I estimate. Taller, but thinner.

This sounds pretty dumb, but when I first saw the Pyrgos briefing icon (and later the model) a while ago I began to think of Ancients as octopus-like creatures. lol

I knew about that thing long ago. Trust an insane Inferno fanboy. ::)

Anyway, I converted it into a gigantic cannon once (Mjolnir in the middle). :D

I would like to have a tbl entry...for future use.

Actually you wouldn't. I just made the Thera and replaced its hitpoints to a few hundred million or so.

 
I don't think it has turrets or anything else... though an installation of that size wouldn't need any! :D

Like Snail said, just copy the Thera's table data, increase hitpoints and closeup pos (so you can actually see it in techroom), and there you go.

That model reminds me of something from ST:TNG's Pilot Episode.

Well I think it looks like the Protoshelp of CW:Red Sun.
