Ive heard alot of talk about 'Gigas' , 'Gargant' and other ships like this......and im wondering what everyones going on about.

I remember seeing the TDFx Apocalypse, and that thing was pretty nasty (can we get a pic of it please? i lost mine  :( ) , but apparently people have made ships bigger then that thing.

And talk in the inferno threads of a ship 150 km in size ? ?!  :wtf:  :eek: :eek2:

Need pics, explanations, stories......INFO !

In the words of Johnny Five , from short circuit ....

You can find the SSJ Gigas in Inferno R1, along with its terran counterpart, the TSJ Icanus.

That was just too great.

Honestly I dont know much about those giant capships but is something that big actually worth it? I mean, we all saw that the Colossus was good for nothing against the Shivans and that the Sathanas can be destroyed if you just take out its beam cannons or get behind it.

EDIT:

It's another SSJ. It's name is similar to "Vyndiachal" but ends with "ar".

That's what happens when you don't read posts in the Inferno forum, Edivad!

A huge bomber....

VC(Vas Com) the 150km long ship will be mentioned in INF and will be used only as a background bitmap.... I know that there are problems with huge objects that also have turrets.

SSJ Vidyadhar. Smaller than both the Icanus and Gigas, but cool ship anyway.

 
Gah! Snail beat me to it.  :mad:

Before you ask: the Gargant, Vidyadhar, and the current version of the Gigas are not released yet. And no one knows when they'll be released (if ever), though it'll likely be a very long time.


There was also an old old old Vasudan ubership called the Sechat-Thor, which is available, but looks like crap so I don't reccomend using it, except maybe as a collector's item.
