The flamers are the ones who should be getting in trouble and ridiculed, not the topic makers.

I disagree.

If I posted a thread that is obviously provocative and I got flamed, then that's fair.

[General Battuta]

Calm down.

Don't be patronizing. It's absurd, especially on the Internet, and especially when your own statements are fairly simplistic.

t's just in your head. I don't like that.

Everything is just in everybody's head.

   Get out of my HEAD!  AAAAHHH AHHHHHHH! You're not real!!!! 


    So anyway, what the heck is the H for in SH Gargant anyway? Shivan Holymoly Gargant? or . . . Shivan Hwaaaaahhhh**** Gargant?

[Stormkeeper]

Hive, iirc.

[eliex]

Are the Shivans like super-evolved insectoids or something? Like the Tyranids in W40k except when they die, they are actually dead.

[Stormkeeper]

No idea. So I'm not sure why they used 'Hive' for the Gargant, if that is what the H stands for.

Have you ever heard of the Hive Mind theory?

Have you ever heard of the Hive Mind theory?

       I suspect the Sathanas was a hive anyway. There's a reason it jumped and the horde of other shivan forces in system did not when Capella went boom boom.

There were 80 Juggernauts...

The Hive refers to something centralized. I don't think the Sathanes were hives while the Gargant is likely to be a Hive thanks to its dimensions, invincibility and weaponry.

          Why not? The Lucifer was effectively a hive from what we know from the techroom. The Sathanas seemed less a warship and more a huge transport with big guns on the front. The Shivan sacrificed most of their warships in Capella just blasting the GTVA.

Every Shivan ship bigger than another plays the role of the Hive. A Demon is a Hive for a cruiser and corvette group, the Lucifer is a Hive for anything below its size, etc. etc.

The Gargant appears to be the definitive Hive.

[Stormkeeper]

Have you ever heard of the Hive Mind theory?

Hmm. I see. So that's why the Gargant was given the "SH" tag.

[Mobius]

It's the definitive Shivan warship.

Maybe there will be bigger ones in the future, who knows(Super Hive, Mega Hive and so on...)

I'm expecting SS Humongous (Shivan Sun) to make an appearance and go supernova.

You're forgetting the SG Rahu, Shivan Gas Miner Galaxy ship.

Indeed I am, old chap. Pardon. Which, of course, is a mere escor ship for the SU Peewee, the ultimazor Shivan Universe class ship.

How do you know about that ship? I thought only the INF SCP members knew about it...

There is a spy among you who has provided me with much information, which I shall use in my... oops, I think I said too much.

          If that were true why did the loss of the Lucifer doom the Shivan fleet? Surely there were other Demons in the area.

We don't know if there were other Demons. Shivan ships might have also been spread in a wide area thus making the coordination nearly impossible.

The Lucifer ventured deeper and was supposed to come back, but it didn't...leaving its forces spread here and there...

EDIT: They were sitting ducks that that point...
