If they really wanted to, they might have been able to. Use destroyers to blow up its engines, then get a horde of fighters to disarm it, and a horde of Argos to board it. Of course, this would not work if there were reinforcements or anything.

If they couldn't stop it from going to Capella, what makes you think they can disable it's engines? It's not like the Sathanas is just laying about doing nothing.

[Snail]

Yeah, it is impossible.

[Colonol Dekker]

We're all screwed. Time to build some sleeper ships and pull a freelancer before they turn up.

[S-99]

What happens if someone jumps while you're hooked to them?

You go jump out with them too.

[Rodo]

Jaja just played the mission where commander dont know who captures a sathanas jajaja, great plot turning XD

well but what about adding some escape pod to the corvettes?

I was also wondering how is it possible to have 5000 people over a corvette (let's say deimos) and NOT HAVING any scape pods attached to it`s hull... maybe you could put some scape pods that follow the line of the design of the ships hull and add it as another different subsistem. (I used the deimos example as its preety easy to fugure out were the escape pods could be)

[Stormkeeper]

mmmm maybe so... It's true is a massive vessel, but is it 100% sure its crowded with angry shivans?, maybe it's just like the saturn in PI, big warship but small crew..

anyway, that was an example I wasnt thinking about capturing a sathanas, just intended to make a point...why scan if you can have the hole thing and make retroingenier.

I guess human kind is not up to the task yet...

Go recruit a couple hundred Predators to help you.

[Snail]

Shivans have lasers too, you know.

[ShadowGorrath]

Plasma, not lasers. A laser would be a lame, weak beam.

[Snail]

Yeah, plasma things attached to their arms. I doubt a lousy predator (or a hundred predators) could stand up to a Sath full of plasma cannon-wielding Shivans.

[Colonol Dekker]

Predators have plasmacasters (shoulder cannons to the lamen).
Discs,
stealth and wristblades,
spear launchers,
net guns,
plasma pistols.........
Gauntlet plasma bolts......
Naginatas,
Mauls (*curvy bat-leth thing)
The shruiken / smart disc variant
and a nuclear wriust watch.. i

 think they could take the shivans

[Rodo]

I dont know.... having a plasma gun on their shoulder sure is annoying... maybe that's why they are so pissed of with the universe... XD

Figure una shivan having dinner and some other shivan comes and scare the **** out of it... before you know it the one in front of him has a hole in his chest, what a lame existence!!!

.. no jokes... no friendship... no allies (i would't like having a frikking plasma laser as a friend )

NowTHAT'S something to get pissed of about....

(this is turning into nonsence, sorry about that jaja but the forum sure needs a little push ^^ )

[Snail]

Uh, no, we've got enough insanity here thanks.

[eliex]

Well . . . I did start a topic a little while back about using monstroUS  genetically modified space-freaks to rush into the ship . . . hopefully not damaging too much valueables . . .

Or getting loose on the transport ship and killing the unlucky bastards who got assigned to it.

[NGTM-1R]

Just equip everyone with that squad support grenade launcher that took down the Shivan in Hallfight and don't worry too much about damage to the interior of the ship.

[Snail]

For what?

[NGTM-1R]

Taking a Sathanas. Or any Shivan ship.

[Snail]

I think the GTVA have better weapons than that by now anyways. There was quite a fight onboard the Iceni ("Shivan bodies are among the dead..."). But the Shivans win anyway, they have lasers. I doubt the GTVA can match that without having to lug them around. The Shivans pee lasers.

[Mars]

Maybe they replaced the portable ML-16 with a portable Subach

[foolfromhell]

Maybe they replaced the portable ML-16 with a portable Subach

Shivans on foot dont have shields. A Subach would be excessive. What they need are railguns or coilguns like a mini Maxim.
