no live captured shivan to test onto?? quite difficult to beliave.

Nobody said anything about captured Shivans in this thread.

I said that a Subach would be excessive since Shivans on foot didnt have shields.

Rodo just said that the best weapon could be tested with captured Shivans.

[Snail]

Well the only known Shivan specimens were tested by the GTI, but seeing as the GTVA also captured the 4 Mara fighters I'd say it's safe to assume they have other specimens to experiment on.

[Blue Lion]

They could have captured unused fighters

[Snail]

The point was to find live Shivan specimens to experiment on, not their fighters.

[foolfromhell]

Even if you do get control of a Shivan ship, you need a former NTF Admiral on board with ETAK knowledge, or you will never be able to get terran-capable commands on the Shivan ship when in the field.

[Snail]

I doubt anyone other than Bosch, and a few of his friends, like Gibson and Sarno, knew anything about ETAK. I don't think anyone else really knew what he was planning. Even if they did, they certainly wouldn't know how to duplicate ETAK. And even if you did, who's to say the Shivan ship will listen to you? It can probably tell who's who.

Have you ever played The Second Great War Part 2?

A former, high level NTF Admiral gets command of a Fenris, and without bomber or fighter support he hijacks a Sathanas with the Fenris,  then he takes control of it with ETAK knowledge that he conveniently had (since he was a high ranking NTF Admiral), and finally, blow up a bunch of Shivan ships and refuses to hand it over to the GTVA.

That was when I stopped playing that retarded campaign.

[Snail]

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, SGWP2 is canon. (no sarcasm)

I imagine they were mighty interested in the fighters too

The question is boarding Shivan ships.

Fighters dont sit around INSIDE ships...

[Blue Lion]

yes but we don't know where they got those 4 fighters from (unless I missed that bit)

[Snail]

All it says is that they were captured early in the nebular campaign, nothing more.

[Blue Lion]

So it's possible they were unused at the time of capture

[Snail]

Yeah, but the GTVA probably have a few other specimens.

[foolfromhell]

It's really not hard to stick a few GTW Akheton SDGs on fighters and send them on a killing spree.

Ships disabled left and right. Then you tow them back to GTVA command, kill or capture the shivan inside, and reconfigure the ship.

Really not hard to capture a fighter.

Am I the only one who thought "Enter the Dragon" was just plain hard?

[Snail]

It wouldn't have been if all your wingmates were armed with S-Breakers and Disruptors.

[Droid803]

My retarded wingmen kept killing Arjuna 1 with interceptors before I get a chance to tell them "ignore my target". Its ghey.
