I think he's talking about that giant Ancient installation "Pyrgos" from INFR1.

I just classified that thing Level Omega, just like the evil fellas at Command.

If seriously though, the last thing we need are super-giant ships. The Dante and the Vishnan ship at the end of BP were just for the plot- they weren't meant to kill each other. In my opinion, such giant ships shouldn't do battle in FS and die. They should be used for the story instead of battle and die purpose.

In other words, ships larger than 6km are not to die in FS. That goes for the Gigas, Gargant, Icanus, Apocalypse, Dante, Pyrgos and all the other ships that exceed the 6km length mark!

Well, just because they're props doesn't mean they can't die.

It is also a six to twenty-sided object used in games such as Snakes & Ladders. :D

I have no idea what that is.

By the way, is that "Scorched Earth" a ship model, or is it just a background?

The Scorched Earth is a background bitmap, IIRC.

Naah.  They just look bad, and if they are too far away, you can see weird artifacts on them.  Basically, background bitmaps and skyboxes are much better options.

If WiH has a battle involving a Shivan ship PD class, my computer is totally screwed.

Dungeons and Dragons is very similar to Warhammer 40k table-top reading from Wikipedia.
