Reading throught this thread, I realized that you keep the Basilisk the worst. I am on the same opinion, just keep in mind you base your opinion(s) on a ship you haven't flown. Fighting against the Hercules meant less challange than the Basilisk, because the Herc blows up quickly compaired to the Basilisk, and I think they are at the same speed(I haven't had a look at the TBL) But you can fly the Herc, and you keep it even better than the Basilisk. What if you could fly the Basilisk? I am sure your opinion would change.

I am surprised nobody voted the Seraphim, or the Nephilim. I wouldn't fly any of them.
OH! I base my opinion on a ship I saw being flown only by the Ai. I would try it, and make my opinion based on that experience.

Funny, I didn't notice anything amiss - until I saw Setekh's posts in the thread. Then I looked at the dates.

Hmm... to close or not to close, that is the question, blah blah blah...

Meh. Keep it open.

Until we start spamming it, again. Then lock it.

Was there a most usless vasudan craft thread?

LAM3O · **Reply #48 on:** April 24, 2003, 12:25:27 am

The comm node of course, though i'm sure in freespace 3 we would have learned it is their most important.

One of the main problems with the Shivan ships is that all the Shivan primary weapons really suck and they use crappier versions of the same secondaries as the GTVA. The light laser fires fast compared to the other two but is still slower than the Subach and does little damage. The heavy laser does twice the damage but fires at less than half the speed, and overall performs about the same as the light. The mega laser does double that of the heavy (Kayser-type damage), but fires even slower, making it not much better.

You haven't seen my remade Shivan weapons....

For me, It's the Ashema. It is worse than the Bailisk, by a long shot. In fact, I hate it so bad I have banished it from my Ships.tbl file (makes room for other, better ships :thepimp: )

Agreed...at least the Basilisk you can forgive because its from FS1 and it was a damned heavy nasty fighter. With Avenger cannons, it did take several hits to knock down and its missiles were just brutal against freighters and transports. But now with fancy Kayser cannons you can blast through em in two or three shots

No... No more vote-bumping! I've opened this thread three times thinking it contained something new but to no avail.

TrashMan · **Reply #52 on:** April 27, 2003, 02:30:12 pm

I re-did the Shivan weapons and ships...the Ashema rocks by me....The original sucked dough!
And the Basilisk is cannon fodder.... needed a little tuning...

I also have my own TBL data, where Shivan weapons and ships are far better. In addition, I could edit the POF of the Basilisk, giving it two additional turrets, to make it as effective with lasers than the Herc Mk I.

I think the Mara is the best fighter of the shivans and the Seraphim the best bomber.

That's right, but I have doubts if the Seraphim is the best bomber, my personal subjective opinion prefers a more maneuverable one, like the Taurvi, or the Nahema.

I am still surprised nobody has voted the Nephilim yet.

FreeTerran · **Reply #57 on:** April 29, 2003, 12:20:47 pm

My personal favorite bomber is the Tauvi too.

Would be good to be able to fly it. I open a new thread with the question 'How can I make a ship flyable?" in FS Modding section.
