Re: More Aquatic races?

IT is one of the Shadow ships that I am working on. I have recieved a couple of emails from folks asking to make them in other colors. This one was just one of the colors that I opted for in order to keep the creepy ugly look.

I have no desire to make "more" star trek sets. I just wanted to finish the set that I had started last year.

Re: More Aquatic races?

I really like that blue ship, it's awesome!

Yep, the Oxidran are friendly little dolphins. You can see them here.

SOTAS needs to be updated. If you are making a complete list, make sure to check SE.net, NASY, and my site. Several recent shipsets are either finished or nearing completion that arent yet mentioned at SOTAS.

Thanks, I had checked SotAS and noticed their absence.
Yes, it is planned to be a complete list but no, it's not me that's making it: It's "us". Anyone can edit the wiki, add pages, altar articles etc, so if you see a shipset of yours that's not mentioned: Add it!

A race of squids would be a good tribute to the Gazurtoids of Starflight.

I've done a small shipset using jellyfish pictures for a Monster "Space Kraken" Race...The shipset is called the..er.. Jellies.

What about a race of 'ticks'...?

Will they declare war with the bone-chilling message of:

"SPOOOOOOOOON!!"

Lol! How do you mod a race to be "nigh-invulnerable" anyway?

Re: More Aquatic races?

Add high emissive armor ability to their ships? Then, Shard Cannons and NSPs become their weakness (as neither damage type triggers emissive armor ability).

Re: More Aquatic races?

I am amused someone started this post. I recently have had a desire to find a shipset based on the Samurai Fighting Fish (AKA the BETA fish). The male would make a wonderful model for a shipset, or creature that actually lives and swims in space. Since space is a plasma, this is a feasible idea. Anyone know of any such shipsets? I know that a couple exists in which the ship set is the actual race - they have no need for ships, but they are not derived from fish. Two other great fish to base sets on would be the sting ray and the Angel Fish. Another question - are there any "Farscape" based races/ shipsets out there, specifically the Leviathon?

Ummm... well, not feasible at all actually, but that totally doesn't matter. The shipset you describe would be beautiful, and plenty of shipsets rely on far shakier science than that =-)

THe closest I can ome up with is the cephalopea (sp?) set, a gorgeous set of space squids that I haven#t seen in a few years now.

None that I'm aware of, but if I come across any in my comprehensive shipset-wikiing crusade I'll be sure to post here.
