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

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

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.

One of Kevin Arisa's versions of the Manai kind of looks like 'space fish'.

Thanks. I just downloaded the set you mentioned. Looks interesting.

Fish in space..... I just do not really see the appeal of it.
