Scrin concept. assault carrier., something ive been working on since yesterday. Options

[ChielScape]

its the first time trying to make something this complex completely by hand, and its a PITA, but it has its advantages.

[Blacksilence]

Concept Looks cool, For the first time in PITA. AWESOME TRY.

[ChielScape]

for the first time in PITA.... lol?
something tells me you dont know it stands for "Pain In The Ass"

[Team Black]

het that looks pretty good- are you thinking it could be a lander or something?

[ChielScape]

*points at title*
"Assault Carrier"
well, i think its used to grow pumpkins with purple dots in midair, but i could be wrong.

[Team Black]

Pumkin bomber FTW

[ChielScape]

ROFL

[jadems]

If we couldn't make it an Assault Carrier, it could be the mobile warfactory with the Ticktank=yes tag.

[Team Black]

Ticktank=yes has to do with AI behavior IIRC, as far as when to deploy & undeploy in situations

[jadems]

I thought it was the facing of the unit when it deploys? Or was that for buildings.
Anyway, it looks pretty good to be even a warfactory.

[Lightstorm]

Ticktank=yes has to do with AI behavior IIRC, as far as when to deploy & undeploy in situations

we'll need to apply that to our deployable scrin base defenses

[ChielScape]

Finished

that looks like its from halo
anyway nice

[Lightstorm]

its a cool vehicle but no offense, i doesn't look too alien in my opinion.

[ChielScape]

theres reasoning behind it, LS. for the scrin to even have spaceships, they must be a technologically advanced race. since the laws of nature are the same everywhere in the universe, it's not strange for their technology to somewhat look like our own. apart from that, noone ever said they arent Human.
after playing prey, ive been playing with the idea of the scrin being humans too. this would explain the wars amongst the "aliens" themselves, as humans have a tendency to slaughter eachother.
it would also explain why Kane so desperately looks for them, wants to meet them. because those humans know how to exploit tiberium, and use it as the next step in human evolution. they would look different from humans, due to the tiberium mutations, and therefore be like the 'shiners'. i believe this could actually fit into your own story perfectly, LS.

that would be purely coincidential. Im not really a Halo-man.

LOL, yaeh, the purple, way too covenant-esque. And the hexagons are always cool.
But are the Scrin going to be purple? That might need to be recoloured to keep away from Halo.

[ChielScape]

rainbow-aliens then?
here you go.

[Lightstorm]

i dunno i'm pretty sure that WW wanted the aliens to be well alien. not human.

[ChielScape]

ohyeah, theres those WW screwups too. ¬_¬

[Lightstorm]

not only that but i don't like the shape, i'm ot sure what but something abou it bothers me

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

The design doesn't look very alien. It looks like an earth spaceship with the owner being a fan of dragster and flames.
I thought we stick with the idea of the Scrin beeing like bugs and their ships having an asymmetrical shape like the crashed ship.
like this

for the scrin to even have spaceships, they must be a technologically advanced race. since the laws of nature are the same everywhere in the universe, it's not strange for their technology to somewhat look like our own.

At least this is a game, so realism isn't something we have to think about that much. So the Scrin could use even bio-armor for their ships.
In addition, the more advance you are, the more things are possible. How can you say what's possible and what not.

apart from that, noone ever said they arent Human.

humans are boring. so lets make them as different as possible

[ChielScape]

now, if i said "[Scrin] -> [humans using scrin technology]"?

[Lightstorm]

no. i cold see GDI or the forgotten using Scrin tech but no. i couldn't see making the scrin humans.

[Team Black]

Well it's a nice design, but as LKO pointed out, I don't think it follows the scrin design we're looking for -

but with a couple a changes, I think you could make it look scrin - ish. Lightstorm posted up some WW's scrin concepts, that would be pretty helpful

[ChielScape]

GDI or the forgotten using Scrin tech

thats what i meant.

[Lightstorm]

soory chiel but i just don't like this ship. it doesn't look very good i my opinion, the coloring is good but I dislike the overall shape.
