SCYTHE in one hand, and Two guns in the other two hands.

it appears to me to be more of a stinger kind of thing, and the ship design is very organic, so it doesn't come off looking like a weapon so much as an appendage of a living organism.

also, what's everyone's obsession with 'rape barge' and rape this and rape that. can't we come up with a slightly more creative adjective.

Violent sex encounter Frigate?
Aggressive anal intrusion space vessel?
Surprise sex Shuttle?

I could go on.
(god I hope someone quotes me on this)
anyway, remade the scythe a bit

hopefully looks a little less stingerish.

Oh well.

That scorpion vibes I'm getting is not because of the scythe part alone. The culprit is the pair of claw like protrusions that are hanging out at the end of the scythe's handle.

Then you have the slithery tail things at the end, completing the insectoid feeling.

There is only one creature that has arms locked in such a manner, with a long rear-end resembling that and a inset 'head'. So, yeah.

I honestly don't think there's anyway to avoid the scorpion pose if you're going with the scythe concept. That's the problem with weapons that are at an sharp, acute angle with the handle/junction. And even then, people can barely pull off swords, daggers and spears as it is.

I suggest giving the bugger two scythes. Extend the 'head' and move the weapons that were located on the now missing 'right dual arm/claw/hand' onto it, and completely remake the butt to avoid resembling anything that can be mistaken for a scorpion stinger.

Hmm I'll do that, but I'll rename it and make it a practically new ship, since its gonna be that way.

Oh well, listened to the Song Souljacker while making this one, I guess Dreamscape is next.

Personally, I was going for a insect like thing, I just tried to pull it off as like a hybrid robot reaper/ insect.

Anyway, BACK TO THE SHIPYARDS

that ship with the scythe would look really neat if you broke it up into 2 ships right where the tip of the laser thing connects to that arm, and gave the main body no movement or turning, and also made the big laser stationary, but have it pivot around the circular section. if you spawned the ships in right, you'd have a ship with a movable laser cannon.

Alright, all done.

The Dreameater

Armed with two Star's Blood Reaper cannons and 15 Netherlight beam guns.

The Dreameater is of a smilar design and build as the Souljacker but features twin reaper burst cannons along with a much higher destructive payload. It loses some of its point defense capability but makes up for it in raw strength and power. The Dreameater gained its name from a strange effect it has on organic life forms. Most of the Dreameater's components came from a Psi-communication vessel and as such still has a strange mental effect. Organic lifeforms that wander near it have the thoughts, ideas and dreams pulled from their mind and absorbed into the Hivemind of the Amalgamites. Whether this was an intentional design or just a fluke is still unknown

Any ship which wishes to attack or even approach the Dreameater must have at least level S5 psi-shielding. Any less and the vessel will be left like all those before it, drifting aimlessly through space as its crew starves to death, their minds lost to the ether.

lol its got a goat head...but nice beams. Section use is a bit random in my opinion but you can work on that. The tail at the back needs the most work, too much repetition, but it would be improved if you added more detail to it.

Noctis · Post by **Noctis** » Thu Oct 23, 2008 12:34 am

HAAHA YES QUOTED FUCK YES

anyhoo okie dokie, I will attempt to make the tail and other parts out of different parts and repost the results.

Noctis · Post by **Noctis** » Thu Oct 23, 2008 2:11 am

okie dokie, remade the tail, added some color. Though it does still mainly need to be repeating parts since, you know, feathers are repeating parts.

Calm down. Plenty of people are quoted, it doesn't mean they all throw a party about it.

Edit: So that this post isn't entirely useless, i think the goat head looks HORRIBLE. Please try something else that doesn't make me feel like clawing my eyes out with a rusty spoon.

dude, er, in case you didn't get it the exclamation was in jest, because I said I hoped someone quoted me in their sig with the various rape quotes and then someone did.

the joke

your head

also, ok, redid the horns at least but "it looks bad" is not really great criticism without saying WHY it looks bad.

I'm not a real fan of the goat head at all. i'd just say loose the horns.

HAAHA YES QUOTED FUCK YES

who quoted you, and where? I want to see this.

Look up five posts.

I'll agree on the horns though.
