Probable Scythe in recent art

[Xaine]

It was said by several different people in the new thread, but i thought i'd make another one for the people that aren't so on the ball, and also so we can have a discussion about it.



Top left of the picture there.

Personally, i think it looks great. I really embodies the VS as the alien-heavy faction. In PS1 the VS seemed like a group of people who had found AT, and just started to use and follow it. Currently for PS2, it looks like this alien tech has much more influence on their culture as far as designs go, looking at the Max and the Scythe. They really seem to have their own design ideas, where as the NC and TR have their designs firmly in the 'human' camp. Not that there is anything wrong with that

Also, first thing that came to my mind when i saw it?

We've all seen Battle Star: Galactica...



Hehe.

Massive props to T-Ray and the art team, the VS stuff is looking especially amazing.

What do the rest of you think?

Looks like a diagram for a uterus.

[XPquant]

I dunno, that kinda looks like a dyson to me.

Yea it was what i imagined it to sort of be, i thought it would have been more triangle wings rather than a curved(even with the name like Skythe[see what i did thar]) i figure it may still have the typical VS scaled design, but they maybe moving away from that to favor a more sleek look.

what do i think? we need a VS turnaround.

Flying sea turtle?

I was envisioning more of



But the design still fits the Vanu theme. Isn't bad at all IMO.

I really liked the look of the Wraith Dart in Stargate Atlantis actually, that would have been cool.

The thing i'm most looking forward to seeing is the weapons. Given that the aircraft look so different, i'm guessing the weapons will be very unique too. Which means lasers for the VS. Picture a few of those with giant Pulsar like cannons on them doing strafing runs across a base at night time.

Looks cooler than the mossie.

For shame, devs. Clearly stolen from Supreme Commander.




*tsk-tsk* I'm telling THQ.

(I'm just mad they didn't use my suggested name.)

thats prettymuch what i thought it was gonna look like.

Now lets just hope the NC or more likly TR dont get brawler guns.

[Grimster]

Well I won't put too much in it until we see the actual Scythe.

It is still concept art and honestly I would say the concept art is meant primarily for the structure that is shown on it. Yes it could very well be concept for Scythe but it could also be just some simple art to create a atmosphere around the structure.

Guess we will hopefully get to see that when it is VS theme week.

[TRex]

I'm not even sure that is the scythe.

The base structure in the picture is supposed to be huge , the 2 landing platforms on either side a big enough for a galaxy to land . From the scale of the aircraft, which is even further away , it would make it 2-3 times the size of a galaxy.

I think its just a marker to give picture a more dynamic feel .

I just hope it doesn't end up looking *too* alien. The Vanu are human like everyone else, I don't think their designs should stray too far away from the "traditional" look of tanks and aircraft.
