Seriously... anyone else note that their ships are a tad too... fancy? I mean, it does match with the whole religious crusade idea, but I mean come on, the halycon and drone hosts just look WEIRD.
However, some ships I do like from the Advent are the Prodgintor, Missionary, and Radiance.
What do you think?
While I agree that Advent ships are fancy and at times a little weird but the same could be said for Vasari. And I dont think this makes them female just because its religious or weird in nature.
Well, if we want to bring "personal outside opinions" into the mix, I've always had problems with the TEC ships. So many of them are boxy (Akkan, Dunov, carrier, kodiak, for examples). Boxy ships would never EVER be made in space. The force of the vacuum on a boxy structure creates stress concentraiton points.
So really, the drone host has a cylindrical/spherical belly, which actually is a logical shape for in space. Advent caps also in general are composed of curves. So really they've more sensible. So if you're trying to say women are smarter than men (which they are), you just did.
well, the advent ought to be for girls: the entire race is dominated by women
well, a boxy shape (properly reinforced) has MUCH more space inside. This is good if you want to put as much cargo (or weapons/ammo/fuel/people, your pick) inside.
As for the Advent being for girls, who knows. Some of the voiceovers I think are cool, and some of their ships (and especially abilities) I think are neat.
But Drone Hosts?!?! These things are like giant crustaceans IN SPACE!
Take a look at the space station. Everything is cylindrical. If you made me guess, I'd say space ships will probably end up being shaped like the evacuator ( the space egg ). I say this because it's a round structure that's relatively flat that could store stuff.
Who has that picture of Josie to post on here?
I prefer Advent just because of how their ships look. Some of them are a bit weird looking, like the flak frigate. But the capitals, even the shoe/pepperoni, are just beatiful but deadly.
TEC capitals i like too. They have that heavy duty warship look, things that can take a major beating before going down. Nothing fancy, but gets the job done.
And Vasari ships are mostly very cool looking too. Personally i think the Vulkoras Desolator is the best looking ship in the game. Especially in red.
Interesting see if IC can keep the races distinctive styles intact in Diplomacy, and i'm not talking only about ships
Imagine if GM, Ford, and Chrysler designers from the Seventies designed the TEC ships...yeah, it's kinda like that.
It's probably for girls cause all their ships have curves.
.......feel free to laugh.
so what does that say about all the sport cars that have a lot of curves
Well the advent flak is obviously for girls
I just said "for girls" because of all the girls and fanciness.
I can imgine the Advent captain asking her first mate which shade of curtains goes well in the bridge.
Btw, did someone say crustacean? WE HAVE A STARFISH TOO LOL
Anyways, I like the TEC ships because they look like retrofitted trade/construction ships and it's just badass. No doubt, the Advent have beautiful ships, but I need a gentle balance of pretty and badass in my spaceships. And badass takes 1st.
wat
Well, the advent are also into neurochemicals, some of their ship designs might have been influenced by a trip. Because of it I think they have by far the best looking ships. The Kol, enforcer, and most of the Vasari capital ships of are similar quality, but their other ships just aren't the same quality.
IMO, the best looking ships are the kol, the radiance, the marza, and the stilakus subverter. ever zoom in all the way on one of these? they look like sharks from the front. so awesome
oh, the sova is pretty cool, because it looks like a real aircraft carrier. and the progenitor is nice too
I like the Kol. I wish it was called the Koi, because that's what it looks like to me. A big, powerful, steel fish.
The Radiance reminds me of a shark.
@ OP: "You shall repent!"
@ RA: Well, the TEC's theme is engineering awesomely tough ships, so it fits just fine. Also, flattery will get you nowhere.
Anywho, I personally think Advent have both the best and worst looking ships.
Radiance, Halcyon, Rapture, Disciple, Scout.
Drone Host, Jalapeno (Too lazy to find the accent.), Progenitor, Purge Vessel, Flak.
Only other ships I dislike are the Sova and Garda. It's a boat. In Space!
I don't mind most Advent looks. I believe they're mostly well done (aesthetically).Much better than some Vasari ships (namely the Assailant and the Carrier cruiser) and, sadly, most TEC ships. Assailant, Garda, Kodiak... seriously, no matter how mindlessly drunk I was, I would NEVER believe that any sentient race would construct a space frigate that looks like THIS.I know the Devs wanted the ships to be unique, interesting and different between races, but this is just ridiculous.
I mean, come ON!!!

Am I supposed to be AWED by using and overgrown scooter?? WTF??
Back to the Advent.
What totaly drives me away from advent are their maniacal, crazed, bloodlusted voices resembling obsessed, posessed and retarded girls that watched too many Power Rangers episodes.
power rangers is so STUPID.
YOU WILL FEAR MY OVERGROWN SCOOTER FLEET!!!
Aw, I always thought the scooter frigate looked like a scorpion. You've totally ruined my vision.
Yes, the Garda looks retarded. But I like the Kodiak a little, and the Sova a lot.
The only pleasant Advent voice is the lady who says "Planet development complete" and other crap.
Oh, and the Halycon is hideous. What is the deal with the Advent and seashells, crustaceans, and starfish!?
I forgot to mention; the Advent colony vessel is my favorite Advent vessel. It just looks awesome.
Advent colony frigate is like... half a ship.
I do have to add that the Kodiak is awesome. It also fits the backstory pefectly.
Boat in space:
Brick in space:
And if I had my way, the Advent would be even more fanatical than they are now. Such as getting buffs for killing civilian vessels and such.
Imagine the terror people see by the mile-long death scooter!
Some of their voices are really well-done, though. And it is hilarious to hear the Revelation yell "REVENGE!" when you tell it to attack. Or with the Radiance Battleship.
Click: "Unleash our wrath!"
Attack: "FEEL our wrath!"
Though on the Advent ship designs, most of them do look very pleasing. The Progen and Halcyon are especially beautiful ships that fit with their theme. I'd think that Advent ships look more 'fancy' is because of the Unity and general technological advances. I mean, TEC ship are essentially flying boxes with guns taped to them, and Vasari designs seem to rely on looking fearsome, and could also be outdated. The Advent had 1000 years to plan revenge on the Trade Order, and their ships show it.
Nothing beats the supreme beauty of the Sova Carrier, though.
The vasari missionary ship is the best looking
why must you bash the little Garda? Yes, I agree, it is not a particularly nice-looking spacecraft, but its piratey cousin is FAR BETTER!
Yarg, me mateys! Plunder 'n' booty off the port bow! Avast ye scum-ridden planet shaggers!!
Yea that is pretty funny.
Arr, there be a bomber flurry ahead me mateys, open up the flak cannons and increase the antimatter reserves, ye mutant life forms!
there be monsters here. (<- Oh, for the days when Sins will have SPACE BUGS OF DHUUM!!!!)
