I originally got the idea to make a non-humanlike alien species after power-watching B5 over a week. Then I saw that legless Zerg whassname in StarCraft. Then I decided to make them avian (GW stole that idea too!) and 3-legged (GW didn't steal that idea. It's a matter of time. Where's my tinfoil hat gone?). It kinda snowballed from there.
Thankfully the next week I got an school assignment to write an essay on my own alien species. The thing wrote itself and I got an A! And that's why the Polish can't build a decent rocketship.
(Is off to bed, with it being midnight and all)

also if you think I stole the name "Jormundgar" from starcraft, (someone accused me of it over in ASVS when I posted a Fenari* Order of Battle), then please read your Norse Myths.
*Fenari, my ASVS STGOD race, a bunch of Norse/Celt obsessed mock were-wolf space vikings. Originally created in play sessions of Starfleet battles, and 40k Rogue Trader. Basically all of their vehicles have names from either Celt or Norse mythology. hence their fighters are Hugin and Munin classes etc. (actuallly, Hugin are the bombers/Recon planes, while the Munins are the fighters)

Good choices I think the Cobras are fast bastards with good torpedo anmament and the Mars is a carrier so it can hurt stuff at range

Unfortunately, the Cobras have all the durability of a wet paper bag, and can be outgunned by Imperial Transports at close range. A Mars is good, though - long-ranged guns, launch bays, AND a Nova Cannon. They covered just about every angle when it came to long-ranged nastiness.Typhonis 1 wrote:Good choices I think the Cobras are fast bastards with good torpedo anmament and the Mars is a carrier so it can hurt stuff at range
Incidentally, if Nathan's going along, does he have any abilities that would help him target the Nova Cannon? For that matter, is the 'guess-range' aspect of the Nova Cannon supported by the fluff, or just a game-mechanics thing?
