Why flying statues?

love the rebellion mod, but I've one important question. Why are there flying statues for the Advent? The Rebels Titan is horribad, couldn't you have created something more flying saucer or give them an advantage is fighter craft instead?

 

Also the two sides of the Advent are way too similar, unlike the TEC.

Hey, leave my Eradica alone. At first I thought the butterfly look was kind of weird but its grown on me as the Archangle of death its supposed to be.

I like the Eradica and at this point, graphically is one of my favorites.  It's particularly spectacular in large fleet battles where you just see beams shooting in every direction.  And flying saucers would have looked terrible.

They're actually quite different.  The Loyalists are the Advent as you knew them before with a few new tools like auto-spawning culture and the Coronata.  The Rebels are more focused on renewal and resurrection.  Reanimation and Return of the Fallen are actually quite good techs.

Angel statues are scary!

The Eradica is probably one of the best designed ships in game.

It's more of an aw factor, how you you react if you saw this massive humanoid monolith bearing down on you? You'd piss yourself.

 

Also it would be like fighting beside something like the statue of liberty, proud to fight beside, pissed if it's damaged

The Eradica is beautiful. I just wish it's designs matched your faction color. Oh well.

The ALT's "face" is super creepy though (in a good way). It's like an angel with a demon's face.

Yeah, well, I think it's crap. I don't mind the Advent Loyalist Titan, just can't stand flying faeries.

Okay... your opinion.

Personally I dislike the look of the Eradica, mainly because of the horse like head, and coupled with the butterfly wings it may be a little too much. ;)

Although I have to say, it probably does look better that a ''flying saucer'' would...

You can even use it online without any problems, so basically it's the best mod ever.

@ GoldenLegion

Well, we differ on flying saucers, you seem to have posted a flying spinning smart cup bra insert.

 

I was thinking something more aerodynamic and streamline, like a larger version of the Advent starbase without the moon crescent, with engines.

Personally I like the look of the Eradica more than the Coronata, but I just like wings.  If I had to make an excuse as to why flying statues: the Psi are pseudo-religious, so the ships would be a representation of how each imagines the Unity made manifest.  Which, of course, is the perfect way to bear down upon those heathens who threaten their worlds.

It's my dot, if you're quoting me, try to remember to remove it. I really ought to contact someone in forum support about it.
