I am saddened that the Salvou is not in that picture.

you mean the solvalou from xevious? if it were up to me the metarion would be replaced with the x-lay or black fly. maybe even the caesar from star soldier.

This thread should have been titled "options and bits" although the darius ship wouldn't fit in then.

There are links to lots of nice models on this page. Look at this one, for example. And here's the Ikaruga ship from that same page.

One thing I'd like to see one day is the Xevious movie that's mentioned here.

You know in actual space there is no benefit to having wings and aerodynamic styling on a spacecraft since there's no air. Enjoy your MILITARY FETISHISM!

did you just accuse opa opa of being military fetishization?

(because if you did i should point out opa opa never travels in space.)

yeah, if you're going to go that route it should be noted that most shooters do not take place exclusively in space. most of rayforce's areas take place on or in the earth.

In that case, if the ideal of aerodynamics is a flying wing, then a big hippo thing with little wings stuck on it (like those r-type fighters) is the opposite! It would just sink like a stone! They should either make no concessions to aerodynamics or go completely the other way. Shit or get off the pot. That's my advice to you, R-Type!

I'd also like to point out that OPA OPA would not be able to fly with those tiny wings.

Maybe the wings are for corrections only. Like the little fins on a missile.

Maybe they have anti-grav and the wings are just to save power.

Lifting body.

Best example.

Still, at least the Force pod is realistic.

Yes! That's the one!

Didn't the NES have a couple more of similar games?

Wow, Otocky looks amazing. Sort of a proto-Rez!

Says here it's by Toshio Iwai who made Electroplankton.

Wow, what game are they from? Is it Radiant Silvergun?

I just discovered Fantasy Zone starring OPA-OPA is available for the Wii Console. Cool!

Harvey, they're from Darius. Remember that name well!

I keep forgetting, what game is that ship on the right from? (And why are there two different Vic Vipers?) I remember it's a way less high-profile game than the others. You'd think it would be Thunderforce, but nooo....

(Just talking about visibility here.)

i was hoping to see a solvalou in one of these sets, myself. though a thunderforce ship would be just dandy.
