Isn't the front supposed to be a lot more "messed up"? Or were you trying to do the way the ship looked before the Reavers meddled?

Like I said the mesh remains unfinished...too many other projects going on...

Actually, I believe the ship that was ripped apart wasn't Reavers, hence the screaming on the comm traffic.

I suspect it was a ship one of the reavers dragged all the way home to the pack, just to devour them there.

Sneakers fellow here brought up what I was thinking of. I don't believe that was a reavers ship, the trans air was picking up some major distress, from where? Certainly not reavers are crying women. I didn't hope to be called to math class either. What I intended to drag across was that the 10% "affected reavers" should half be women by normal standards, and so far seen only men. As for the alpha dog you mention, they don't seem to hold high regard for their own lives, considering they were pushing through the crevices of torn Serenity even though ones ahead were being knocked one by two by threes. None of them were taking safety precautions (of course not). I gather there is no remorse for themselves, naturally not for others. Question still nags me.

Again, I am a fan just as so many here rushing to the aid of Firefly thinking I'm trying to knock it, it simply is not the case. Seeking some clarification and some awesome points of view. Let's not get too hasty. Looking for more input on a more positive light, please others reply as well!

That's the problem; the line in the movie is "about a tenth of a percent." There is a huge difference in the numbers of potential reavers between 10% and 0.1% of the approx. population of 30 million. 3 million vs. 30,000 original reavers. The latter being correct assumption via the line in the movie. It's a nit-picking point however, and it doesn't affect the meat of your question.

One would think so, however, we don't know the exact effect of the PAX. It could bring out the "reaver" trait more often in males. Also, the nature of the way they attack (rape their victims to death) could have weaned out the female reaver population early, along with weaker males. Pure speculation on my part.

Now there's the useful feedback I needed. I think this is a very good point. Thanks!

I think a lot of the seeming inconsistencies with Reavers work themselves out when you realize that they didn't just become beastial and animalistic...they became evil. They still have the human ability to think and work together (they would have to, to live in space), but their purpose in life is to destroy everything in a way normal humans would find most horrible.

That's a very scary thought.

Oh, and I think the rendering of the Trans-U is fantastic!

Folks at Vega Strike forums are trying to make a Open Source game using the series as a basis...
It would be nice to get the 3d model of the reaver mesh as well--- the one you linked to is the Serenity mesh... also both are very high poly count--it would take a skilled modeller to bring them down to about 4 or 5 textures at no more than 64,000 poly's. (though the interior can be removed)

Also we would love some volunteers to help orchastrate the mod--getting the data into the engine, etc

VS has had a lot of success with various sci-fi universes like Vega Trek and WCU

is the place we're orgainizing at
