Cat_Jam Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 So I was flying around the new Archwing mission when suddenly I came across this. It translates to "OBELISK"-- A monumental pillar... But of what? Why was this ship so special such that it was considered monumental? What's Frohd Bek up to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherIcarus Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Welp the Grineer just stepped up there game by building dreadnoughts, the Corpus probably need to answer this or face a dark future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeahhh most likely. I bet we will get more info in an upcoming event. Hopefully with archwings included. ^.^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalotroopermanX7 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Obelisk, [ob-uh-lisk]- a tapering, four-sided shaft of stone, usually monolithic and having a pyramidal apex. Dictionary dot com. Perhaps it'll be like a mini planet destroyer/harvester? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ropefish- Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Yeahhh most likely. I bet we will get more info in an upcoming event. Hopefully with archwings included. ^.^ would be nice if the even was about two weeks or more away, so it gives DE time to fix bugs and enough time for everyone to get arch-mods and rank them and the archwing bits up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaugahn Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 There are crashed ships on Europa that say "obelisk" as well. I also found this in the tile with the giant fans: The top console says "tecnical inc" in the middle, and then "strategy", "grineer", and "the infested" down the side. The bottom console is mostly gibberish, though it does say "hivemind mfg" in the middle. Keep in mind the alphabet I have is mostly incomplete, so those translations might not be accurate.

mrhat.lf Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) There are crashed ships on Europa that say "obelisk" as well. I have a theory that the crashed vessel on Europa is not the name, but the vessel classification. Why would two vessels be named the same exact thing? Looks to be that the Corpus are manufacturing prototype Warship cruisers, but they aren't fairing very well against Vay Kek's Balor Formorians. Maybe their design was intended to destroy any Formorian they came across and wiping the floor with any Galleon that came into view distance, but the Balor class is too strong for them. seems like the corpus aren't done with using the infested as a weapon, this might turn out to be interesting Or this could be one of Salad's ships to come out of the Viver sector of Eris.

hijinks_the_turtle Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 So.... Are we going to have some superweapon fights? Two death stars against each other? Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I've noticed is that Corpus ships seem to be Q-ships. They don't seem to have obvious armaments like Grineer ships. If you look, all the weapons are hidden in hatches or behind shutters. On the infested corpus ship set, the big gun bays are even hidden behind collapsing walls. My theory is that the Corpus are starting to produce dedicated warships, which could be what these new ships are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or this could be one of Salad's ships to come out of the Viver sector of Eris. I think you're right with the ship classification, these must be important ships for Corpus. The infested weaponry is only used by Salad V though, which further proves that the "OBELISK" title is a class as Frohd Bek and Salad don't get along very well... My theory is that the Corpus are starting to produce dedicated warships, which could be what these new ships are. Major plot-twist since the Corpus are supposed to be merchants. I'd love to see that happen some time soon, though. The Grineer pull up a fleet of Balors and every single Corpus ship transforms into pure weaponry. Me gusta.

RoboDoge Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Inb4 Corpus bring armada of dreadnaughts and Grineer start building Death Stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrhat.lf Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 So.... Are we going to have some superweapon fights? Two death stars against each other? Awesome! Actually, three. Obelisk, Balor, and my soon to be 8 Forma'd giant space cannon. One thing I've noticed is that Corpus ships seem to be Q-ships. They don't seem to have obvious armaments like Grineer ships. If you look, all the weapons are hidden in hatches or behind shutters. On the infested corpus ship set, the big gun bays are even hidden behind collapsing walls. My theory is that the Corpus are starting to produce dedicated warships, which could be what these new ships are. If you go play some missions on the Corpus Ship tileset, you'll likely come across a room that has similar structure to the one on Infested Ship and Ice Planet.

Morec0 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) Clearly we can anticipate this in the future: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY2we9oGLVw Just replace Kaiba with Frohd Bek, Lumus with Vay Hek, Umbra with Sargas Ruk, and... Yugi and can Darvo. Edited October 28, 2014 by Morec0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tho reference is a bit on the spot. I feel very much in the opposite direction - I can't watch anime unless I can find a good English dub. Nothing against the original voice actors, they're great, but 1) I can't understand a word they say and I like to do other things when watching shows, so reading subs is difficult; and 2) I love to hear the work English voice actors put into the characters, gives me ideas for how to expand my own voice. But to each their own. I'm with you, though: the show was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
