I recently was turned onto this series and am pleased to say that I find it to be a good show.
I have only seen a handful of the episodes, and wish that I had followed the show from its start.
Right now I find it a tad bit confusing, much like reading a book in peaces as I work to understand the whole dynamics of this series.
How many of you follow it, and what do you think of it?

I really enjoy Farscape. Hard to say why. I guess I find it easy to identify with john Chriton. Just an ordinary guy, not a trained member of Star Fleet or the Earth Alliance.
He's kind of sarcastic, in the grand tradtion of the Doctor and Avon.
I got sucked into how the biology and physics of the universe in this show works. It's fast-paced too, there's time spent on relationships, but not one third of the show.
My favorite thing to do when I play an organic race in SE4 is to build a baseship with warp opening and closing and repair bays. Class: Leviathan. Name: Moya. Opening and closing warp points almost at will is the closest thing to starburt in SE4

I've followed the Farscape series almost from the first. (Missed the first two episodes) I found the series to be well written and the actors and special effects great. Perhaps the show is a tad too fast pased as missing an episode (or two) leaves you playing catchup.
I believe that there is a web site via the scifi channel web site. www.scifi.com/farscape (http://www.scifi.com/farscape) or some such.

Atrocities --
A very impressive profile view. I've made it my wallpaper. Could you be trying to tell us that maybe you're in the mood to make a bunch of shipsets, despite the rotten month you're having?
When people talk about modding the Farscape universe, they point out that there a too few ships in the series to cover all SE4 sizes and still be ... um ... I won't use the C-word. Perhaps that won't stop you.

I am glad that you liked the image. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
I am kicking the idea around about making a Peacekeeper set with Leviathan's as transports and a Baseship. To make this set, I would have to employee a degree of self inovation.
In other words, a large latitude of artisitic creativity would have to be given.
Again, I am just kicking the idea around. I don't want to get into another debate about cannon.
The set would be a completely custom set based upon what little info I have.

He'll use big guns on anyone that whines about "canon" shipsets. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Atrocities, that Last shipset was way to dark for me.
I could just make out something blue in the middle ofthe screen.

probably the best thing to do for a Farscape mod would be to have a scenario, that way you dont have to have every single race with all the standard ships. well thats just my 2 cents
