Future Babylon 5 games
Last night, I was watching In the Beginning on DVD and when it came to the battle of the line, I was thinking about how much I'd like to do that in a game. Then I thought that the game would actually have to be Babylon 5, all the right ships, none of these wierd designs that you see in Star Trek games, it has to have the Christopher Franke music playing, the proper zero-g space flight physics, basicly everything that ITF had, otherwise it just wouldn't feel right. If all we end up with is some cheap cash in, then we should stick with the mods, because they do feel like B5.

You'd like to do [b]what[/b] in a game? Get shot out of the sky without even breaking formation? What fun would that be?

Other than that, if you want to [i]fly[/i] a fury, it's IFH or the FS2 mod... I think B5:SFS has died [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/frown.gif[/img]
By the way, I just released a new version of Magic (the modeling tool I wrote to create models for Starshatter). You can now load Wavefront OBJ files into Magic and export them as MAG files ready to be used in game.
See the official website for details.

[b]The [url="http://www.b5mods.com"]Great Wars[/url] for Homeworld has a fantastic collection of maps, covering the main battles from the series - the Battle of the Line map is sheer madness... they've got one for the Battle of the Belt, where Sheridan displayed his nuke fetish (yes, you get your nukes [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/wink.gif[/img]).

Where are those maps? I can't find them anywhere.

It would be cool if it did and people played it and rejoiced and the heavens opened and the hand of god intervened for the betterment of mankind.

[b]A mod for Starshatter would be cool, especially as the developer would be so close at hand[/b][/quote]
Ya think?
I'm trying to create official reference documentation for modders in the form of an SDK ( [url="http://www.starshatter.com/modsdk.htm"]http://www.starshatter.com/modsdk.htm[/url] ).
Does this stuff look it would be useful?

Yeah, and they had everything pulled away from underneath them - the joy of going out and making it yourself is that you'll never, really, run that risk [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]
As for the maps, Rico, I'll dig them out and mail them to the aol account in your profile [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

Ah, sorry Rico - I hadn't wandered past this thread for some time. I'll re-mail to the Yahoo account [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]
[b]ok, is this what i remember, you get a ship go around the galaxy and trade. you had a specific sector that was yours and it basically ripped off most space sci-fi out there. like youd make a planet with a geneis torpedo and get colonist off terra.
if thats not it then what is what i wrote because i LOVED playing that game. thanks.

Yes, that's the game I was talking about, although I don't know how close this one will be to that type of game play now.
[b]I kicked ass the one time I played it. Had enough cash in the bank to live off the interest alone and had a nice little dead-end home planet defended like mad through the only entrance.

I probably know the Sys Op (and NO, it wasn't me... [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img] ) ...
That used to be a major drawback to the game... although you probably didn't get to listen to all he flames and whining from the newbies to the game either that he did...
heh heh...
