Yet another B5 Game project announced

I'm starting to write a B5 game - in the same vein as Starfleet Command for the Star Trek Universe. This game will focus on Capital Ship battles.

This will be a community project - freeware project. (probably open-source). I am looking for a 2d/ 3d game engine to use for movement/ battles. This will not be a mod for an existing game.

I am currently designing the race/ ship selection screens (for skirmish mode).

I am looking for the 6 main race logos in 165 x 165 format, as well as specifications/ data for the following general ship classes (about 6 for each race - some non-canon).

I am using SFB (ST) data right now so I can get the framework program/ forms completed. This data will be replaced with B5 data when available.

I think the ship data for B5Wars would come in handy for this project.

If you are interested or could help in any way (graphics, code, data), please e-mail me at [email]cbott@vype.de[/email]

    Depends on who youre looking at. Some women look fine without, but most are much better with.

    You really might want to watch the use of images in your selection menu for your "Empire Selection Screen" as it looks like you got the one image from the b5 tech manual - just maybe make sure you've got his permission to use those images before you distribute the game (last time someone snatched their images without permission it was kinda messy). Just a suggestion!

    That's true! But I mostly prefer they have hair.
