Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

Jimbob: In the B5 series fighters needed to transmit a code to activate the jumpgate. You also had to pay to use jumpgates controlled by other races. Once jumpgate tech is researched it could be possible to have some sort of tech or component such as Jumpgate Sequencer to activate the jumpgate. "hyperspace motivator" I like that name; good for Warp points.

I take it that's two votes for Fighters Jumping gates. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Han Solo in Star Wars talked about the "hyperspace motivator" if my memory serves.

Nomor,

I checked for those B5 books at Bridgetown Hobby shop today. They weren't there, must where been sold. Try Agenys of gaming, they printed all the B5 books. Looked at some other books, they only the races for which they were written. That should be a heavy invertment to made.

Lighhthorse: Done. I don't have all races on it but it should help some at least. It is mostly concerned with weapons. Also no organic or psychology tech available atm IIRC. There IS psychic so that the EA can develop Combat psychics (Psy-corps) to combat the Shadows living CPU's.

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

2 Questions :

AI's with either 'Ancient' or 'Nomadic' never seem to get anywhere in the games I've started. Is there anyway of giving them a kick start?

Is there anyway of getting those 'Normal' AI players to build a combat hull larger than a Destroyer? My Heavy Cruisers are getting sick of swatting Corvettes. If giving the AIs both Propulsion and Gravimatric tech will do it, I'll happily comply. I'm already the Mega Evil Empire and haven't expanded my system count for the Last 200+ turns just to try to get some decent assualts out of the AI (The Minbari are trying the hardest, they have their 'Error:Cannot view' guns mounted on their ships and Scattering Armour)

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

1-Val coded it so that the Ancients (Vorlons & Shadows) can only colonize by either invasion or having planets gifted to them. Not sure how to give a kick to the Nomads.

2-I been wondering why the AI only builds warships to destroyer size. They will design larger, just won't build them. They will design and build large specialty ships (eg mine layer/sweeper).
