Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

Val: email sent to the b5 email addy.

Jam: Just went thru the AI, found what may have been the error you saw with the Drazi(?): double spacing between 2 techs.

ALL: Just went thru the AI, found a number of double spacing & typo errors. Hopefully I got rid of most of the errors (NO guarantee I got ALL of them http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ).

Combat telepaths/psychic studies: Are the EA the only one's with this capability? No requirements as EA only in techarea but EA Psy Corps are only telepaths I know of from the show. EA only AI I have researching these areas atm.

Timstone:
I type some replies on the forum during working hours, the boss doesn't mind 'cause of the sheer amount of hours I am here and because I don't abuse it. I don't actually do any of the modding stuff though. Plus everyone else gets a dozen smoke breaks a day http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

PF
Combat Teeps - Actually the Minbari were doing it in the show too. I left the tech open for all races. The EA will have a few special techs and Intels on top of that for the PsyCore http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Gotta go - end of smoke break http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

Val: Thanks, I guess I'll add that to the Minbari and let it go for now. Hehe, only saw a very few of the shows, so me no expert.

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

The Narns shouldn't have telepaths available. They don't have the necessary genes for telepathy. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

And the Vorlons don't have the soul for it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

Yah! Minbari rule

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

Altough the Narns don't have Teeps, they can hire comercial ones. At the time of the show that they were talking about using them, they were putting them on all sorts of ships for all races. But EA/Minbari would be the prime 2 to research it.

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

Done. EA & Minbari have at least some level of Combat telepaths (9 or 10). I'll compile what I have tommorow and post/email.

Hehe, while they have not met yet, the EA currently have level 2 Combat Telepaths for when they meet the Shadows in the current test game.

Excellent! Thanks for tracking 'em down for me!!!!

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Who says that a telepath on a ship is automatically of the same race as the rest of the crew? The Narns could very possibly hire other races' telepaths. Of course, here is where you run into the limitations of modding the game, because you cannot make sure that another race is available to be 'recruited' before allowing them to use telepaths.

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

BM: Val already said that. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif Thanks anyways.

As EA for instance would not let narn use their races telepaths unless they wanted them to. This means narn can't get any telepaths until it meets another race.

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

Val: Latest AI in your e-mail.

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

In the show didn't the Narns try to acquire some genetic samples of telepaths so they could make their own? That could be modded in somehow. They just need to acquire (through trade, theft, or ruins) another race's telepath tech which, when combined with their own, would give them Narn telepaths.

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

Jimbob: Ok... then I am gonna assign you (and everyone else) to the game then. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

And I don't know what's going on with the p&n 2.6 beta test game.

Val: Were the Drakh going to be playable or not? If not, which race should Tesco have instead?

Edit: Aargh! What is Milton's PBW nick? I can't assign him to the game. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

The P&N 26 beta game has been uploaded, and we are making sure everybody has the latest files right now.

Once everyone has successfully uploaded their turn, we will know that everybody is up to date on the modfiles.

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

I have the Drakh weapons in process, but don't know if I'll finish them this weekend or not - still been working like a dog http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

The Narn Telepath idea is pretty good, but too much of a pain right now... although I suppose we could add a psychic racial trait that is inexpensive and link the telepathic research to that rather than specific races. Hmmm... could then add - B5 Psychic Race - Ancients would not need to take this trait as they would automatically have racial specific abilities built into their particular race. This would force the Narns to either get the initial level from another race or buy/trade for the components.

Thanx PF, I'll add them in when I get home.

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

Well until I know what Milton's PBW nick is, we can't start (unless we kick him out, which would be rude http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ).

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

Imperator Fyron

Please remove Milton from playing the Centauri.
Milton requested that you withdraw him from B5mod PBW. He couldn't locate his copy of 1.49/SE4. All he has now is gold/SE4. Thus Centauri is open any who wishes to play them, but you got to have that funny hair-do. Its doesn't count if you only have as you shower.

Lighthorse

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

If I don't get the Drakh done in time, would Tesco be interested in the Centauri?

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

Lighthorse: Okey dokey.

Val: He probably would. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

IF: We can't start yet, we first need the new installment of the B5 Mod. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

If you wanted, you could switch me from LNAW to Centauri. I wouldn't mind in the least.

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

Does anyone know of internet sites with Star Trek jpg's, especially of worlds they visited, showing structures?

Links would be nice... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

Stargrazer is not a valid PBW nick. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif What's his PBW nick then?

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

my nick name is... get ready for it... The Canuck ... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif what a surprise http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Maybe Stargazer without the 'r'? That was the name of Picard's old ship on TNG.

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Just checking. A lot of people have differnt PBW nicks than nicks here on Shrapnel, and it is better to get that out of the way before I try to assign people to the game. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

So any idea on what techs and components are being added by Val? (Of course as I'm slated for the Gaim, I'm most interested in what will given to them) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

Gaim: I haven't done anything with them yet myself other than look up their techs. Basically particle weapons plus the Gaim race tech...

packet torpedo, light particle beam, particle concentrator, scatter gun, PDF scatter gun are what I found. suggest you also pick another area plus general to supplement...

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

Imperator Fryon,

I uploaded my empire file for the Narns Regime.
I only used 2000 racial points, is that correct.
Racial points is like money, its always easy to spend more.

Lighthorse of the Narns Regime

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

Umm... I don't know how many points we should use. What do all of you think?

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

IF: I usually use 2000 myself against the AI *shrug* whatever everybody wants.

This be the 1st PBW (or PBEM) I have played SEIV...

me just waiting for Val to give word on the update/latest Version before going forward...

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

Seeing as I've only ever played solo before, I've been trying to work out what kind of mind set would be best for facing other humans. In my current game I've gone for massive production capability - I've got 100 Space Yard 3 space stations scattered through out my empire (playing as Centauri) in addition to my planetary yards. Just how high is the attrition rate in a proper game?

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

I prefer 2000 racial points myself. I leave that final decision to yopu.

Hey Dead Meat, let's make the attrition rate of ships really, really high in this game. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif j/k

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

What do you mean just joking? You may be, but I'm not. Just wait till I get my Shadow fighters with their nice new shiny slicers.We will see how many of your "ships" it will take to kill me off. Attrition will be something that you won't allow spoken on your homeworld (if its still their).

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

Well... I don't know what weapons my fighters will have at this point http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif , but I am sure that they will kick your petty little slicer beam butts.
