Future shipsets
 

If someone is searching for nice examples of spaceships to make a shipset, maybe this site will help.
It takes us back a few years, but it's still a game I would die (well, not for real of course) for to play.

OMG I have never heard of this game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
Does it mean its not being developed anymore? Oh the horror! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yes, I was mighty pissed off (to put it mildly) when it was canceled. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif So far, there are no Babylon5 games. Except SEIV, of course http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I dug a little bit further and look what I've found:

I haven't had time to read much, but it seems the site is still being updated, maybe te early beginnings to continue this beautiful project. Keep your fingers crossed.

Re: Future shipsets
 

Is there a way we can help promote the site? It might be very beneficial to us maybe if we can do something...heck i wouldnt really know though

The problem wouldn't be with these guys, but with B5's license holder (Warner Bros). Evidently they are getting pretty stingy. The company that held the B5 license for paper & miniature games (Agents of Gaming) had that license yanked Last fall, and they had to close their doors.

Re: Future shipsets
 

Well, AoG still exists, but they aren't allowed to produce the gaming books for B5 anymore.

On the site there is a message (right on the first page you get to see) calling for cold hard cash. well, I'm not greedy, but I am causious. So I won't do it, but this is (I think) one of the few ways to help them. If they attract enough publicity (banners, conversation, links) they might get a visit from a publisher (or they are at least in a better position to do business with a publisher).

Re: Future shipsets
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Sadly, no. If you go to their website it says they went out of business 1 Nov 02.

Re: Future shipsets
 

Oh, ouch. Well, good thing I keep semi-regular contact with AgentOne from them. Damn shame they had to close their doors.

Re: Future shipsets
 

there is a B5 game in developement along the same lines as Into The FIre but a hell of a lot better graphically and gameplay wise, its called I Found Her, i know its a wierd name but u have to read the story line, which is very good might i add, behind the game to understand it http://ifh.firstones.com/ Its an independent game and its freeware (YAY) so they have no issues with the companies who know rights to B5.

Re: Future shipsets
 

P.S.

Remember if your developing shipsets please let trooper know.... even send him your latest..

And if you could let me know as well that would be great....

There is a B5 mod/scenario for Freespace.

I've played freespace 1 & 2 and they're real fun. Haven't tried the B5 ver but a friend of mine has and he says it's really impressive. Especially when the capital ships beams starts!

Re: Future shipsets
 

it is fantastic...

Unfortantly my freespace 2 cd died on me... ( yea I know I do not back it up at the time )

And since it is no longer available i have a lovely dead cd , box , and manual....

Grrrrrrrrr.....

Now if anyknows where i can legally get a replacement that would be great as the company has offered no help on this one.

Re: Future shipsets
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">As long as you maintain proof that you have a license to the game (keep the dead cd, box, and manual) it is legal (I think) to make a copy of someone else's for your own use.
