who laughed? i'll smack em around.

the earth rebellion would be a good one, indeed. you could play B5, and you could make the Proxima system part of it, setup Proxima 3 as a splinter race (like a PPP breakaway) and set Mars to 'rioting' at the start of the game.

disable everyones construction abilities, and edit the intelligence file so that the only thing B5 can do is crew insurection and maybe ship-bomb.. then put a hacked facility in the SOL system that lowers intell chance by 100%, so the home defense fleet cant be stolen.

start the game with B5 controlling the whitestar fleet and maybe one EarthForce destroyer (what was the name of the first one to join their side?) and they have to use insurections to get the rest. EarthForce could have some of those slick Advanced Destroyers... oh yea.
