Default Centauri...Narn?

I am still looking for anyone who has done shipsets for the B5 universe. Earth Alliance is awesome, (thanks Mephisto & Rambie), but it seems that nobody has yet to do any of the other diverse races within B5. If only I had been blessed with a little more artistic skill I would give it a whirl. My curse is that I am addicted to this game system, and all that it can be transformed to do, but that I am not capable enough to do the necessary changes to make a quality modification. For this reason I will continue to plead and beg all of you creative geniuses to satisfy my quest and to thank all of you who have done some really outstanding work on the various mods and races that are available on this site and others. I salute you!

How about Drazi bitmaps? Two sets, of course.

One green, the other purple.

A little Drazi civil war never hurt anyone, except the occasional Drazi! Serves them right for a system based on what color bandanna you pull out of a barrel. Come to think of it, they too would be a lovely race to victimize in this game, but not as fulfilling as those Narns.

Hang on, people. Rambie is trying to get enough pictures for the races and he already has made considerable progress.

Careful, the Narn Bat Squad still roams the net.

Londo,

You can find 2 additional B5 shipsets at the XRSTO Empire Site http://bossi.com/chris/ The Army of Darkness and the Army of Light. I used the Army of Darkness shipset to create a Shadow race to vie with the Earth Alliance.

To do this, I created an AoD folder in the races directory and put the contents of aod.zip in there. Then I started a game, and used "Add new" to access the race/shipset design. I then built a Shadow Hegonomy empire around it (and then saved the empire file).

You may put what characteristics you wish for your Empire, here's what I selected. Firstly, the Psychic advanced trait .. "a scream in your mind", manipulation of telepaths, etc. seemed to fit. Also, Superior Attack and Impressive Intelligence seemed good. To get these traits, I lowered Political Savvy to Pathetic (traders they ain't) and Physical Strength to Weak (stronger than a Vorlon maybe, but that's not saying much). I also chose a Warrior culture with Aggressive Demeanor and Bloodthirsty Happiness. I used the ravager.txt design file for fitting ship names. For Environment, I chose Rock - None, but was somewhat unhappy about the small number of planets which fit this type.

With the EA using Natural Merchants and the SH (Shadow Hegonomy) using Psychic, this would leave Deeply Religious for the Minbari, and Organic for the Vorlons.

Good Luck!
