Andr�s:

Haven't heard much from you lately, how's it hanging?

Everyone:

Wanted to let everyone know that a sizable number of weapons (and some other components) have been posted for the B5Mod - if you want to take a peek!

B5 Mod Thread

Also, has anyone else seen this yet?

Hi Val,

Is the B5 Mod compatible with Gold?

Also another race that I haven't seen mentioned are the "Moties" from Jerry Pournelle's Mote in God's Eye. Hmmmm, they reminded me of a modified Gumby in shape

They'd be better off in their own mod or just as a race style methinks. Ships that can accelerate without regard to g-forces, as the SE4 ships and the ships in most SF can, would so outmanuver them it wouldn't even be funny.

Wr8th:

Right now the mod is 1.49 (old SE IV), but we just posted AIs for Gold for all the existing races on our site! All of the graphics and sounds should work just fine with the new Gold edition, so it's just a matter of updating the correct files once we have it working in 1.49 (sounds so easy). Another issue is that right now the AI doesn't really work with the mod as it is aimed towards standard SE IV, MB is currently working on the daunting task of writing AI for this project using racial specific components - but this will take a while

Never heard of the "Moties" - newer or older sci-fi?

That's the question.
If most people has or is going to have gold Version, there would be no point in making a v1,49 mod.
What do you think?

I'm figuring on finishing the B5Mod out in 1.49 - as we are sure people have it - and then upgrading everything over to Gold (with a good deal of help from the experts). But it might make more sense to see what everyone has and get an idea of how many Gold v. Standard players there are. Maybe start a thread to get a count

From what I have seen, doing P&N v3.0, an update to gold is not very hard. IMO, it would be easier to update later, rather than manage two mods simultaneously.

I might have time to write (or at least start on) a classic-to-gold Modpatcher this weekend.
