Game play question: If I remember correctly if a planet rebelled against it's original homeworld you got a generic bmp of what looked like an angry group of Mohawk Simpson's. Is it possible to have race specific pictures for rebelled planets.

For humans we could use President Clark or Bester etc
For Minbari we could use the general Shakiri who tried to replace Delenn
For the Centauri we could use one of Vir Cotto or Lord Refa ...

There are bmp pictures for most of the main races that could be used to represent rebelled/independent races, without resorting to the SEIV standard.

Can it be done? Do we want to?

The rebelling race uses the race pic(s) of the one they rebelled against. Example: A race that rebelled against the EA uses the EA race pic (Sheridan).

So no one is up to making the Ai or is it no one cares to use the set for the mod? Don't worry if it won't work for B5 thats ok.

Actually it will work. I'll add it to the Version I am working on.

Atrocities, that image set looks kinda "Ikarran" to me. That's an interesting race I think should eventually be included (especially if we are looking at doing more than just the B5 main timeline).

Ikarran? Never hear dof them. I'll do a little search in my books.

Grumbler:
I'll begin work on the stuff you gave tonight. When I begin there are bound to be questions. So sit tight and wait for the flood of e-mails.

The sentient race of Ikarra 7 was in its prime evolved enough to master organic technology. After being repeatedly attacked by other races the Ikarrans created twelve warmachines to protect them. These machines were programmed to obey only pure Ikarrans and to destroy everyone else. Unfortunately there was no such thing as a pure Ikarran and the machines turned against their creators. In the end the whole Ikarran race was destroyed.

Atrocities :
The Alliance is a very nicely crafted ship set, IMHO. However it suffers from the same problem as the LNAW for writing Description:/ Biological Description:/ Society & General History Description. Assuming you refer to the Delenn Sheridan Alliance?

Yes... I remember ... the Mohawk picture was used to warn you that they were rebelling. But can SEIV be programed to use a different picture. If the EA rebelled we don't really want to see lots of Sheridans, do we?

No. That picture can certainly be replaced by a new one, but only one can be used in a particular mod.

The Ikarrans (along with the Markab and a few others) were allies of the Vorlons and Minbari in the Shadow War of the 1200s AD. As noted, they were masters of organic technology but the weapons they created to fight the Shadows and Shadow minions ended up killing the Ikarrans as well. They were the race that left behind the technology featured in "Infection."
