good old Argon Nova.. though I liked how the ships looked in X² better than X³

ah cool. actually I had the 700% Manu bonus quiet often before already. pretty cool to pump out huge ships every other turn.

me wants multiplayer too: TCP/IP, Hotseat and play-by-e-mail

So, I patched to 1.4 on friday and played a game (large galaxy, many planets, 8 opponents on tough) all day. Just finished it. I have to say overall the game feels and looks more polished than during my games with version 1.1 and 1.2. Also Iam really happy that the performance is alot better now, especially the time needed to load and save is really good now. I played like 8 hours and the game only crashed once (when there was some heavy load and I wanted to switch to the gove

looks sweet

I really hope that we get a multiplayer expansion. the B5 mod + multiplayer = the win

B5 fans of the world unite!

hey everyone! Great that B5 made it into the news. I have been on vacation in Japan the last 5 weeks. So, what did I miss? and nice name for the planet there rav8.

congrats Master U

oh, I thought users can actually rate them. then thanks to the mods rating most of my B5 ships at 4 or 5 stars. regards and greetings from japan, cop

I will be in Japan the next 5 weeks so I can't work on new ships and stuff until after Iam back.

someone digged deep in the forum

hi there, in the 3rd and 4th screenshot you see the 2 marked boxes that say "Tile". remove the markers (disable all tiling) if you want to see whether your textures will look correctly in GC2. If after you disabled the tiling your ship has no or no complete texture anymore it means you need to work on your texture UVW maps (and its not the render to texture thing what I meant, dont know what you can do with that cause I never used it, I meant "Modifiers -> UV Coordinates -> UVW Unwrap")

it is next to impossible to add shadow and vorlon factions that behave similar to how they did in the show (e.g. forcing other races into war with each other, no colonizing, but having basically every tech right from the start, but not really interested to wipe out races without reason etc etc) unless we can script custom AI-personalities. also we'd basically need 2 dread lord factions / hull styles and in generally we need more than 5 or 6 hull styles to begin with. ^^

Drakh Tanker now waiting for approval. its not really a combat vessel so maybe use it as cargo or transport hull (it should work as medium/large/huge hull tho)

now thats a big ship sadly you are not done just with importing and exporting the ship. you need to create a material within 3DS Max and apply the texture to it. I usually open the material browser within Max (key: M), then use the menu to "pick from object" and let Max create a material from your model (or a part of your model). if the model was well done it should be named similar to the texture

congratulations frogboy!

cool. I hope I find time to work on another model or 2 this weekend (drakh tanker at least)

Taralenn II is also one very important Minbari Colony, maybe the most important after Minbar Prime itself

Id like them to work on the compatibility of the GC2 3d engine with 3DS Max and the X-Format so that GC2 correctly displays models with tiled-textures/materials and also correctly autoscales the size of animated models on the galactic map.

a few of the Crusade-Episodes werent all that bad, however I blame TNT for not giving JMS the freedom he needs in order to deliver a great show. TNT wanted more sex and crime. the result was the Crusade Commander and Captain Lockley in a sucky shower-scene for example I was like OMGWTF!

rumors has it that there may be a MMOG for Babylon 5 as well as a new mini-series made by JMS featuring lost episodes from the original show...

finished Drakh Raider (medium) and Drakh Shuttle (small) today. still wondering what to use as tiny hull for them. I got a Drakh Tanker still which is good as a transport/cargo hull and another version of the drakh cruiser (nearly same hull, but different configuration of engine/weapons).

also Warner Brothers killed the B5 Collectible Card Game when they didnt renew the license for Precedence. shortly after Precedence was insolvent. and lets not forget Sierra who canceled the B5 Space Game in 1998... talk about totally killing a franchise ^^
