This is the story of the last of the Babylon 5 mod-efforts. It's goal, to prevent another failure, by creating a place to solve our problems collaboratively. Its a port of call, home away from home, for modelers, texturers, programmers and sound engineers.

@ Zvezdochet: Nice model!! Please send to me!! I beg you

 

@ZEROibis: It will take a little while, cause I still got to get my mesh in order and then redo the texture. Besides that, I'm on (a much needed) vacation next week and will have no internet access so please be patient with me as I have to attend a marriage this weekend and not much time until the weekend thereafter. Perhaps I will release an intermittend release before I go on vacation (I hope so) but I cannot guarantee this.

 

I also think about redoing the texture of the Jumpgate (as fileosoft has educated me on the proper use of UV maps) but we'll see how much time I can afford for that. Other than that, progress is being made!

 

Cheers!

I modeled after Aurora, as I have no template for Nova. BTW. gratulations on using so little polygons! Thats magnificent.
Thanks to you we have now more models in less time than I thought possible!!

 

I just hope I can finish the mesh of my own model soon and then start to texture your works!!

Thanks for good words! I tried spare polygons, but EA ships very easy. Nova as i see [on image "EA-ships" ] little diffirent from Aurora. And more - i never search template on Firebolt fighter . In description table game B5 Wars - Firebolt may carry heavy rockets, like torpedo-bomber. Still search.

P.S: in list fighters you forgot "Zephyr" - old light starfighter.

Yep, I did. I included at first only the models from the ACAT miniature game (mongoose publishing), the successor to the B5 Wars IIRC. This did not include the Zephyr. If you make a model i might include that but I need some info of armarment and in-service date first. And I don't know if anybody would be using the zephyr if it were so old and outdated

Equipped narn heavy cannons [in research trees] they fighter may very effective destroy tankers and civil ships.

If make fighters like "frigates", he may do phase travel like big ships.

About "Firebolt" - he based on "Thunderbolt", but with few heavy rocket. May add "Thunder'' like "Firebolt" and equip long-range rockets ? Like "Thorun".

SteinerX - thanks, i rework 3d model [not my] and reduce polygons. In this base model - 10k polygons. I try to 1.0 - 1.4k 

P.S: reduce only to 1.7k poly, because in fighter too many important detail. [only on engine - 0.6k!]

P.P.S: on image - interceptor "Thunderbolt" launch two anti ship rockets in vasari scout. I did three types weapons, and i think missile need use only on capship [add in .entity]

What is Thorun? Don't know that one.

 

Jep, would be good to have the raider fighters as a frigate as well as a fighter (for the mothership).

Greetings all of you!

 

First - that Thunderbolt looks amazing!

Second - The AI tests are not at all done (or even begun). All Input is appreciated.

 

And last (but not least) I'm sorry not to have rleased in a long time ( > to weeks) and it will take about another week before I will release the next update. I will go on a much needed vacation next week and tomorrow I have to attend the wedding of a good friend of mine so I might not have any time to work on the mod till I get back. I hope though that after I come back there will be plenty of new stuff ready to be released. I hope you enjoy the coming week and please be patient.

 

Yours TobiWahn Kenobi

 

PS.: I thank you very much, Zvezdochet, that you do so much modeling for us. Thanks alot!

Thanks too! And i have idea about EA defence satellite, as named G.O.D. In "Call to arms" one shot destroy drakh ship.

http://www.b5tech.com/earthalliance/earthallianceshipsandvessels/earthotherships/godsat.html

And about EA space station: in film "B-5:In the beginning" i see military EA station (before destroy) - and in table game B5 Wars named "Orion starbase".

http://spaceship.brainiac.com/Mongoose/Orion.jpg

In plan few ships, but i not be spoiled

To SteinerX: i certainly send all models to TobiWahn_Kenobi - all together, on next week.

If who be modelled - please say there.
