Evenin' all,

Just to show I've not totally vanished. I've had a lot on recently, so some things have been put to one side (including stuff I'm doing for other people, sorry Majestic =( ). But every so often I get a few minutes, and throw together another model or texture or two...

This design is one of my own creations. I'm trying to make each race's fleets have a more uniform style, even if it means altering canon designs. Canon designs like the Orion Starbase (Io Transfer Point).

I've tried to mesh the general idea of the Orion (wheel with centre section) with design styles seen in B4 and B5, but keeping those stations as "epic" in their size and grandeur.

However, I have seen another variation done on the Orion for the X3 mod, so I may do something like that for the Orion, and make this a special or map unit station...

But anyway, let me know what you think. There's a bit of work still needs doing (Cobra bays etc), but it's mostly done.

Is it the one done by Amras-Arfeiniel? He keeps reminding me to finish my own B5 EA Cruiser. :lol:

It looks good and keeps in with the style of your other ships. I was starting to wonder if you were going to do more B5 models since it has been awhile.

That's a nice looking station there. Are you making more (eventually. Heck, Maj and I both understand your opening part fully.)

I will be making more. What I'm doing, basically, is B5-ing my copy of Fleet Ops. I may make full mods for A2 (Patch Project required, at least), but for now it's for my own amusement.

Basically what's coming is three separate "mods". 2010: Orieni War, 2230: Dilgar War, and 2260: Shadow War. There are other ones that may get added, such as the 1260: Last Great War, or the 2280: Drakh War.

This project is under the heading of "The Sigma 957 Project", but due to it's nature, and a lot of its influence from the board game, also of the following name, the series will be known as "The Babylon 5 Wars".

Although this seems to be being done primarily for A2, I'm doing a lot more with it. It's a project for the B5W board game itself, there'll be movie shorts, stories, and quite a lot more. However, free time is at a premium, so it will be slow going, for a while at least.

"Is it the one by Amras Arfeiniel?" Yes, it is. Perfect. More military than the EA-B5 style, which i'll probably keep for more special installations, with the utilitarian style seen on AAs Orion (and in canon on the Omega/Nova/Warlock) for military installations.

Additional:
Thanks to RJBs post for showing me how to put youtube vids in, here's proof of the model's animation and lightmaps, lol.

EA Orion Starbase Concept 1

Also proof that it's a WIP, that reactor bit is really just the basic block.

That looks and sounds awesome I like multi-era mods and B5 really needs a new mod as B5A2 while still one of my favourites really needs a update and I love the idea of include time-frames like the Dilgar War, Last Great war etc. :thumbsup:

The station rocks too. :)
