Hi guys!

The current plan is, to fully get this mod rolling as soon as Parallels is finished.
As we completly convert a Star Trek game to Babylon 5, it will take some time... during that, I thought of doing a very very simple demo of the mod.



Age of Expansion
---The Line---


In 2248 the Minbari were just up to fully exterminate Mankind.
Bypassing Mars and the Asteroid Belt colonies, they wanted to hit Earth directly. Their ships closed in from all directions, breaking resistance with ease.
Of 20.000 men and women fighting at the line, some 300 returned.

Now it is up to the player to get through it, either as Minbari or Earthforce.

No Valen soul, too keep the Minbari from bombing Earth, just military hardfacts.
__________

I hven been asked on some occasions of the Minbari are maybe, just MAYBE, in the mod, and I had to dissapoint the one asking with a no.

This would give people the ability to play with the Minbari and Earthforce in a deathmatch scenario (In the Sol System).
The demo would be very very simple: Each side would have a Starbase, a Shipyard and a mining facility. Then the Minbari would have the three warships I already built, Earthforce the Hyperion, Nova and a Minbari War refit of the Tillman battleship. Then the two sides would have the common fighters: Nial, Minbari Transport, Aurora Starfury and Badger Starfury.

What do you think?

"The humans, I think, knew they were doomed. Where another race would surrender to despair, the humans fought back with even greater strength. They made the Minbari fight for every inch of space."

Okay, I cleaned the thread up. This will be for discussion.

The Narn have interest in a mineral-rich region near the Earth Alliance colony of Epsilon Indi IV and thus try to expand their sphere of influence.

The only problem is, well, the Earth Alliance. A little campaign was mounted.

BACKGROUND:
In 2209 the Narn gained independence from Centauri occupation. Within ten years they managed to build up a small formidable strike force for self-defense and smaller attacks.
In 2219 they seeked to occupy the Epsilon Indi sector, and clashed with the Earht Alliance forces there.
That local conflict was the operational debut of the revolutionary Earthforce Hyperion class heavy cruisers of Karmatech Engineering.


So, post any thoughts, questions, wishes here.

You see, the ship and station sizes are completly off... however, I managed to get the basic foundation of the Earth Alliance ingame within 24 hours!

Hi Intrepid are you still thinking of releasing a demo? And if so, is it still the Battle of the Line as the original post suggested?

Been kinda quiet around here for a while, hope to hear from you soon.

I have a suggestion, why not make the Battle Of The Line version of the demo and then integrate it into the full mod as the final mission for the Earthforce? That way, you can still show off your Minbari models yet they still won't be a playable race in the full mod.

That definately means more work for me, and my schedule is very tight already.
Negative, Mr. Vorlon.

In the Gallery there are five new pictures from the Earth Alliance. And yes, the shipyard is still the Federation one, I haven't converted the EA one yet (it is design I did for Parallels, but it should fit well into AoE, too).

Umm, sooner or later I could use some help with Wireframes and related things...

If you want, you can use the EA GUI from Parallels. Let me know and I will dig it up and send it to you, though you might need to redo the alphas for them, not 100% sure as I haven't looked at it for well over 12 months.
