i miss when you had the ships glow

sorry, just getting back from vacation. will have to look at the models. it sometimes does weird things with sizing, idk

Is it just me or the Sharlin Warcruiser model has become gigantic ?

Well, even thou i would love to see the whitestar here, it wouldnt fit. It would fit in a Ranger shipset as Cruiser thou XD (given that a single one is able to basicaly go 1v1 against an Omega(no shadow refit) and win, especiel when Deleen commands "END THIS!"). Also lets not forget that the Victory class would be an extremly fitting Titan, so we got 2 ships already for a Ranger set.

Can't wait for the White Star update.

Maybe use the White Star as alternative destroyer model. Really great mod!

yeah, sorry. been distracted with work and all.

but yeah, updates rarely interfere with stand-alone shipsets, which is why i get a bit lazy in updating them. i do want to update this one over my vacation, though. i've been messing with new models and a different spec that's less shiny.

I also have a model for the earth force omega destroyer with the shadow armor I kinda want to add-- and white star models idk what to do with.

@LukavSlambert: thanks for answering my question.

Ships Sets are not getting broken in new versions in 99% of the times.

Is this and the Vorlon shipset compatible with the 3.14? I know that nothing about the ships was changed, but I simply don't understand a bit about modding, so needed to ask.

Huh... do you still intend to update your B5 shipsets?

I would like to see a white star XDDD

Honestly, I think Paradox should try to obtain special licenses to use ship models of different sci-fi franchises, so we could RP our favorite sci-fi empires. But that would probably cost them a fortune.

the drakh I do have models for all their ships, but the issue there is filling out all the slots. i mean they basically have a large carrier, a capital chip, and a fighter. so you end up with too few models to fill all the vanilla slots, unless you just want to get lazy and re-use same models for different sizes.

brakiri are a bit better on that end, it's mostly just station models that are missing. but, the low quality of some of the models... they just need a lot of work.

It's frustrating how is so difficult to find models for some of the coolest ships in Babylon 5, no? I would love see a Drakh and a Brakiri shipsets, but everywhere I look, the great majority of the models is for one of the Big Four (Minbari, Centauri, Narn and Humans).

I've a few models for them and would like to at some point. some of the models are pretty low quality though, b/c they came from a really low resolution video game.

Any chance of we getting a Brakiri Shipset in the future?

ah, ugh. yeah. that is a common pain in the butt issue. will have to fix that (thought I already had)

The section of the defense platform (hangars) seems to be from something else.

Thanks.

ahhh. I also made a working model for the earth force shadow omega destroyers with rotating sections. not sure where to put that in yet, but want to.

there are updates I've made to the incorporated versions in my larger mod that I will likely seed into these once I finish.

I'm trying a different, less shiny texture on minbari ships. and, I made fighter squads which I'll likely add as a corvette option on these (for those who like corvette swarms, they just look better than esp the earth force corvettes in that regard).

right now I'm stuck getting the new economy to work in the larger mod, though. The AI is... annoying, lol.

Did you intend to update your B5 mods in the near future? Ir are they still functional despite of not being updated for a time?

很好看

Oh, I had a thought, have you thought about adding Stargate in there too?

not ready yet. it's what i was/am working on when work suddenly picked up.

That's cool, is it on here somewhere or is it not ready yet?

weapons were about 85-90% done, mostly just icons and sound files left. ships... it's tied to graphical culture, but to integrate star trek mods into it sill needed to create my own models to use for new hull sizes b/c didn't have much luck with folks letting me use theirs (even if their mods were required for them to every show up). so yeah... just sort of grew into this massive mod with the goal of really making game diverse. you don't always know what weapons etc neighbors will have, or how well your own will work against theirs. some are strong but slow to fire, others have longer range but middling damage. it's not just about numbers in other words. not just about, they're using x so I counter with y.

it started out as an across the board weapons mod. I got tired of everyone basically always having/using same weapons/tech, so started building weapons mod that included different star trek, star wars, and B5 weapons etc. but down paths that were mutually exclusive and tied to graphical culture-- ie, use B5 earth force shipset and you will get their cannon weapons techs. and it really just started expanding from there-- well ST races use more battle cruisers, B5 everyone is using dreadnoughts... then how do you balance things?

I understand work getting busy and creative streak fizzling out. What larger mod is that, I'm curious? Thank you for making these shipsets, I have 1 viewer who wants a EA playthrough with that shipset lol, so your designs have many fans.

Hey, I found images of a ship that could be a perfect candidate for a Juggernaut. It's from a ship from the TV show Star Trek Enterprise: https://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/scans/drex/crossing-views.jpg

All you would need to do is tweak the texture a little(?) bit to make it more "Minbarey". What you think?

Go get your well deserved rest, my friend. This mod can wait.

yeah, I'm sure I'll pick up once the work dies down. but, it's supposed to be fun. and, like friday night I was working until midnight. then had to get up early saturday to finish... it doesn't leave you really wanting to do much. and i don't want it to get to a place where it just feels like more work.

I did actually fix the textures, but I did it as part of a larger mod that actually scales the ships to their actual sizes relative to each other. did it by adding battle cruisers and dreadnoughts as ship options. plan was to eventually apply it to this shipset, but I also started adding new ship models for minbari, so that added to the work. that's on top of weapons package.

a lot of things to pick up, but it's just been an exhausting year.

I meant "every human being", dammit! I hate when I make such amateur mistakes.

Real life: ruining the mood of everyone human being since the beginning of the universe.

Eh, work has just sucked lately-- a lot of late nights and weekend work (including this weekend). So just been taking a break until this stupid busy period ends. Hard to get in the mood or concentrate when I'm answering teams messages every 5min, even on a Saturday.

When you intend to fix the neon-like textureof the Minbari ships?

You know, I was thinking: why not use the Liandra and Enfali classes of ships as corvettes and frigates instead of using Nial fighters and Minbari shuttles for that?

I hope to see the rest of your Shipsets updated to 3.7 as I hadn't had a chance to use any of them before the change other than the Vorlons. Great work.

amazing work thank you!

Although i cant force spawn the races i created, i dont understand why

i love your ship sets. i agree with the previous comment about adding the white and blue star would be amazing.

i also would like to suggest that the blue skin for the minbari ships is quite bright. im not sure how easy it is for you to change but if possible a darker blue would fit more nicely.

may i also request if its possible for you to add a new starting faction to go with your mod, so we can match the ships with the portrait/flag/ethics of each race. much like how you added different cities to go with the faction.

thank you for your time.

yeah would love to see ISA/Anla'Shok ships, either in the minbari shipset or as an extra shipset

suggestion:
-corvette: White Star prototype fighter
-destroyer: Blue Star (Snub-nose White Star)
-cruiser: White Star
-battleship: not sure, maybe a Sharlin or a scaled up White Star
-titan/colossus: Victory Destroyer (Destroyer class White Star)
-juggernaut: maybe the EA Juggernaut

plz make whitestar/bluestar for Minbari

@Alexander: indeed. Stellaris was begging for a B5 shipset mod.

So happy Babylon 5 is still receiving love!

Fantastic!

the drakh are hard, b/c really you've a fighter/corvette model, basically a cruiser and bb model that look very much the same, and then one very large model for say a titan.

I've mostly used the models for my own "organic" shipset I use, but that's about it. since there are so many other models that would have to be made from scratch. though.... I suppose you could use the city ship design as the habitat model.

They almost make a better shipset to use for a late-late game crisis, just to add to the B5 inspired war in heaven. like, after it ends they can spawn as a new crisis.

brakiri actually have the most ships of the remaining races, and I have fiddled around with seeing if I could piece together enough for their shipset. that and thinking about making the whitestar/bluestar/etc ships available as a supplemental. but idk how exactly I want to use them yet.

Now all we need is a Drakh shipset.

Nevermind I think I see you in there

https://discord.gg/bHVez2C have you been their? It seems to be a discord with modders that help each other. Probably get help for rotating sections their.
