B5 Shadows Ship Set

Description
"As always, chaos is the way to strength [...] Chaos is the engine powering life. The spread of chaos is our triumph. And the greatest joy is the ecstasy of victory."
– A Shadow, 2260


This mod contains Shadows ships from Babylon 5.
Mod includes all ship types and stations from vanilla game.

Models are highly detailed, let me know if you have performance issues.

Recommended mods to use with Shadows ship set:
B5 Species - Shadows
B5 Addons: No Exhaust Trails
B5 Addons: Music
B5 Ship Sets:
Vorlon Ship Set
Narn Ship Set
Centauri Ship Set
Minbari Ship Set
EA Ship Set


Planned improvements:
Weapon locators - Since Shadows ships fire from their "mouth" implementation of lore friendly turret positions is complicated. And it probably will be done as separate Shadows Species mod because of compatibility issues.

Death Cloud - Current colossus model is temporal. Making an actual Death Cloud involve a lot of animations and I wasn't able to find a way to create them, yet. It also require new colossus weapon and will be done as part of Shadows Species mod because of compatibility issues.

Better Textures - Current texture was made by using Stellaris assets. It's pretty nice, but doesn't look like Shadows at 100%. Sadly I'm not skilled with Photoshop, so finding appropriate texture gonna take time. Done.

New models - Some models will be redone from scratch for diversity improvements.

Compatibility:
Compatible with every mod, except the ones that add new ship classes and sections or change scaling. These mods will require a compatibility patch.

Built-in сompatibility:
- NSC2 Support.

Compatibility Patches:
Downscaled Ships

Credits:
Mod based on models from B5 Conflicts of Loyalty 2
Juggenaut model based on model originally created by Andrey Kurin.

Without the correct entries for every ship it is not biological even if its shown as Bio.
It still has cruiser, battleship and so on in it, and you cannot build those, since if you play a bioship set it requieres Bioship entrys.

It just simple ment that its outdatet and needs an update to either work correctly as bioships or just keep it with a simple fix in mechanical, so people can sitll play it.

Also to make this b iological, it would mean that people without Biogenesis cannot continue playing this set anymore.

Simple said:
I know Shadow are biological, i just made the point for the modauthor that it needs a update either way

idk what Fran's problem is. In the lore, Shadows ships...ARE...Biological...

Thanks nice work. I wish we had a BSG shipset.

Mod updated with a hotFix to allow ship set to be selected. It is not biological at the moment.

this is an easy fix. the shadows_01_graphical_culture.txt needs the ship_type code added in order to work in 4.0..

I will try to find some time to look at it. This ships should be biological though :)
Fran 7 May @ 9:05am 
On Update 4.0 This ship is now biological. It needs a new update :)

Hey, thanks for your great work. Just some feedback. In the B5 series your current science model serves also in battles. It would make a great corvette to improve ship diversity.

I hope you bring this to Sins of a solar empire 2 as well
