Babylon5 FTL (Technologies)
Considering the nature of the jumpgate travel in the B5 universe, it seems to be a cross between the hyperlane and warp gates. There has already been a fair bit of discussions regarding this on the old mod. Take a look for more details on how things have progressed

My current idea is to have the major races use the hyperlane tech forcing a more diplomatic approach towards navigating the Galaxy, and possibly give the Shadow and Vorlons a more direct form of travel like warp

Any thoughts on this? I'm going to be standardizing all Playable Races to use the same FTL Tech, but I haven't been able to decide if hyperspace or wormhole gates... Actual Babylon 5 universe is a hybrid of the two. Jumpgates exist, but they only travel along specific routes.

Oh crazy thought, dont know if it can work.

you keep wormhole gates, but you give them travel time like warp or hyperspace. you got to have gates.

but heres the crazy thought, you make warships "build" a jumpgate portal, as a modual or standard, it would be self damaging so it would not last long and anyone could use it to jump out.

what you really need to do is figute out how to put in game an actual "Hyperspace" map.

Is it possible to do hyperjump not from system edge (for Shadows) or from hard defined point of system?
Maybe don't let be jumpdrive for small ships before cruiser and must have after cruiser? I think FTL for main races should be hyperlane, but need Gates too(not instant travel through it).

Yeah. As far as I know, the FTL methods are hard coded in the game, so I'm not sure if a custom FTL can even be achieved. I've already customized any reference to "Wormhole" now says "Jumpgate", but it looks like that's about all the customizations that can be made with FTL.

I know this is an old topic but didn't most b5 warships have the ability to make their own jump point thingies such that it ought to be warp?

Hi SeeGee911. Any thoughts of getting this up to current? Or at the very least, making the ship skins for Vorlon and Shadow available? If that is even possible.
