Shadows shipset

Very nice. I just downloaded a copy. I'll let you know how it goes after I get a chance to use it (in my next game).

Just installed it and it looks great so far. Thumbs up!

Very nice! Are you working in any mora Babylon 5 shipsets?

Still playing with it and all's well so far. Thumbs up.

I used to have that problem, with ships going into warp points and ending outside the hex grid. I installed the game again and I never had the problem again, so I didn't said anything in the forum earlier.

I also thought the problem could be caused by new systems that I added to Balance Mod. They had 9-10 planets and many moons. I think I read somewhere that too many objects in a system will cause problems. I stopped using these systems and it never happened again.

I imagine that this is not your case so the problem must be caused by something else and I was luck.

Another possible reason is if your settings are not defined as English-US. Mine were not. I changed it to avoid problems with Genesis map editor at the same time I installed the game again and stopped using the new systems.

Maybe some of this will help you.

I've had a few instances of the ships appearing outside of the circle in combat and instantly retreating. Thought it was a game bug but it hasn't caused any major issues.

I like how the Shadow ships seem to sparkle when they move.

Do you plan to submit this set to the SEnet Downloads Database? Not doing so will almost guarantee that it will slide into obscurity soon after this thread dies..

These puppies are just crying out for a mod that allows them their own unique tech tree

Thank you again. These ship sets are amazing. I love the entire Babylon 5 space ship concept. I have collected all the Agents of Gaming pewter miniatures and paint up the fleets to exact TV replicas. Your models are awesome.

My favorite fleets are the Brakiri and Narn. I have pewter miniature armies of both completely finished. I also have all the AOG Babylon 5 Wars books and ship sheets. I don't know if that information would assist in building race specific B5 shipsets...but at least the different size classes and types of ships would be available to SE model builders looking to build B5 ships. I am loving the IA fleet...I was happy to see the Hyperion model was included as a light cruiser because that is my all time favorite B5 ship.

Simply awesome.

I just love the Shadows primary weapon (the cutting laser). That is something that can be modded in. Is there any weapon animation similar to that in the game?

Cool. Thanks.

Role on the Vorlons!!!

Blackswan, I should have asked your permission for this, but I hope you don't mind that the Shadows are now available for PBW games?

Very nice, even if the Borg look a bit lost in the B5 universe
Small note on the flag icons: when used with BM they do not scale down like the other races. Does this require the addition of new images for those? I installed the Shadows under the BM folder, so if I need to resize some files it won't affect stock games or other mods for me.

You need to manually edit the flag images in Photoshop or another image editing application.

Blackswan,

Can/will you do a miniature set of flags for the IA shipset as well?

Loyalty above all else except honor.

Already done those for my game a few days back.

Thanks for the smaller flags. I have just encountered my first issue with illegal object placement. When I wanted to drop some mines at a warp point they appeared at the other side of the map and outside the grid. The only way to get to them is via the Ships > Our units screen, but I don't know where to look to see what the co-ordinates would be.

Heck, you're right, my sats are also at (-100,-100). No idea how they got there though. I have launched plenty of mines at other warp points without any problems.

I'll see if I can change the duration to match the rate of fire. That should do it.

Just letting you know that your IA shipset is now on PBW.

Shadow already there?

this looks really good nice 1

Well, I've gone ahead and posted them for prevention of obscurity...

woot! for some reason the other link wouldn't work. now to figure out which version of zip to use....

No version of zip; you'll need something that can handle rar archives, such as 7-zip or WinRar.

These look greaet Well Done Mate.

Ok, sorry for the thread necro, but I have a question. I am having trouble downloading this shipset. I am pretty sure I am doing it right. I get the file as winrar, select shadows and select extract to and then select Empires. But as winrar supposedly extracts the files it gives me the messages "the system cannot find the path specified" and "cannot create shadows" etc etc.

How to fix this?

Glad to hear you're still going at the B5 ship sets

Ah, thank you.

There, it works! Now to play as the Shadows.
