Ok let's hear them. Campaigns you thought about doing and then thought better of it. Or maybe silly campaigns that you'd like to see made just for comedy value.

[NGTM-1R]

Anything involving flying a Sharlin, or a Warlock. And having control of the main guns.

[Colonol Dekker]

A raider campaign, flying from the side of the raiders, any mission involving an assault on the EA or any other "proper" team = suicide/

[Trivial Psychic]

Any re-creations of events in "Legend of the Rangers".

You can do that in BHX and yes it is rubbish.

[Col. Fishguts]

I once wrote a rough script for a 10-mission raider campaign. But always flying in the Zephyr wouldn't be much fun, especially against Starfuries.

I once had a centauri vs. centauri campaign in mind...
--you know battling other centauri nobles for the influnce in the Centaurum and a place at the Emperor's side which "rightfully yours"--

Turn the thing into a full blown civil war and you've got a good idea for a campaign. You could even do the non-linear thing to it and have a map of Centauri systems and have rival houses fight for rulership. Something like Defender of the Crown.

Don't temp me! I've got 3 other campaings on the go (Awakening of the Beast; The Black Hand - Ep. 2; First Contact) and I'm updating one ( http://www.tbp.relichost.net/forum/index.php?topic=25.0 )

but... if I had a B5 starchart (the link on the TBP page is not responding) I could provide you with a concept for that --
I'll run a couple of turns to see how centauri ships stand against another...

Sorry man. If you were to go the non-linear strategy game route it would probably be better off in my court anyway. It would be a variation on BHXX. Rip out the code that calculates casualties and have battle results and casualties all decided by playing a mission. Giving each side one move on the game map per turn. The interface would be a pain in the ass but it's do-able. All using SEXPs and subtitle images. The AI to allow the CPU to decide what move to make on any particular turn? That's less fun . Also do-able though. I could pick moves at random until it finds one it likes the look of. Make it less picky as time goes on so it will eventually make a move no matter what. All quite achievable. Since there are no arrays though th e number of systems would have to be kept relatively small.

Nah, I've canned it for now. It was replaced on my to-do-sometime-in-the-distant-future-list with a Narn vs. Centauri mini campaign with the player on the Narn side. It splits up into 2 differrent campaign paths, and the best thing is you die in both endings

That would have taken them by surprise .

that's a campaign (or any of it's kind) we all had in mind once a time, didn't we? - 2nd Narn-Centauri-War-sickness

EA in Dilgar War campaign
did 2 missions using proxy fighters

[Turey]

I've had a REALLY hard time not making a campaign where you fly interceptors at 350m/s and go into another dimension where you find swarms of Shivans, who have had all of their engines bumped to 350m/s as well.

It's like my version of BoE. An insane amount of small, fast-as-hell ships, as opposed to a large number of large, slow-as-hell ships.

EA in Dilgar War campaign

I've heard that this might become doable in the not-that-far-but-still-not-near future...

[rynadrk]

I was trying out making a Drazi campaign going from events in S1 Babylon 5 up to the shadow war.  Then skipping the shadow war and going straight to the war with the centauri.

[Prophet]

Why would you skip the shadow war?

[0rph3u5]

Why would you skip the shadow war?

'cause it's not important? 

[rynadrk]

I wouldn't do it mostly because it's expected.  Other than that, I don't think there is a lot of story behind the battles of the shadow war.  Most all the battles end up being BoE in nature which I'm not a fan.  Plus there is a lot more room to tell stories between just the races of the non-aligned worlds before the shadow war then just after the shadow war.

Besides all that, I'm sick of fighting shadow vessels, I want to see some vree, brakiri, drazi fighters battling it out of border disputes.
