Let's see what it does to a warlock.....
actualy, mabye not.
"When ink and pen in hands of men Inscribe your form, bipedal P They draw an altar on which God has slaughtered all stability, no eyes could ever soak in all the places you anoint, and yet to see you all at once we only need the point. Flirting with infinity, your geometric progeny that fit inside you oh so tight with triangles that feel so right."

Re: BHX Babylonian History X - WIP
Yes I think it's EA, an Omega replacement, but I'm not 100% sure and if I get it wrong B5 fans will let me know about it. I can include it easily enough. There's space for 3 capital ships. Currently I have them listed as Nova, Omega, Omega. So you've got a 2 in 3 chance of getting an Omega and a Nova otherwise. I could change that to Nova, Omega, Warlock, or dump the Nova entirely and go Omega, Omega, Warlock. Anyone got a prereference?

Re: BHX Babylonian History X - WIP
Ok sorry. My bad. When my campaign makes missions and it sees a capital ship belonging to a particular race. It picks one of three capital ship classes at random. I was asking what everyone thought those should be for the EA.

Re: BHX Babylonian History X - WIP
Is this for fire support or enemy ships, if its fire support, then I'd rather have warlock on my team,. althouh to be quite honest in favour of balance i'd prefer a warlock with two omegas, chancewise rather than have a Nova turn up against a "bonhead cruiser"...

They are cruisers. I differenciate between cruisers and capital ships now. The Olympus vs a Bin'tak problem I discussed earlier. I will be adding a gunboat catagory too when Triv finishes the Halik. Which will be used for light escort duties and include ships such as... the Halik  ;7... the whitestar, and the firehawk. Oh how I look forward to the Halik.

Yes I'm thinking 2 omegas and a warlock too. Nova may have an appearance as a planetary assault cap. I can't do special cases like Nova vs Sharlin though. I'm strapped for sexp tree nodes as it is.

Re: BHX Babylonian History X - WIP
It really depends.  Since timetables could potentially be all over the board, it's hard to pin down an era that's appropriate.  I would go with 2 Omega 1 Warlock, though.  If you let the Nova in, we'd have Nova's and Warlocks showing up in the same war, and that just wouldn't add up.

 
Re: BHX Babylonian History X - WIP
I'm not so sure about this... As far as I get it, BHX simulates an all out war, kind of "fight or face extinction".... Im absolutely sure EA would then use EACH and EVERY ship available....
I don't think, you could implement this in the calculations? If you have some phyrric victory (or SOME of them) you might gain momentum (= more ships? how is it reflected? sry, forgot about this detail) but only few of them are newest models....

If this is hard to implement forget me mentioning it. I guess hardly anyone would notice it in the heat of battle and it would only push the release out further... as one of the 5 persons waiting for the game (probably its a little more than 5 don't u think???) i don't want such minor changes making us all have to wait even longer... *chewing on fingernails*

I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but what about the capship names....are they also randomized for each and every battle....

What kind of ship is Halik ?
Non-canon I assume ?
Rig:
A8N-SLI Premium
AMD 64 X2 4200+
GF 7950 GT
X-FI ExtremeMusic
HEC 550W
2 Gt RAM
Win XP

 
Re: BHX Babylonian History X - WIP
I was just remembering the Novas and how they were around in season 2.  In fact, a nova came with all the upgrade equipment to upgrade B5 defenses before going on that planetary assult.  I think you can assume a Nova from Season 2 is allot more powerful then the Novas of the Dilgar or Earth Mimbari war.   I am sure they were still in service 3 years later at the end of series and allot cheaper without a rotating section.  The warlock is allot more guesswork.

A non-canon Brakiri fighter-killing gunboat.

Re: BHX Babylonian History X - WIP
Some new skyboxes sounds like a fantastic idea. Best leave the missions to me though as the framework has become much more complex since last we spoke :(. I know you're a smart guy and everything but to be honest I'd just as soon spare you the headaches of having to work with it. Although you could go through finished missions and sort out the diologue and messaging events. Download the latest version of the campaign when you get chance and give it a try. I think you'll be happy with the way it's gone in your absence.

Re: BHX Babylonian History X - WIP
Having seen the framework I tend to agree that only the person who wrote it will understand it without a lot of work :D

Every once in a while I get tempted to add a commenting system to missions. It's only the amount of work that's probably involved that puts me off.
