Title: Playing as other ships?
Post by: Orinoco on September 22, 2005, 12:45:16 pm

Hi,

I started playing The Babylon Project the other day, as I'm a big B5 fan, and I saw the game in PC Zone.

Anyway, my question is, how do I go about playing as other ships? Ie. Not starfuries.

I've played on loads of campaigns and missions, but I'm always a Starfury.

How can I be something else?:(

In some single missions you can fly other ships...
try mission pack 1
there're  2 missions there: in one you fly a sentri and in the other a zephyr...
in all other missions you fly a starfury though ;)

Try also this freespace academy
campaign 5 mission 2 by Primus
The link is in the bottom post of this thread (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,31419.0.html)

The best way is to make your own mission and unlock all the craft... using FRED
throw in some capships enemy wings
your ships and wings
save to TBP/data/missions - the same goes for all single missions except mission pack 1

also try the Reflections campaign as this is during your ranger training and the first 6 ranger missions in the heat em up campaign.

in this campaign you play star fury, narn frazi fighter, Minbari Nial fighter, Minbari Tishat, Minbari Lintra transport.

May I aslo add that the B5 Heat em up campaign will include many differnt ships as you can go on missions with different races and depending on your actions given the chance to change your career eg rangers, Centauri, Raiders etc.

If you play the Raider Wars missions in the techroom you can play as anything except the First One fighters (including the Whitestar!)

Theres also a thunderbolt and a Narn Frazi mission in mission pack 1 isnt there?

But I do think there should be more missions where you fly alien ships, it actually changes the gameplay qite a bit. Im getting vey bored with the starfury. But if you wait a little the Babylon history x campaign is looking very exciting!:D I cant wait to play hole camaigns as the leauge of non aligned worlds and the centauri and the Narns.
