Title: New Noob here asking Noobish things.
Post by: P-90_177 on February 10, 2008, 09:31:28 pm
Hey guys. I just recently tracked down TBP to download and finally got to have a bit of a play.

First off, let me just say that the evs have made a amazing job with this game. It really does emerse you in the B5 universe. The writing for the raider wars is particularly Ace. When the Scylla blew up I got chills with the battle music from in the beginning and more than once in the campaign i got a real sense that i wasn't going to make it out alive (and sometimes didn't).

Anyway yeah so great job. But i wonder if someone........anyone could just fill me in on what's been happening since then with this since the 3.4b release. Esspecially about further official campaigns (afterall at the end of the raider wars it did mention a earth civil war campaign) I know about a few campaigns made by some quite talented fredders. indeed i've already played through a few of them (Survivor by the way is a pain in the ass but fantastic fun!!!) but i am really looking foward to playing through more of the B5 story through the eyes of the dev team. I have tried searching the forum but i can't seem to find the information i'm looking for.

Anyway thanks again to the Dev team for a so far fantastic game. I'm sure whatever comes next will only get better..........

P.S.-Sorry for being such a N00b.

To which you damn well should be!  :mad2:  (I kid, I kid.  :p :D)

As to official campaigns, I believe that the EA Civil War is still WIP, last I remember, they were in need of Voice Actors, though I could be mistaken for that.

Other Campaigns that are in the works, Orpheus has a few, namely Drums of War Part III, Black Hand Episode II, and maybe one other.
Vidmaster is doing Fortune Hunters 2260 and another campaign (name escapes me at the moment).  Terran_Emperor is going to be doing a Crusade MOD/add-on, and I think others are just in the idea/brainstorming stage.  I know I have about three campaigns that are set up in a way where they inter-relate with each other (mercenary campaign that takes place in 2259-2260, an Earth-Minbari War related campaign (explains the origins of some of the 2259-2260 campaign merc characters), and an An'la'shok campaign set approx. 2265 during the incident with the Hand (and explains what happened to at least one of the 2259-2260 campaign survivors.

Dang it we replied at the same time.  Dark Children is the other one and it has been released.  You can find it in the missions and campaigns forum.

What a meaningful comment, indeed.

P-90. You might want to track down Drums of War (parts 1 and 2) and the Black Hand episode 1. Or alternatively try to find hip63's campaign pack.
