New Noob here asking Noobish things.
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.
Deuternomy 22:11 explained:

Well there are many different speculations going on about this law about not mixing fibers and at least one explanation claims that it was a symbolic gesture designed to keep a pure sense of culture, people, and religion.  Seperation of crop  in the vinyard, mentioned in Dt. 22:9 and 22:10 seem to reaffirm this idea, though there may be other reasons as well.

And now, an excerpt from the Prayer of Mordecai, the Book of Esther Chapter C (New American Bible Official Catholic version).

Est C:5  You know all things.  You know, O Lord, that it was not out of insolence or pride or desire for fame that I acted thus in not bowing down to the proud Haman.  6  Gladly would I have kissed the soles of his feet for the salvation of Israel.  7  But I acted as I did so as not to place the honor of man above that of God.  I will not bow down to anyone but you, my Lord.  It is not out of pride that I am acting thus.

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. 
No-one ever listens to Zathras. Quite mad, they say. It is good that Zathras does not mind. He's even grown to like it. Oh yes. -Zathras

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.
