OMEGA DESTROYER nameplate thread
I am making new texture maps for fred2's texture replacement feature, so we can have nameplates for all our Omega destroyers.

http://free.pages.at/skullar/omega-nameplates_1.zip




1. If you have a campaign in development and want a nameplate for a destroyer, drop me a note here, since it is a matter of a minute for me to make the respective texture maps.

2. If you PM me ( for example for secret requests ) at least write HERE that you PMed me, for I always forget to check my messages without someone telling me to do so ! lol

Re: OMEGA DESTROYER nameplate thread
Don't forget the Cerberos (Matthew Gideon's old destroyer), and the Cortez (an EA Explorer Vessel).
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.

Mannerheim and Backgammon would be my names of choice. :drevil:

EDIT: And Apalling. How could I forget the Apalling... :eek:

But then again, they would be Amigo class destroyers... :(

Re: OMEGA DESTROYER nameplate thread
I have done all the maps I announced earlier, and put all your suggestions here on a to do list

I dont know where Midwinters, Warlocks and Explorers have their nameplates, so far I did only Omegas.

There is an issue when it comes to NOVA dreadnought.
On the Omegadestroyer , there are 2 texture maps used for left and right side of the ship. Therefore, the nameplates appear as they do. For the Nova dreadnought, the texture "shines through", meaning that from one side you can see the nameplate as it should be, but from the other side it is mirrored.
This looks stupid, unless someone retextures the Nova there is no way to bypass this problem, unless you use names like "OTTO"

"Endgame" and "No surrender no retreat" missions will be in the civil war campaign too ( how about YOU helping me with doing the campaign ? ) and I think I could give it a try with a badly damaged Omega.

taylor, our friend and coder from the source code project told me, in the future you will have texture replacements as SEXP, meaning that you can see the AGAMEMNON for instance BEFORE and AFTER it got hammered by the GOD-sats, but thats not yet implemented.

I will see to all your OMEGA-requests and report back later, you'll hear from me most probably on MONDAY.

Re: OMEGA DESTROYER nameplate thread

The Juno is already done and present in the release you all have ! !!!!!

The archive will also feature the following : ( some already done )


    * EAS Acheron - Delivered Captain Elizabeth Lockley to Babylon 5 in 2262 so that she could assume command of the station following Captain John Sheridan's election to the post of President of the Interstellar Alliance.

    * EAS Achilles - First Omega-class destroyer Built.

    * EAS Agamemnon - John Sheridan was the Captain of this ship before being reassigned to the command of Babylon 5. He later commanded the final battle of the Earth Civil War from this ship.

    * EAS Agrippa - Captained by Dexter Smith, one of four ships sent by President Clark to seize Babylon 5 on 4-14-2260 to prevent its secession from the Earth Alliance. Destroyed by Babylon 5's defense grid during the battle.

    * EAS Alexander - One of the key vessels involved in the Earth civil war of 2260 - 2261.

    * EAS Anubis- Mentioned by General Thompson in 2267.

    * EAS Apollo - General Lefcourt's flagship during the final stages of the Earth Civil War in 2261. Led a fleet of Earth destroyers to oppose Sheridan near Mars. Saved Sheridan by destroying the orbital defense platform he was about to ram.

    * EAS Cadmus - Fought for President Clark in the Earth civil war. Commanded by Captain Leo Frank.

    * EAS Cerberus - Destroyed by a Shadow warship while on deep patrol circa 2257. Only Ensign Matthew Gideon survived the attack.

    * EAS Charon - Captained by Leonard Anderson. Fought on the side of President Clark during the Earth Civil War in 2261. Later took over command of the Victory during Babylon 5: A Call to Arms.

    * EAS Churchill - Captained by Sandra Hiroshi. One of the ships on the resistance side of the Earth civil war. Destroyed on 4-15-2260 when her captain rammed her into the EAS Roanoke after taking heavy damage defending Babylon 5 from President Morgan Clark's forces. The Churchill's first and last appearance was in the Season 3 Episode "Severed Dreams"

    * EAS Damocles - Fought on the side of President Clark during the Earth Civil War in 2261. Disabled in battle near Beta IX.

    * EAS Delphi - Fought for President Clark in the 2261 Earth civil war.

    * EAS Furies - Involved in the 2261 blockade of Proxima III. She decided to stand down rather than fire on Sheridan's forces. She joined Sheridan's forces following the battle.

    * EAS Heracles - One of two vessels that attacked civilian vessels attempting to leave Proxima III in 2261. Flagship of the Proxima III blockade force. Commanded by Captain Trevor Hall, who was later relieved of command by his executive officer, Commander Sandra Levitt. Taken to Beta IX for repairs following liberation of Proxima by Captain John Sheridan. Commander Levitt kept the Heracles a neutral ship for the rest of the war.

    * EAS Hermes- Flagship of the fleet that fought the Drakh during the Battle of Earth, 2267.

    * EAS Hydra - Fought for President Clark in the 2261 Earth civil war.

    * EAS Juno - Involved in the 2261 blockade of Proxima III. Withdrew without engaging Sheridan's forces.

    * EAS Medusa - Stationed near the rebellious mining colony at Regula 4 in 2267.

    * EAS Nemesis - Involved in the blockade of Proxima III in 2261, where she was disabled and surrendered to Sheridan’s forces. However, she is seen amongst General Lefcourt's fleet at Mars near the end of the Earth Civil War, so it seems the ship rejoined Clark’s forces following after-action repairs.

    * EAS Nimrod - Sent by President Clark to support the seizure of Babylon 5 on 4-15-2260. Retreated following Delenn's arrival.

    * EAS Olympic - Sent by President Clark to support the seizure of Babylon 5 in 2260. Retreated following Delenn's arrival.

    * EAS Orion - Fought on the side of President Clark during the Earth Civil War in 2261, when she was disabled in battle near Beta IX. In 2267, was stationed with EAS Medusa at Regula 4.

    * EAS Persephone - Lost in action following the Drakh attack on Earth in 2267. Pursued and forced a Drakh ship down on Ceti 4, but was destroyed when battle damage caused the fusion reactors to overload. Only a message drone survived.

    * EAS Pollux - One of two vessels involved in illegal attacks on civilian vessels in 2261. She was destroyed in 2261 when a severely damaged White Star vessel collided with her.

    * EAS Pournelle - On Mars patrol in the 2250's and saw action during the 2258 Mars Rebellion, where she shot down Abel Horn's escape ship. However, it is indicated on screen that this is not a destroyer, but rather a cruiser. It is therefore possible that the Pournelle is a different ship based on the Nova/Omega heritage. However, it should be noted that the ship is mentioned when Talia Winters performs a scan on Abel Horn. Not being an Earth Alliance officer she might not know the ship class.

    * EAS Roanoke - Sent by President Clark On 4-14-2260 to seize Babylon 5. Destroyed on 4-15-2260 when rammed by the destroyer EAS Churchill (Severed Dreams). When John Sheridan was captured by the Earth Alliance in 2261, he was accused of destroying the vessel himself.

    * EAS Talos - Supervised decommissioning of Babylon 5 in 2281.

    * EAS Theseus - Part of Sheridan's fleet during the assault on Earth's Planetary Defense Network near the end of the Earth Civil War in 2261.

    * EAS Vesta - Involved in the 2261 blockade of Proxima III. Commanded by Captain Edward MacDougan. Refused to fire on civilian refugees, and stood down rather than fight Sheridan. Following the battle at Proxima III, the Vesta joined Sheridan's fleet and fought in a number of engagements against Clark's forces.

    * EAS Zeus - Part of General Lefcourt's fleet near Mars near the end of the Earth Civil War in 2261. ("Endgame")

EAS Hades - Omega-Class destroyer assigned for special operations in late 2262/ early 2263; destroyed by Drakh forces in early 2263

I would nameplates for 4 furhter Omegas for my upcoming campaings (once I can start working on em again):

EAS Ares - Omega-Class destroyer assigned to support Narn Defense forces at the Centauri border in mid 2262
EAS Mercurio - Omega-Class destroyer assigned to conduct special operations in 2267; caught at the edge of the black hole since 2267
EAS Poseidon - Omega-Class destroyer assigned to conduct special operations in 2267; destroyed by unknown attackers in 2267

Re: OMEGA DESTROYER nameplate thread
Noted....

EAS Poseidon is also featured in 1 mission of civil war campaign. The destroyer deploys spy-probes and is forced to withdraw by the Alexander.
So, this doesnt interfere with your intentions I presume :)

Re: OMEGA DESTROYER nameplate thread
Just looked at the Babylon Project Mission Editor.  There already exists the EAS Poseidon, but it's a carrier.  Not sure if this throws in a monkey wrench.
