I'm currently working on my own mini-movie...

Since it shares many aspects with NW plus i'm terrible at scripting...would it not be a good idea to combine the two projects, take the best bits from the NW storyline and put it into a movie?

The artists here are more than capable of creating movie-grade special effects and im sure we can kidnap some sound editing guys.  As for the scripts and story itself....it's there already!

Seemed like a good idea at the time at any rate ;)

Its easy when you know how ;)

Having said that, not *EVERY SINGLE* ship will make an appearance.  That would be silly...remember even a feature length movie is only 2 hours long, and to tell the whole NW story arc would very possibly make it almost 4 hours long or longer.

Its going to be a long and painful process bashing out who's story arcs go in and whos' dont, but in the end if you want the best you have to be willing to cut some stuff out (there goes all my stuff then! :p )

It would be really neat to see something like that, but wouldn't it take a lot of work? ;)

Doing the whole NW universe would be faaaar to hard. Not just because of the shear range of ship designs but there's too many sub-plots and stuff. Focusing on Sol stuff would probably be the best in term of production work and still having a good plot.

Doing the Sol war would be fun, since for people dialogue you can have the stuff Drevi and Alex said, Daniel Bosch, etc.

With the League ships done, most empires they fought were using only retrofits of League vessels, save for the NTU and TSI. At Polaris of course the CWA had some ships so that model can be used there ;)

Let's see, the major battles were: Battle of Freeworld, The Great Nebula, Polaris, Taron Prime, Tau Ceti, and Sol.

With a minor battle in the SKM, who uses entirely different ships than Sol...

Ummm... the SKM wars other than the Invasion of the TSI (The invasion of Aldebarran, the Battle of Yaarig, the Reconquest of Manticore....)
