Steiner, it would be a good idea to oh, I don't know, post something about asking for help instead of just throwing pictures up there.

[SteinerX]

Done! Sorry I'm more of a visual person ...

Have you thougth about asking permission to use some of the TBP stuff? I mean they have everything you need so if you could get some help or at least the models it might be a big step for you.

[SpardaSon21]

Wasn't there some huge problem over the TBP models when Zathras was first being created though?  I remember reading about IPAndrews banning use of any TBP models he worked on.

No ... I hadn't ... who would be the best person to ask?

[Demitri]

could ask here http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?board=105.0

or you could pm FUBAR or Vidmaster but tbh its a bit of a minefield because of previous, erm... disagreements shall we say?

After viewing it ingame decided to add more details:

[Demitri]

I have to say i loved B5 and the Omega Destroyer is one of my all time favourite ships, but what is it with the EA and their Flying Bricks of Doom?!

More "flying bricks of Doom" to come!

[NGTM-1R]

That is a seriously ugly flying brick.

And you know there's the AoG oldEA fleet if you're that short of ideas, right?

[SteinerX]

And you know there's the AoG oldEA fleet if you're that short of ideas, right?

Where can I find that?

[NGTM-1R]

I'd suggest consulting torrents or the like if possible, as the company went out of business in 2002 or something.

[Bobboau]

No ... I hadn't ... who would be the best person to ask?

you would want to talk to IP Andrews because apparently he was the whole team.

I'd say you could have my Sharlin, but it seems you already have that covered.

[SteinerX]

Thanks for the offer! And, yes we got that one ... but always looking for others if they offered!
