Fun in FRED2 and "The Babylon Project" 2
Since my previous thread "mysteriously disappeared" for 'unknown reasons', I'm reposting this.

Screenshot#1

Screenshot#2

I got bored with the demo ships in The Babylon Project so I decided to have a little fun.  I decided to add some FS2 ships into the fray and see how they'd handle themselves against the EA and Minbari. :)  I altered the ships (except for the EA vessels) so that every turret had a beam cannon of some sort.  I decided to even things up on the GTVA side by reducing the timewait count for the beam cannons so that they'd have a chance against the Minbari.

It eventually led upto having 60 fighters and ~a dozen capital ships duking it out.  I even modified the Orion station so that it has Minbari fusion cannons and fusion AAA. :D  Needless to say, it can adequately defend itself. :p  Its actually a challenge to destroy this time. :)

As for the added ships, I brought in the GTD Orion, GTD Hades, and a Sobek. :D  Mainly cuz those are my favorite ships.  I might even port over every FS2 ship, slap them all into one big arena and let em have at it....just to see what'd happen.

To really sum it up, this sucker actually stresses my Duron 700 and Geforce3. :D

If you wanna try it, bug me on ICQ.  Just bear in mind that I am an uber Fred2 newbie so don't expect stuff like dialouge cuz all I really know how to do is make ships fire beams and how to make them warp in when something happens to a ship.

btw, what you see in the screenshots isn't even half of what's going on at that time.

I have all the files (not the patches though) if you need them. Over ICQ.

[P1mping]If you have not downloaded and played The Babylon Project yet, you can grab the core files from here. [/P1mping]

TBP Core is 58.7 MB, install it first.
TBP Core patch is 5.1 MB, install it after the core.

You have to download animations, musics and hi-res packages from somewhere else, I don't have enough space to put them all online. :sigh:

I downloaded the full pack (eventually) when it was released at the start.  Problem was the pack only had a few Earth and Mimbari ships.

I don't have the "patch" yet or any new ships....

Well according to the TBP site (before VW died), there was going to be another release pretty soon.

It was a DEMO!

There is no new ships from TBP team until release 2 is released.
For further information about TBP, see my signature.

Will release 2 include all the ships from release 1 AND the new ones or will it be a case of cutting and pasting entries in the ships.tbl?
