Important Announcement

Sun Mar 30, 2003 7:12 pm by RubberEagle

In short: we will switch to Freelancer.
As much as it breaks my heart to do this, I doubt that we would be able to finish the mod with starlancer. It seems more and more unlikely that the missioneditor will come out, and Freelancer on the other hand is much easier to mod.
We will probably at first just port the campaign i've written for SL (with a few minor modifications), and maybe (if there's interest, and we have the capacity to do that) then create a universe for open-ended gameplay (and who knows, maybe another campaign after that, but first we'll have to finish this one).
I very much hoped we could do the mod for StarLancer, as i very much like the flight-engine, and i'm sorry if you are dissapointed.
This step wasn't done lightly, rest assured. I was struggling with this issue for the last few months.
btw, this wasn't the announcement i was talking a few weeks ago...

RubberEagle - Project Lead

p.s.: this shouldn't affect my work on the SL HOG creator

jesus, that looks cool.

i'm not a babylon 5 fan, so i don't know if that's a ship from the series or not, but i do know what i like, and that looks very nice.

good luck with the rest of the mod guys.

I know a friend of mine who would just love to use a whitestar/bluestar/whatever other color of star.

Hell yeah .. This is great news for me! ;p

BTW, don't forget that Babylon 5 season 2 is coming to DVD this month (You can pre-order at Amazon.com)

On the surface, Babylon 5 seems like an odd choice for a Freelancer mod. B5 was one of the very few popular science fiction worlds that at least tried to depict some realistic space flight and combat. The characters in B5 were mainly military personnel who were required to follow the chain of command. Missions served a military goal. There wasn't a whole lot of wandering about trading commodities and upgrading Starfuries with the latest PPGs and missiles smuggled in from a Narn outpost.

So, with all that in mind, what kind of B5 mod are you going to make? Is this just going to plunk B5 ship meshes into the Freelancer story line, or are you trying to remake the game around the themes of the B5 world?

well, the current campaign really isn't a "freelancer" story, it was originally developed for starlancer, so it's not that free...
but in the b5 universe, there are persons like freelancers, just think of cathrine sakai (Sinclair's love interest in season 1).
after our campaign we'll probably release a freeform/multiplayer universe.. after that... well, i have tons of ideas for stories, some that can be done in a FL like way...

The ship looks awesome. I hope this adds longevity to Freelancer. Great piece of work.

i love the screenie

Great work, keep it up guy´s, we freelancers are counting on you =)

Is there more screen shoots to drool on ??

Wed Apr 02, 2003 10:13 pm by RubberEagle

from freelancer not yet..
i've only yet imported 2 ships, the tbolt and an omega destroyer, but the omega has messed up textures and missing polygons, so i won't show it yet...
there is a new screene here though...

Darn StarLancer mission editor.
