The Babylon Project

All Babylon 5 and space combat simulator fans can now rejoice! The Babylon Project team recently released the newest version of their game. It began as a mod for Freespace 2, but 3.0 is a stand-alone download, meaning that Freespace 2 is no longer required! If you have bandwith, try it.

The quality is excellent! The base download comes with a demo campaign about the Earth-Minbari war, but there's also an additional mission pack available for download. All sorts of ships from various races are included, as well as a mission editor.





Also, don't forget the other, probably even more ambitous Babylon 5 freeware game "I've Found Her" >> http://ifh.firstones.com/ This one has a realistic flight model that obeys the laws of physics.

Its fun, its pretty, and the writing is AWFUL.

Starfuries jumping left right and centre! Everything is agile (good) and has heaps of hitpoints (bad). Some missions are scripted very badly, and are unnesicarily difficult because of this. Its very, very good; the models are excellent, the lighting works, I love how dark space is... but really, they had a few missions where Starfuries had to jump out at gates or with a cap, and then seemed to just forget about it.

Um, Stark, no offense intended, but at least to me you're not making all that much sense, especially as you didn't say WHICH of the games you're talking about.

*gives GOTLF card*
While I'm afraid IFH's realistic flight model may be beyond me, to be able to finally fly a Starfury at all was easily worth the download. Thank you.

W...t...f? Jump-point generators in a STARFURY? What kind of crack are these people smoking, and what's it cut with? Gotta be a hallucinogen of some sort.

Np, Bats. There was plenty of discussion about IFH a year ago, but nothing ever since.




@ White Haven

The Babylon Project is based on Freespace 2, so it has its limits like these. In the end it's up to the mission designers to enable jumps only in the vicinity of jump gates or bigger ships.

I don't really care about such details myself. Two good freeware Babylon 5 games are more than we deserve.



I just discovered my stash of CDs filled with dozens of most important Babylon 5 episodes story-wise, I'm done with exams for over a month, and the next time I have courses is Friday . . . B5, here I come!
