I know you said we were gonna use the ladder mod...Why? and Would it be alright if i didn't I would certainly prefer not to install yet another mod but I'm also an avid roleplayer and play all mine as roleplays regardless of whether any others in my game do or not and furthermore i was reading the section on not using the scifi canon but i was wondering if a shipset for say the Hyach would be ok, i have my own original self written history, description so on and so forth but i like that shipset..alot. lol thanks for answering my many questions!

I wouldn't be concerned about the mod. It's really small and just adds some balance and additional features to the standard game - some that are quite handy for role-playing.

Are the Hyach a Babylon-5 race? Anyways, Since I don't think it's a technically 'canon' shipset, that's fine - just be sure to create a unique history etc. and not based on whatever was seen on the B5 show.

All players in the game need to be using the same mod (or all unmodded) and in this case the host has selected Ladder Mod for the game - and it does have some pretty neat features, some of which I am adapting for my own custom mod for games that I play with my son on our LAN, the two of us allied against a bunch of AI empires (could not just use Ladder Mod for that b/c it has lots of stuff not understood by the AI).

you can use what ever shipset you want. ( there are so many nice sets out there.)

I will be using a ship set as well. Since I cannot make one.

Most of those features are just lifted from the Pirates and Nomads mod or the Adamant Mod.

The Hyach are most certainly a B5 canon race, you know.

But, they were rarely seen in the show, so nearly nothing is known about them. It would be difficult to RP them in a canonical way.
