Future shipsets

The problem wouldn't be with these guys, but with B5's license holder (Warner Bros). Evidently they are getting pretty stingy. The company that held the B5 license for paper & miniature games (Agents of Gaming) had that license yanked Last fall, and they had to close their doors.

Well, AoG still exists, but they aren't allowed to produce the gaming books for B5 anymore.

On the site there is a message (right on the first page you get to see) calling for cold hard cash. well, I'm not greedy, but I am causious. So I won't do it, but this is (I think) one of the few ways to help them. If they attract enough publicity (banners, conversation, links) they might get a visit from a publisher (or they are at least in a better position to do business with a publisher).

Sadly, no. If you go to their website it says they went out of business 1 Nov 02.

Oh, ouch. Well, good thing I keep semi-regular contact with AgentOne from them. Damn shame they had to close their doors.

there is a B5 game in developement along the same lines as Into The FIre but a hell of a lot better graphically and gameplay wise, its called I Found Her, i know its a wierd name but u have to read the story line, which is very good might i add, behind the game to understand it http://ifh.firstones.com/ Its an independent game and its freeware (YAY) so they have no issues with the companies who know rights to B5.

Remember if your developing shipsets please let trooper know.... even send him your latest..

And if you could let me know as well that would be great....

There is a B5 mod/scenario for Freespace.

For more screenshots follow the link above.

I've played freespace 1 & 2 and they're real fun. Haven't tried the B5 ver but a friend of mine has and he says it's really impressive. Especially when the capital ships beams starts!
