Will the Raider C&C ship (seen in midnight on the firing line) be in the mod??

What was the Belt Alliance exactly?

As for the first question, it s not my place to say, since I'm not part of the MOD team.

For the second question, however, the Belt Alliance were a defense force group based in the Orion System's human colonies. There general goal was to maintain order in that sector of space, using the Zepher 109 Fighter as a peacekeeping vessel.

The Belt Alliance was disbanded or destroyed when Pirates started using this combat vessel as their primary space superiority fighter.

According to AOG the Belt Alliance where formed to protect the the mining covoys traveling too and from the asteriod belt from piracy. The Zepher (Called te Delta fighter back then) Fighter was a joint ventre between the newly formed Earth Alliance. After the Delta-V the Earth alliance broke off the arrangment to persue the Starfury program. The Belt Alliance current operates in the outer colonies escourting ships. the currently deploy the Delta-V, Starfox Class Starfury (an older version of the starfury) and a few other fighters classes.

That fighter is non-canon and EA has enough fighters and that design is not practical for EA anyways, so I'm almost fully sure that it won't be included ever.

Instead he means this fighter:



Edit: Oh dumb me... I should read posts more carefully... anyways "Fox" fighter is still non-canon... I still don't think it will be included but it can happen...

If yall do the Dilgar War (another major battle that would be cool to have, but prolly hard to make cause of little info about it), then the Fox and other fan made early EA fighters and ships could be used. The EA didn't always have Hyperions and Novas, and from what I've read, seems sorta generally accepted that Starfurys didn't get introduced and put into major use till around the Dilgar War.

But, your the devs, so it's your call, and I won't complain as long as the full game is a good as the demo.

Are you talking about the big Rotating Raider ship with Zephyr fighters attatched to the sides?

Its in the works, but we're having problems locating a really good reference high polygon mesh oops, I hope I didint leak info

the Belt Alliance was formed when all the belts of the world got sick and tired of being tied around people.... so they took revenge... and they were deadly... 3 billion people were whipped (get it?) out before the belts were destroyed...

...sorry

No, I don't mean the Raider Battle Wagons, what I mean is som sort of station, it was hiding in a asteroid field in that episode, when Sinclair found it.

The Narn C&C ship that had been sold to the Raiders is what he's talking about I believe. It was used by the Raiders, but built by the Narn. Finding it was one of the reasons the Narns had to eventually give up Ragesh 3 because they found top secret info on it.

No...thats not the ship.

FIRST EPISODE. Midnight on the Firing line if that jogs any memories. Its a little C&C outpost the Raiders were using in the asteroid belt. No, it will probably not be in any time soon. Unless someone on the team gets a picture from the episode and is so desperate to do something and does it
