Release date and facts

I things go fine the demo will be released WITHIN this month , maybe in the first week of next month.

Facts at your fingertips :

- The Demo will be the first BABYLON PROJECT RELEASE.

- Unlike other fan project releases TBP didnt just change one or two ships. Though it is a Freespace 2 mod it will mostly look like a game on its own. We changed nearly everything that could be changed to create the maximum amount of Babylon 5 atmosphere.

- There will be 2 ways to get the demo :
1. You get the FULL 1-file download . Personally I expect that one to be 80-85 MB. May be more.
2. You are on 56k or less and dont have the patience to get the full version
Then you can download COMPONENTS of the mod at your own will, for example :
- Core files ( must have )
- Interface grafics ( not needed )
- music ( not needed )
- speech ( not needed )

- The Demo is a short version of the Earth-Minbari War. Later , we will release the FULL war with more missions.

- After the Minbari war ( which will be our first full campaign ) we plan to release our Main Campaign : The EARTH ALLIANCE CIVIL WAR which will come somewhere in 2002. This campaign will have 30 missions ( script already written and gets tweaked for months ) The Civil war wont be as anonymous as FS2 was , it will more resemble the wing commander series for there will be lots of characters ( the one from the series and more important : your wingmen and the crews on the ships you will be stationed on )

- The Babylon 5 station will NOT be included . However , B5 will come with the Main Campaign if we don't release it earlier.

- when you get it , read the README file .

They look like jumppoints....we've "sort of" scripted them to function properly, but its still the same as how subspace works in FS2. Aint nothing we can do about that folks.

Cool

i cant see why you think people with 56k should download the core files only, i have a 56k with a very poor connection and i download 500mb files and compared to them this is tiny!!!!!

You absolute and total bastards, it's almost as if you timed it so that I wouldn't be able to play it. I'm going to uni at the end of next week so please try to get it finished by Friday, or if possible yesterday!
