Actually I was hoping to write up a PsiCorp campaign set about the time of the whole Mars debacle.

However some sort of prequel such as the Dilgar wars seems interesting, though I am not sure where much information on the Dilgar can be attained.

Similarly I also wrote up a concept for a plotline for a mini campaign, probably multiplayer due to difficulty on the frontier of EA-Vorlon territory set just prior to B5.

Overall a "dispute" on territory which leads to a small Vorlon taskforce (some fighters and a light transport or resupply craft) systematically annihilating your EA fleet as you try to warn Earth of their 'shifting lines.'

i can just see it - 10 omegas sitting there happily - then a vorlon supply ship jumps in - run everyone its a vorlon supply ship we're all dooooooooomed - worst thing is a vorlon supply ship would be easily able to take them too they would jsut have to hope it wasn'ta transport or they would truely be in trouble

Don't underestimate the weaponry on an Omega or any ship for that matter.

In one battle scene, we briefly see two T-Bolts blasting away at a Vorlon fighter which quickly disintegrates from the blasts. A Vorlon transport ship is quite powerful, but out of 10 Omegas, at least one would be able to get a bead on the ship and put a reasonbly sized hole through it with one of its weapons. Its not shooting bb guns here people.

Thats not discounting that a group of Vorlon fighters in attack formation couldn't take down an Omega in seconds or that the same cruiser could potentially outwit those fleet of Omega's and kill most of them.

i think for the battle scene purposes they down graded the enemy ships either that or the fighter had probally taken several hits from a sharlin first

Vorlon ships rule

Who is making the raider campaign? When will it take place (2258?)? Will the player be flying for the raiders or against them? All other info would also be useful.

I'm making a small campaign myself where raiders will have a big role and, depending on when the "official" raider campaing will take place and what lines it will go, I would like to make it happen after or before it.

****** BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP **********

We always said we want to have a campaign for EACH race and fraction.
We meant we wanna have AT LEAST one campaign for each fraction . No one says there is no more than one campaign allowed.

If you have a good idea for a campaign then make it. We JUST have to be cautious with campaigns that replay events seen in the show. it would be .... strange if there are multiple campaigns dealing with the same plot and being somehow contradictive.

So. Don't be so depressed , be CREATIVE !

Greetings , Skullar

Is it just campaigns you are interested in? Or is it mission
ideas as well? You know kind of like the filler episodes
they had on B5 as a break from the main storyline.
I'm just curious as to whether one off missions will be left
until everything is released and people can do them themselves,
or will some be included?

We are interested in anything that could enrich TBP.
complete campaigns .... mission ideas ..... nice idea that could make up a plot somehow......

on my HD there also is a txt-file called BRAINSTORMING where I gather Ideas of any kind.
These Ideas stand ready to be included somewhere somehow if there is a good opportunity.

extract from my brainstorm.txt :

- Somewhere it is discovered that a large amount of quantium40 has disappeared. The governent has build a secret jumpgate in a system found by IPX. There a downed Vorlon vessel from the last great war is examined. The hyperspace beacon is masked so no one is supposed to learn of this secret site. When the beacon is detected things grow worse coz others plan to get their hands on vorlon technology.

- Edgars Industries is not the only great firm that moved against the telepaths. Anothger firm is secretly working to improve the drug DUST to use it as a weapon against the telepaths. The Psi-Corps and the firm fight a war behind the scenes ... this could be either a PSICORPS campaign or a EA campaign dealing with officers who somehow learn of this and try to settle the conflict.

- During the fight with the THIRDSPACE aliens some have escaped the meelee to hide somewhere in hyper or normal space. They want to build a thirdspace gate on their own, establish a link to their realm and once again bring in their fleets.
When the ISA learns about this all races cooperate to hunt down the last escapees so they can't finish their evil plans.
But that is not as easy as it seems , Many vessels have fallen under the influence of the aliens telepathy. This time, even the PSI CORPS has to go along and help to eliminate this threat.

- The Raiders are a loose organisation of pirates from several worlds. Some are disciplined and highly rational , other are chaotic and simply endowed with a destructive lust. Behind the scenes they deal with various people from the EA , the centauri , the narn and the Drazi . When a smuggler learns of a major centauri operation against a narn civilian target he has to decide whether to make profit helping the centauri or to save the lives of thousands of innocent narn civilians. But when he decides to protect the innocent he is hunted down by the centauri , and even by his former comrades. The only solution seems to be to escape to neutral space or. ... to reach Babylon 5.

Those campaign ideas sound good. Epic and intimate at the same time, especially the raider one.

About the Teep campaign: I think someone'll have to paint the ships black and put that Omega symbol on it and it might be too much work unless someone really wants to do it

How come no one has suggested a Ranger campaign? Doesn't necessarily have to involve the whitestar. Circumstances could force a small group of Rangers to be discrete and use EA or even Raider ships.

A few more ideas:

- A campaign based on a light recon squad during the Minbari War that's gradually forced from recon to all out war. Plenty of dramatic potential as well as bravado.

- The Teep Underground Railway: Doc Franklin transfers his control of the railway to his contact on Mars. You play as a runaway Teep with marginal flight skills "volunteered" to escort the last transport to a small colony on the edge of EA space.

Let's not forget that sometimes 1 or 2 missions can be as full of potential as an entire campaign:

- You're a freelance pilot running escort duty to pay the bills, a merc, when the shadows decide to attack and throw down with you. A series of 3-4 missions will have you defending from swarms and finally trying to counterattack futily to buy time.
