A lot of people, including myself, are busy with real life (tm) at the moment. Others have gone beyond the rim never to return. In due course we'll find out who's who.

Well, well...

It seems to me that right now this project is having its 1000-year nap to return later at any time to cause terror, flame storms, rumors and server crashes. One day, in silence, something incredible wakes up, stretches its whatever-you-wish-to-call-them, drinks a cup of coffee and slowly, still hidden, crawls out to see if he has any servants left... Or if he has to go on a crusade. Still unseen by Human eyes he crawls slowly back into the minds of those who once were loyal to him, to remind them, to preserve the memory of something great that once was and can still once be... By the hands of those who built his first empire.

If they refuse, there's always more undisturbed, untouched young minds to possess, to fool them to believe in something that exists only as a remote dream of the distant future. That dream is the Thing that kept this forum alive for years, it will not die easily: it will only crawl into the dark abyss that's called Distant Memories.

At a generation's time, it may reduce to an unlit spot of shadow as we take it with us... But the dream still lives on to one day return to trouble the minds of those who have been touched by Straczynski's magnificent dream. It will not die. It will come back again, if not by TBP, by someone/something we don't have the power to foresee.

At least I will come back every now and then to see if there's still life here... It won't be more than once a week, maybe even less since I'm still at the service of my country for another half a year. I hope you guys have the patience to complete this project you've started, it has begun with so many great promises that it would be a great loss to see it stand unfinished at the Halls of Waiting for the good ideas that never got any farther than to a touch with reality.

Well, I've never really felt any kind of need to do so...

I'm considered rather, well, special or even weird by almost anyone I know, but that's nothing to worry about : I'm actually enjoying myself when I manage to totally confuse "ordinary" people by experimenting different ways to say simple things in a very complicated way . I'm really a harmless weirdo, no reason to worry (much, ha ha).

To tell the truth: I was just a little, shall we say, drunk when I wrote the last post . I was kinda pissed because of the pessimistic attitude most people had so I decided to try to provoke them to believe in this project again. It seems that I failed. And very miserably, since the only reply in a weekend's time was the one questioning my mental health . I do have a bad habit of being just a bit unclear at times (at least that's the complaint I hear most of the time), and friday was one of those "times". I was exaggerative, unclear, stubborn, perhaps even slightly poetic, but hey: that's me ! (Read the signature... It's there for a reason, as you now may see.)

Pretty much everyone I know are weirdos more or less. Now that I come to think of it, perhaps it is the finnish nature?

No no...EVERYONE is strange...some people in some countries refuse to admit to this chronic disease of strangeness

Those that admit that they are sane are truly the strange ones.

Have any missions been released that allow you to see shadow ships or B5 itself, and if not why not?

Im worried to see this place so empty, is it more healthy in the internal forum?

Shadow ships or the B5 itself are not finished yet. Thus no missions. Hell, I haven't heard a status update from any modeller or texturer for long time.
Of course there might be some fan made missions based on Buda5 models or something like that, sorry but I don't really follow that front.
Actually internal forum is even quieter these days.

We could throw the Buda5 ships converted by ExOne into the mod where we don't have our own ship. I'll take that idea to the internal forum for everyone to pull apart.

Personally, I have two new ships which I'm going to throw in the patch. They aren't lodded but what with HT&L and most people having uber CPUs, it's no big thing. They are the Vorlon Fighter (which suffers the same issues as the Drakh Fighter unfortunately) and the Valkyrie ground attack gunship. Obviously they're both of limited use but hey! they look pretty!

I don't think Joe public has the Sky Serpent or Skylark either, and those ships are great.

It doesn't matter who's made the ship as long is it's quality work. If quality does not match rest of the ships, I will be against the idea.

I spent about two months perfecting the Babylon 5 model geometry. Once I had finished Tomcat spent another couple of weeks working on it. As it stands now it's an awesome model. [Shame nobody could be arsed to texture it.

Well not really. We're kind of in limbo a bit at the moment waiting for a couple of missions to get fixed.

what about those big renders of B5 (and B4), they were textured, weren't they ?

IP probably meant the stations are partially textured, In the renders you can still see areas left untextured,
