Depending on how Legend of the Rangers looks, I'm thinking of maybe doing up a small (14 mission) campaign set in the B5 universe about the time of the end of season 5.

Pretty much dealing with the ISA battling a group of tech runners in backwater League systems. (of course they're playing with some of the big toys)

Kind of a big part of it would be emphasizing how everything is in the Third Age and how the decisions on handling power are in their hands, heck maybe that's a good subtitle:

The Babylon Project- Third Age

Anyhow, I'm wondering if it's a good idea or not, and I'll be delving a bit into the various B5 plot sources when I do get arround to this idea.

Yeah I know I was thinking earlier about maybe doing a telepath campaign would be fun, but I think that this idea I'm starting to get could be much more fun

Hmmmm.... Interesting concept. I'd say you could probably do that regardless of how Legend of the Rangers comes out. After all the problem of leftover Shadow tech was mentioned in season 5.

I think it should probably consist more of police style actions rather than outright battles, so some form of disabling weapon would be needed. It would also be cool to do something involving the application of terror.
Something along the lines of, your ship (being alone) telling the enemy to surrender, they laugh at you- you call in Beta,Delta, Gamma, and Epsilon wing-each consisting of the max number of whitestars. They enemy surrenders, after first changing their underwear.

Well if LotR is mainly on remains of Shadow Tech, I'd rather not do a campaign covering the same thing.

If it's mainly about this "The Hand" I keep on hearing about, then I'll definately do this.

I'm wondering though if there would be elements of the Psi-Core in the timeperiod that would be supporting lucritive tech running to get funding and supplies for what would later become the telepath war.

What about doing one set in the Crusade period? You play as a Thunderbolt pilot stationed onboard the Excalibur.

If you have the idea then why not make an experimental mission or two for whatever it is, once the relavent ships ar released.
