I've started messing around with FRED2 last night...
As i have never had any experiance with mission design or FRED, i'm not holding my breath. That said, i'm working on a campaign it's time line is right AFTER the Earth-Minbari war. I have a rough idea of what's going to happen, but i'm missing some details:

1) Can someone give me the specs for the Midwinter Hyperion Class?
most importent is weapon mounts, speed and manuvarability are
probably hard coded anyway (right?)

2) Does anyone remember the name of the Minbari Sharlin that refused
to surender at the battle of the line and disappered after it?
(don't know if i'll use it, but i might)

3) Any chance of getting a raided mother ship?

Thanks.

1) Midwinter will be in the next release (Release 2). Its virtually the same ship except with beam cannons on the two side turrets and some minor stat enhancements. Stats are defined in the ships.tbl and weapons.tbl

2) Trigati.

3) Release 2.

One more question...What are the turret numbers? If i wanted to outfit the Hyperion with the narn laser (As Lady Rose did on the Janus) ?

Also, what did become of the Sharlin? I recall hearing about it in one of the episodes.

Click on the model in FRED2 and press K to cycle through turrets and subobjects.

When the Trigati came to attack B5, Sherdian figured out that they were trying to provoke a war. There were a number of clues...particuarly in the way they acted, but mostly in the way that that undetectable Minbari fighters were all of the sudden detectable.

The Trigati fighters did not open fire because they were waiting for the Humans to do it. When they didn't, they just circled back to their vessel.

Sheridan sent a message into hyperspace, knowing that another Sharlin had been sent to find the Trigati. The second Sharlin arrived, sliced the engine off the Trigati and the Trigati crew self destructed their ship.

Remember to check out FRED2 tutorial, which is included with FRED2. And of course Lady Rose's tutorial too, I heard it is pretty good after all.

Mr.Fury dont you have any faith on me(just joke)?
He has it already...

Flounder last second note:
If your using Narn beams(made by Pera) or Sharlin heavy beams. You must place them in turret01 or it dosnt work rest of turrets are rotating once... I'm not sure what happens when you use anti-fighter beams. Or did you make your own?

I havn't tried putting beams on the Hyperion yet. I've nearly completed the first mission, it just needs some tweaking and goal setting, better briefing and debrief. Other then that the mission is done. I have no idea if it's balanced realy, since i allways play on the easiest level (the wuss i am). When it's a bit more polished i'll be ready to e-mail it.

Hi

Due to personal reasons i wont be doing anything with it for the next week or so. But i'll be sure to send you a copy.

Just a note, i couldn't get the hyperion to use a beam weapon from turret01 at all, narn laser or minbari fusion.

Starkiller is correct; 6 and 7 are the side turrets that you'd see a Midwinter fire with. However, I don't think they're "fixed" turrets so to speak. While you can't see them move around, they can fire in any direction whereas the main gun seems to have a very limited arc.
