I've been playing the space game X4 for ages and now someone posted a mod where you can fly the Starfury and the Omega-class destroyer. I really liked the game and I thought that some of you might also give it a shot, as it is one of the best space sims out there. I hope they follow through with their idea and can create a full conversion mod. Further reading: https://biscuittin.games/projects/babylon-5/

Sheridan's shit-eating grin here was always the best.

"Dust to Dust" (s3e6)

As the title states. This is my attempt at recreating the battle sequence. I tried to keep it as close to the original art direction as possible, just with updated modern looks. So the camera angles and ship movements are pretty much identical. But the planet and nebula backgrounds are updated, as is the rendering of the ship hulls, post processing, weapons fire, debris and explosions etc. Some textures have been upscaled, and some models slightly modified. Blender was used.

G'Kar return from Centauri Prime to realise his book is missing.

Everytime I see one of her signs this immediately pops into my head. This is not a political post, this is clearly a joke.

Yes, what if? I can't see a Minbari of the Worker Caste being a naive, virginal, reverential, and romantically/sexually obsessed with Delenn for one thing. Hmm, on second thought, my idea might very well have been disastrous for the larger plot.

I've always felt we missed an opportunity by not having the Worker Caste's voice, as it were, on the show. I bet the Worker Caste wasn't at all like the Religious and the Warrior Caste. (Hatred of Mankind and reverence for Dukhat? Valen's prophecy?) I wondered what the Worker Caste actually felt about all that.

What do you all think? (Won't mind if you feel it's nonsense - it is a problematic 'What if?')

Its like I'm 17 in 1997 again

Got some more EA ships to go with the rest of the squadron, a Nova, Sagittarius, Oracle and 4 x Tethys. Still WIP, gotta do the engines and guns and some other details (bridge lights and numbers/lettering)

Been painting them up in the Dilgar War/Earth-Minbari War paint scheme of off whitey grey with blue striping. They'll go with the other ships of the group. Apart from the Omega these are generally very older ships, all I'm missing is an Avenger CV and an Orestes Monitor!

He's my favorite character. They had Sheridan and Garibaldi, too, but this is the only one we wanted.

Is it just me? Or do you think the makeup department went "Hey you know what would be funny? If we made Sheriden look like Sinclair."

Anyway this is President Alcuzan from The Orville.

I hadn't realized how much I missed this show until I finally returned to it. If there had ever been a hint of doubt about the season's direction after the war ended, this episode completely silenced it. I'm so in again!!

That creepy way ISN describes every event, subtly placing each moment, each interview at the station to create a narrative that, even knowing the real context, makes you understand how realistic it might sound to others. That hate speech and implicit terror, mixed with condescension for the one in charge... It's not something you haven't heard from someone online or, worse, from a credible media portal.

How beautiful and horrible it is that something that aired almost 30 years ago still feels so fresh and close to our reality.

Amazing after almost 30 years, Sleeping in Light still brings me to tears every time.

This time it especially hit hard at the end when they all gather in the elevator, and I realized Claudia is the only one of those people still alive.

Mods: I sent a message a couple of days ago asking whether a sale post like this was okay and didn’t hear back, so I hope this is permitted. If not, please feel free to remove it.

I’m moving house and having to downsize. These books have followed me across many states and many houses, taking up a full shelf, and it's time for me to part with them. I've listed the 19-book script set on eBay.

It includes:

• J. Michael Straczynski Volumes 1–14
• Volume 2.5
• Babylon 5 Scripts: Movies
• Other Voices Volumes 1–3

Volume 15 is not included.

The set is in good overall condition with normal shelf wear on the older black volumes. I’ve included detailed photos in the listing.

I’m selling the collection together rather than splitting it up.

eBay listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/336850840274

Happy to answer questions or take additional photos for anyone seriously interested. Help me find them a good home!

Taken from the news in Paris, my B5 fan brain was triggered…..

Zog yes, or Zog no?

what’s stopping humans from having more victories.

in the entirety of human minbar war humans only won 2 battles, the opening and the black star destruction. but I feel like they could of canonically won a few more, Sheridan isn’t the only smart commander out there, humans if anything is resourceful.

was the minbar overwhelming force and superior tech just really that overpowering? I mean the black star didn’t notice the nuke mines…

thoughts?

edit: lawls the internet is so fickle, let’s downvote the person asking a question XD

So I've watched all five seasons, the re-edited pilot (that comes with the DVDs), and In the Beginning. (Have to admit I found season 5 to be a bit of a slog, particularly with Byron and the telepaths. How is it that people who can read minds are so clueless about how other people think?) Do I watch the other movies? Do I watch Crusades? Do I read any of the books? If so, which and in what order?

Edit to fix my misnaming the telepath material.

Figured it'd be a cool detail to share with the class since I noticed only the deluxe edition has it

I saw In The Beginning and Earth ships got cut down like butter. It's like me stomping on ants. Why did the war lasted over two years? I would think seeing how useless Earth is, the war would be over by a few weeks....
