Great game. How about Star Wars next ?

[Daddy Kon]

And after that, Star trek.

Thank you.

LOL

I know it's unlikely, but a Star Wars version, taking place in the clone war could be really cool

Electronic Arts owns the rights to make all Star Wars related video games.

God alone knows who holds the rights to the Star Trek series as since Paramount split from CBS each holds rights to different Trek Properties in an arrangement that would confuse, and impress, a Ferrengi.

Now Babylon 5 and/or Star Gate might be an interesting notion....

[Dread Pirate]

Star Wars — no thanks.
Star Trek — unlikely for reasons given above.
B5 would be cool.
Stargate would be awesome — as an XCOM game.
What about Space Above and Beyond?

Babylon 5 love to see the Omega class ships ST and SW the royalities would be too much,besides there both an overused franchise

[Tashrinbackup]

I think a B5 would work best with this kind of game if they want to keep as much weight on armor and such.

[Igorok]

It would be possible if they enable workshop support. Other games such as Homeworld and Nexus have their own Star Wars Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Stargate ect. mods.

Everyone keeps mentionong B5. I picked Star Wars because there are tones of ships in it. There aren't enough to make a game out of B5.

as i mentioned somewhere else: they should join forces with Harebrained and make an "Orion" style game in the Battletech universe with tactical space (BattleSpace) and ground (BattleTech) combat, combined with 4x style economy- and politics gameplay (MechWars) ... that´d be freaking awesome :)

That universe gives more than enough background and perfectly fits such a game... shame that it has never been done...

rough design idea:

you have your houses/ factions (those who know the BTU know what i mean) ... your usual diplomacy, espionage, research etc... your usual building colonies/ planets up, producing armies...

when it comes to war or conquering planets. you first have to get your fleets and transports there, have to engage in space battle to make the way free for landing ships... then ground combat with ´Mechs, Infrantry and so on follows... yea, you get the idea :)

Babylon 5 has plenty of ships to choose from even before you start looking at the RPG system they created for the show, which included further information about the races including creating a massive number of ships as it included rules for ship to ship battles.

The Earth Alliance, for example, has Hyperion Cruisers, Nova Dreadnoughts, Cotton Tenders, Omega Destroyers, Warlock Destroyers, Three types of StarFury fighters, two shuttle types and breaching pods all of which appear in the series or TV films directly connected to the series. (Meaning not spin offs such as Crusade and Legend of the Rangers)
When you add in ships created for the RPG system you end up with about 6 Star Fury types, depending on date, and more capital ships for all the other races.

You also have multiple time settings, Dilgar war, Minbari War, Pre-Babylon 5 period, series period, Interstellar Alliance era. The Dilgar War and post Minbari/pre-B5 period would make for good settings. (The Minbari war would not make for a good setting since their ships are simply too powerful)

Star Trek I dont see it happening - as I recall the Star Trek navies don't use starfighters like vipers or x-wings.

Fighters are used in DS9, and mentioned and seen in several of the bigger battles during the Dominion war. These are, however, not single seat fighters like the Viper but much larger craft more akin to armed shuttles.

I believe Cryptic/PWE Owns at least part of the Star Trek License at the moment

[meanredraptor]

Babylon 5 would be a really cool option. Don't think there has ever been a competed B5 game.

Would be cool to see so many ships to choose from.

[Benzin]

They would probably have to pay Disney 15 trucks filled with money just to be able to use the "Star Wars" name in the game.

Remember disney is now in charge of destroying *cough* i mean "continuing" the Star Wars cashgrab *cough cough* damit! sorry, i mean franchise.
