As a Mini-beam is just a beam weapon that doesn't rake across the target doing just a point impact (the same as most other "pulse" or similar weapons), see no reason that they should not be able to have those traits... *Edit - In fact you might expect precise to fit with the operation of a mini-beam...

Whilst I can't recall any evidence to suggest that it wouldn't be entirely surprising. I was only using it as an example of why the Vorlons might also be able to ignore some of the effects of fighting in Hyperspace, the Shadows already appear to have enough evidence to support that anyway... Nick *E...

Would also make no dice roll for other ancients (including vorlon) as they've got centuries of use of hyperspace travel. Indeed the Vorlons were apparently capable of manipulating hyperspace to create a "pocket" large enough to hide their fleet in. That would suggest a much greater understanding th...

As the beacons are mounted on jump gates which the Shadows don't use (and are in fact a product of Vorlon technology) it seems unlikely that the Shadows would rely on them (although they could of course have their own system of beacons that only they can detect...)

Just seems strange that if they were at a later stage of development than the humans that after nearly a thousand they wouldn't have been capable of space flight by the time of the Centauri invasion (humanity was a sub-stellar space power by the same time)... I mentioned the Ragesh 3 thing above as ...

They understood the concept of beings from another world, and indeed the existence of other worlds, and did not need to ascribe them to any kind of divine or demonic source. That would put them several hundred years further ahead than recorded human wisdom on the same topic. Regards, Dave I don't r...

They knew about it because the Shadows came from space... Doesn't mean they in any way fully understood the concept in any fashion more than the humans believing that the Vorlons were angels come from heaven. And ok the book might have always been hand written but they would surely have had more kno...

Although Ragesh 3 is described as being a former Narn colony which the Centauri took when the Narn try to take it back. This was however in the very first episode (after the pilot anyway) and thus is superseded by later evidence (presumably because the background hadn't yet been fully fleshed out by...

Not certain that is true. From what we know of the Book of G'Quan, the Narn were sufficient well advanced during the time of the 1st Shadow War (circa 1250 AD Earth time) to know about space flight and telepaths, which would make them way more advanced than Humans at that time. We know little else ...

Of course you could just explain the boresight as being two sets of weapons that due to the limits of their mountings can only both fire on the same target when it is directly ahead (the Omega's forward lasers match this quite well), thus getting half AD within forward arc because only half the guns...

I think everyone knows that by now. They just dont like to change. And I think they would get ticked off making Omegas fwd arc where narn, an older race , would still be boresighted. Not that this effects the argument since most of the Narn's technology derives from Centauri stuff anyway... But the...

2. Earth Nukes are a little over the top, SAP, TD. If Sagitarius can use these things, the galaxy is doomed. We all felt that having Nukes at AP, TD and limiting them to big ships only (Apollo, Marathon, Warlock), would be a little better. Well, I'd also like the Hyperion to have access to it as we...

Gaim - the diplomat is reluctant, do we have evidence they actually supplied ships? Well on this one the Gaim's reluctance was based on the fact that they couldn't see any possible chance of winning. They asked Sheridan to prove that he had equal power to the Shadows, so he brought in the Vorlon's....

Does anyone have the B5W cost of the Sharlin and the Warlock? Sharlin = 1825 Warlock = 1800 Plus your omitting a rather major difference between a ship in a space battle targeting another ship visually and the Hubble targeting a galaxy. A galaxy doesn't move (at least not at any appreciable speed),...

Ever heard of a little gun called the MP38 or the MP40? The Germans had quite a few of those... As for why the Russians had lots of submachine guns compared to rifles is similar to why they have the Kalashnikov today, a cheap simple weapon that a soldier with little or no training can just spray bul...

Indeed, and I admit that it seems unlikely that all the involved League races would be unable to realise that but apparently that's what the Dilgar had come to expect... Admittedly the only League race that had really been involved in offensive action on a strategic scale up to that point (the Dilga...

The fact that the Dilgar have war level ships but the early EA don't doesn't really reflect any massive technological advantage those ships are simple bigger and more heavily armed than any ones the EA builds but are no better protected technologically (worse in fact due to the lack of interceptors....

Whilst the site is for USMC veterans the actually post doesn't mention the marine corps once and only talks about the army...


Nick

Indeed that one does show five... I was working off not the model but the 3d drawing they had in their "Atlas of Earth Alliance Wars" supplement, which admittedly doesn't show the bottom of the ship where the extra turrets are. Well LBH will now know where to put them and he can decide on whether he...

Well according to the old AoG 3d model it should have three. One on either side of the front section and one on the top just in front of the spine/radome/bridge/whatever.
