I don't think arguments about silliness have much bearing on whether people want to play crossover battles between different universes (examples already exist including the above mentioned In the Pirkining). Seems an odd argument within sci-fi gaming, if we really cared that much about that...

This problem all stems from AoG who managed to follow the (admittedly probably accidental) system the series created for Earthforce ships but then reverted to using original naval classifications when they started creating new alien ships for the game. The mess was then simple passed onto...

I've always though that at least when it came to to the Earthforce ships there was at least a plausible progression in place (whether by accident or design on the developers parts...). Prior to the Minbari War they seem to rely primarily on a strong force of cruisers supported by a few...

It might be easier to start with the old 2nd Edition B5 rules and incorporating parts of the new rules (depending on how extensively this have changed). Nick

I'll admit that whatever the explanation, I just don't like the Dilgar design (but that's just my personal opinion). On the AoG ships they look aggressive because everything is directed forwards, lots of guns, spikes, everything all pointed straight at you. Probably the same reason why I like...

I have to say I've never really liked that Dilgar design it just doesn't seem aggressive enough for the Dilgar (not to mention being mostly hollow), the fighter is ok but I definitely prefer the AoG Dilgar designs. Sierra seem to have had a thing for insubstantial ships the Dilgar, Abbai and...

So dead tree interior, dead cow exterior... Its carbon neutral!!! :P Nick

I'm not entirely sure what you expect to come of this. As the game is no longer supported the stats aren't going to change, at least not officially. :? If you think that Shadow fighters are too weak then change them to something you think is better, there's even less stopping you from doing...

The Hermes is the Centaur-class Aircraft Carrier on the list since I believe she was the only ship of that type (even though she wasn't actually the same as the rest of the class, she was originally planned as one of them and still based on the same design) still in service in the 1980-1990 time...

I should point out that that ship is actually the Kirishiac Lordship, the Thoughtforce is the giant caltrop. I believe Mongoose mixed the pictures up. I could accept the change over (the races were never identified in the show anyway so its all invented by AoG) if not for the fact that the...

If your interested in the background to the designs, background info and B5Wars SCSs are all still available at Todd's old site. http://ravensbranch.allen.com/galacticaships.html Nick

Funnily enough thats exactly what it was originally designed as... A whiles back Todd produced a whole series of B5Wars designs for the original series of BSG a number of which (Devastator included) have subsequently appeared in the Hydrodyne Aeronautics range. Indeed looking at it most of the...

Interestingly in both case he was also rescued from death by a godlike ancient being... Nick

The "triangle thing" is called a triluminary, the Minbari had three of them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triluminary Although thinking about it as one of them is presumably the one Sinclair takes back with him, there are only actually two and two of them are in fact the same one... :shock...

Its an N!!! Its an N!!! :lol: I'll get my coat... Nick
