    Shadow Raid, Why Bother?

    A Shadow scout variant was seen in Into the Fire; it fires a purple Shadow beam rather than the purple bolts. AoG made this warship into a strike destroyer, which was a variant of their destroyer, which inturn was the hull that the scout was based on….

    Why do Centauri have beams?

    9a. Primus battle lasers "Finally, I would also like to point out that arguing that the weapons on the Primus are not correct is in truth a losing proposition. Sometime ago we created a ship, specifically because of arguments from this newsgroup, to more closely ape the ship as seen...

    BABYLON: THE LOST TALES UPDATE

    Where there's Galen, there's Shadow...stuff. :D

    Is the Shadow Hunter canon?

    Ah...but remember when Max shows Capt. Gideon the footage of the Hunter and a traditional Shadow "spider" together, and the script heavily implies (if it outright doesn't say so) that it's a Shadow vessel that someone has built a copy of. The hull composition means relatively little...the...

    The Lost Tales (new B5 episodes)

    It depends on where you live...$100 AU is the going rate from most entertainment shops ($70 US) within driving distance of me; you can prolly pick them up for half that price via an online merchant (new). But that has its own drawbacks. Season 5 and Crusade are easily worth $100 AU each to me...

    Is the Shadow Hunter canon?

    Actually, it's a Shadow vessel that was built by the Earth Alliance...so it's not really a "hybrid" (like the Omega-E) rather it's a license produced copy. :D Clarke bought the license.... For those who haven't seen Crusade...give it a go, a couple of the episodes are easily the equal of the...

    Painting a Warlock

    Gray, with little haze gray polka dots. Whilst in some shots the destroyers appear black (Foxfire especially), though when they're illuminated they appear to be gray (with the lighter polka dots; which is obviously to do with the armour composition...or some form of emission absorbing...

    Floating an idea: Battle groups

    To say or deny that there aren’t examples of differing fleet compositions within the show is quite ludicrous; for every G’Quan fleet we see, there is also a complete opposite; the Lexington battle group, the Prometheus battle group; Sheridan’s multi-racial forces (Drazi ships running...

    Preview Available

    This is pretty cool...whilst I didn’t know it; I’ve been waiting for a reasonably fast [to play] historical naval war game that I can play with my nephew (he’s a wee one) and his father. Thanks for the preview!

    B5 Wars vs ACTA poll 1

    Though I'm unsure of the validity of the quote…but I always get a chuckle out of what agent1 had as his quote on the official B5Wars forum: “The Whitestar moves at the speed of the plot.” –JMS Ha-ha…if you watch “In the Beginning”, Hyperion cruisers are seen to soak up multiple neutron laser...

    Fires on Ships - Your Opinion Needed!

    It’d be stupid for critical areas (magazines, the reactor room, et cetera) not to be constantly and completely vented of all atmospheres that can fuel fires as a precautionary measure; and during general quarters, every section that needn’t be habitable would definitely be “empty”. Molten metal...

    What to do with the Avioki

    You can draw comparisons from past human conflicts not for the tactical depth and detail, but for the underlying strategic makeup that was brought up in this thread; powers with relatively little industry fielded units that were just as effective (and sometimes more so) than the industrial...

    What to do with the Avioki

    ACtA is a simulator, i.e., an even pointed battle will produce a historically unrealistic engagement (though tactically realistic for what the game system tries to emulate), a historically accurate engagement is better served with a custom designed campaign system (I'm unfamiliar with the one in...

    What to do with the Avioki

    There is nothing wrong with member worlds of TLoNAW having individually powerful vessels...in fact with limited resources, differing ideologies and a host of other alien reasons -- it is more logical for them to have them as them not having them. Whilst the EAS has the dreaded Warlock DD(X)...
