No, all of the Pak'ma'ra ships were of their own design; the Gaim were the race that had the "we don't have any ships of our own design as their gimmick. The Pak'ma'ra schtick was that all of their ships had cargo bays aboard, with the fluff explanation that most of the Pak'ma'ra fleet was used...

Depending on the level and scale of details on the ship, not necessarily. If the ship was modeled to be that size in the CAD program, there can be some detailing that, if simply scaled down, would be too small to form correctly on the final model. That 3mm long detail shrunk down to a little...

Of the missing starbases, I think Babylon 4 and the Centauri Kraken are the only ones that would really interest me. Maybe the Narn Ja'dul Civilian Base, too, but that is borderline. As has been mentioned, bases don't get used much -- and a Narn Ja'stat can be built pretty easily using T'Loth...

I'm not sure what type of maps the linked scenario ("campaign") rules for ACTA use, but if you need help tracking down some maps, I would be more than happy to find them and upload them for download. I know I have the PDF versions of the HRT's AOG B5 maps (enough acronyms for you?) that I could...

Having bought some of them, the Kikoku miniatures are very nice looking. The Battleship is HUGE -- a little larger than a Bin'Tak, but much more "substantial" on the battlefield. It is probably on the order of what Mongoose has planned for its Armaggedon miniatures. I like all of the Kikoku...

Gah! The initial poster had it right. It is "Ti Kar" not "Tikar". The prior precedent in publication, the A to Z Guide to Babylon 5, wrote their name as Ti Kar, and it was only during late AOG period I think that people started running it together as "Tikar" instead. Nitpick, yes, but it is...

The Shadow ships are pretty much derived from the AOG material, where Shadow cruisers came in several different sizes and configurations, with the Patrol Cruiser at the bottom and the Dreadnought at the top (or was the Battlecruiser at the top? I think that was fit underneath the Dreadnought...

It is important to reiterate for those that don't remember/know, too, that the show was cancelled before a single episode ever aired. So it wasn't a case like Firefly where it was just "oops, you're gone now" -- we knew from the first episode that the show was cancelled and that would be the end...

The one set of ships that I would probably buy would be Alacans, though I don't know if they even exist in the ACTA continuity or not. The bonus would be that they could be used for both the Alacans and Abbai both, so you would be hitting two races at the same time -- plus the freighter ship...

Good job, guys! You captured the look of the ACTA supplements pretty well. I have seen at least one design idea in there that is interesting enough to possibly get me to fire up Illustrator and create a B5W inspired version of the ship, and then add it to my VBAM campaign stat list :) -Tyrel

I would say that a decent Babylon 5 Encyclopedia would have to be in the same veign as the Star Trek Encyclopedia, as has been mentioned. This means including important things like sourcing to make it clear where the information is coming from, whether it is from the show, backstage information...
