A new use for a Bin'Tak?

[H]

have you ever heard of progress? This is the ISA era boy! plus it is unique only, a good campaign GM if he allowed it, would not allow another once dead

and ubership? I think you need to asses the ISA Cheeseness that you yourself use ;-)

nah, it's a fair point to try and raise , but this ship is less effective than a Poseidon, about on a par with a Cidikar, less effective than 2 morshins, less effective than a WS Carrier. and we already know it's not as good as a G'Vrahn!

Help me fix my fireraptor for the 'new era' and I'll support ya... until then damn your G'Vrahn and its new fangled heresies... get back to the scripture, back to the Bin'Tak!

Sorry, watching a TV preacher... catchy stuff, if not quite my thing... but one should know the enemy...

Naaah. Any unique ship must be accompanied by fluff sufficient to justify it

The stats look OK but as a Narn player, I don't think the Narn should have a super-carrier (at least, not one that works properly) for fluff reasons.

 

[EDFDarkAngel1]

I personally would drop the Carrier score by 2. More balanced that way.

As far as fluff, I will answer that with three words: White Star Carrier.

Sorry, fluff is not the right word. I meant the feel/spirit of the fleet.

They definitely shouldn't get a 'supercarrier' before they get a carrier.

 

[EDFDarkAngel1]

They do, it's the T'Loth variant, the T'Rann.

That's fluff?

 

[EDFDarkAngel1]

If the White Star Carrier fluff is fluff, then it might as well be.

ISA operations seem to have usually included large numbers of fighters so a carrier is not unexpected. The Narn, not so much... I'm not opposed to the ship be a one off... it's just non Narnish

 

[H]

could be why it's unique. The Narn are members of the ISA, the ISA use fighters, E-Mines are BAD for ISA joint missions, so to stop the ISA whiging the Narn take an old bintak, fill it chock fill of fighters and get advanced carrier tech from their fellows in the ISA.
Boom, the Narn donation to the ISA joint missions.

The T'Rann is not a carrier. It's a fighter warehouse.

 

[H]

WRONG! it has the carrier 2 trait.

Ok. It is a fighter warehouse with carrier two.....

:: busts out the Uber Wand of Thread Necromancy ::

I decided that, with the upcoming lack of miniatures for Babylon 5, I am going to use the Bin'Tak Super Carrier rule as a house mod and get myself a Bin'Tak.

Does anyone else think this is a good idea?

Naturally I think it's an ace idea, but I am hugely biased
