Designing ships for B5 using Imperial Supply rules

[Allensh]

I would like to create some new ships for my Babylon 5 campaign. I purchased the Dragonstar Imperial Supply book and would like to know what tweaks may have been made to that system to produce the ships for B5. One thing I have noticed is that B5 ships seem to have higher defence values, since they don't seem to take the automatic -5 Dex adjustment (and they usually have Agility scores). Also, DR seems to be about double of hardness. Any advice on this would be helpful Thanks.

Isn't Dragonstar a different game made by a different company?

Yes it is.

And your point would be...?

From what I understand the ship system in B5 is directly based on that of Dragonstar.

It is, but Bruce is on record in these forums as saying that the ship designs are generaly done on a "that-sounds-good" basis.

A few key ships were evidently carefully converted from other sources (probably Babylon 5 Wars) and the others compared to it until the "that-sounds-good" point was found.
