Dumb question about Shadow Cloud Weapons arcs.....

Sadly, no, as of the final playtest. Reason given was the mini wasn't up to scratch (oh, yeah? So what about the Shadow Cloud mini then?)alien027 said:

Yes. Which means that unlike Clark's secret agencies, who found a derelict shadow vessel and prodded it with a sharp stick for a few months, and then wandered off and built the Shadow Omega, the Minbari actually had a Vorlon on hand to explain how their stuff worked.....and yet seemingly refuse to make use of this knowledge themselves.

Shadow tech has shown itself to have the innate ability to intergrate with other technolgies forms. The EA scientists don't really understand it, they just stuck bits in place and the shadowtech handles the intergration itself.
Vorlon tech seems alot more connected with the Vorlons themselves (connection between the various "Koshes" and their transports). Perhaps you need a Vorlon actually there to successfully intergrate?
Dunno, just trying to make some sense out of the stuff.
(plus I agree with ShadowScout that the Shadow Omega and the Nemesis shouldn't have actual shadow weapons, just enhanced EA stuff).

IIRC they have the E-mine trait and nothing that says they are in any way different to other E-mine trait weapons so yes you can use all the variant E-mine rules.

Since the advanced e-maine launcher is not slow-loading, there is no reason to short charge it.

Also, the Shadows are freely sharing their tech cause they know it will ultimately be used to create wars, insuring that weak races die and that the strong races becme even stronger.
Vorlon tech is deliberate, just like their philosophy. If they flippantly gave up Vorlon tech nothing would be accomplished except more war, which is against Vorlon princibles. That is why I dispise the Earth/Vorlon hybrids because they should not exist.
Also, cap'n smirk, like you said, Shadow tech is more automated, as evidence by the "pilots" that can intergrate with anything they youch. Just look at how they latched onto Earth systems so easily as seen by the time Franklin had one in Med Lab and how Sheridan used them as weapons.
Vorlon tech needs to be shaped and controlled.

It technically wasn't a mistake, you can short charge if you like, would be foolish, but nothing to stop you doing it.

IIRC the variant emines can only be used by a weapon with the name emine, not the trait (so pulsar mines are SOL). Might be an idea to get a quick clarification on whether advanced launchers count or not. Though they probably so.
