does anyone else's back of case for that DVD inaccurately call that episode "Sabre Rattling"?

No, cause I don't remember the title... :wink:

That just shows lack of dedication and deductive reasoning on your part then, I mean there's only so many episodes of B5 that feature Frazis :lol:

Ahh, yes. I sometimes forget I encounter lesser mortals on these forums 8)
Such excuses would not wash amongst my geekier friends

Actually, the EA ships had a variety of engine exhaust colors, both fighter and capitals. Going by the show, what I can remember at any rate

Hyperions and Tunderbolts and Explorers: Orange/red white
Novas and Omegas : Pure white in some episodes, Bluish white in other
Starfuries : Blueish White

Sentries : Bluewhite/ Yellowwhite
Vorchans :Yellowwhite
Primus : Bluewhite
Gquans : Pure white
Frazis : Red white

As for league, Drazi's dont have nozzles that I remember, Aviokis were blue white

Well near as I can make out, Omegas engines are blue/white on the show but they seem whiter to pure white when fully thrusting.

Personally I do pretty much the same as I do with all my engines: Paint them ice blue then before the paint is fully dry, paint them white (it mostly overpaints but you get a slight blueish tinge. It doesnt really lose any colour on the ship as I do my engines pods the standard ea blue with the red stripe so the white actualy stands out nicely (I also paint my EA a very dark colour scheme so it the engines end up looking very bright

To paraphrase Yods:

"Watching DVDS does not make one a geek"

There's a lot more to it than that, in fact I very recently wrote an article for my old uni SF club magazine that put that very point across :lol:
