This is mostly my position - I'd rather see "accurate" supplements giving fleet lists for the various periods in B5 history than the inaccurate and silly ISDs we have in the fleet book, but I also understand not everyone wants to use them. I don't mind seeing the Dilgar take on Crusade EA, but I do mind seeing Saggis backing Warlocks and Appollos.

I guess I'm just being preemptive here... it was talked about that G'Vrahn should be better than a Bin'tak because it's later even though they are the same pl... that Dilgar ships should all be worse than their counterparts in later fleets etc.

How about, each player must select an ISD and form their own fleet according to that date. That would stop that kind of silly combo, yet still allow Dilgar to fight Drakh in tournaments etc.Lord David the Denied said:My point about ISDs was stopping ships that never existed together fighting together, such as Saggitarius cruisers and Warlock destroyers. It's only really a large issue for the EA, who retire most of their older ships. Every other race is seen in "modern" form only.
