Narn vs Shadows - Narn/Centauri War

[EDFDarkAngel1]

I was watching Season 2 and I saw 4 (5?) G'Quans go to town on a few Shadow ships, well, try to. From the weapons they were firing, they appear to be the Ancient Shadows.

First off: can a Shadow disrupting a jump point really frag a ship in the game?

Secondly: we see the combined energy mine salvo hurt a few Shadows, then their beam weapons snap off a branch of a ship. After all was said and done, the Shadows seem to attach to a drifting ship of theirs, and take off.

I know it's possible for 4 G'Quans to gang up on and kill a Shadow ship.. but while maneuvering and splitting their fire? It seems to me that JMS considered G'Quans alot stronger than the game rules allow.

um, we have just had a whole thread about how strong the G'Quan is, this subject is almost a big red button saying "do not press" and everyone going ooohhhh and trying to press it ;-)

Firstly, yes a Shadows jump point disrupter can easly frag a ship. Rules are in the fleet book.

Second, 7 G'Quans got totally ganked by 4 Shadow Ships for no losses (only one damaged)... why does that mean a G'Quan is hard?

 

[Triggy]

They had enough firepower to severely injure (but not quite kill) a single Shadow vessel. For 7 Battle PL choices vs 4 Armageddon PL choices this feels about right

Of course they didn't deploy their fighters or close to secondary gun range...

but it was most impressiv how the shadows cut this narns in half... :twisted:
the G´quan is an strong ship...but not against those ancient ships.
the lasers of the g´quan are capable of pinning and destroying an shadow ship, i believe but they must hit...against an agile shadow ship. really difficult. they had fired all E-mines from all G´quans. not only two like in the episode.
