New to babylon 5 - was thinking of getting shadows

[operative 6678]

the hunter model as the coat-rack-o-doom looks....well.....a bit poo

Unfortunatly thats how it looked in the TV show so mongoose cannot change it really. However as I understand from talk on this forum its being moved to a new psi cops/EA black ops fleet where it belongs.

Theyre staying super manueverable in 2nd ed as far I know, what is changing though I've heard is they will take damage more like other ships and suffer crits etc.

Ok I've heard about there supoer manouvrability but someone said that might change in 2ed.

The rules for supermanouvrability might change. As might any specific element of the rules (beam weapons are also changing, for example).

But regardless of precisely how the Shadows achieve their manouvrability, I don't think you need to worry that they will. In second edition, or some putative revised second edition, or anything yet to come beyond that, Shadow ships will remain the manouvrable scary death spiders with the slicer beams of extreme ship slaughterage.

The detail of rules may change, but the way the fleet works will not.

Yes I think it was said that they will act as the Ancients - suffering crits but they automatcially repairing them. Have not heard anything about SM changing - they are still into that sort of thing...........
