are the shadows a Broken fleet or are they just really really really hard to play. from what i have read in the forums and all it seems the are broken and really hard to play almost to the point to not play. What makes them so hard to play and what makes them so good are they the type of fleet you expect to lose with more than win or what. Are they just good at specific game types. it seems to me the volrons are a little better and seem to not be so broken. but maybe im just the new guy whos not understanding what im reading. I was thinking of doing shadows but now im leaning more towards Volrons or minbari.

Shadows are not broken. The problem with them is that people think of them as ludicrously tough, theyre not, if you wade into enemy fire you are going to lose. Period, if you know how to use them well and take advantage of their speed and maneuvering ability to avoid enemy fire, or hit them and then break off to regenerate, they can be very VERY nasty (also worth noting, taking shadow ships at the moment is just stupid generally, your far better off with hunters (though I use the shadow ship models for these anyway as I HATE the hunter miniature)
but Hunters are being removed from the shadows fleet list and moved to another fleet. so hunters will no longer be a choice for the shadows. It seems you must be a shodow player what tactics do you use against enemys like the ISA. Me and this other guy are the only ones getting in to B5 here in okinawa hes doing ISA. and I am waiting for the stuff to get here. but I do not want to play with the hunters sence there not going to be a choice any more for them. so do you do a lot of hit and runs with them.
In version 2, there will be a "young shadow ship" that will take the place of the Hunter. It will probably be fairly similar in stats as the current Hunter.
Against ISA: if he has White Stars, your scouts will slaughter him. If he has a White Star Carrier, run away. An even fight between Shadows and ISA is pretty rare.

The new EA Black Ops/Psi-Corps fleet.

will there be many ships for the pci corps? or will there be some new ones that were kept quiet?

Worth noting that it is a combined Earthforce Black-Ops/Psi-Corps fleet, not just Psi-Corps, so the shadow tech based stuff won't actually be Psi-Corps ships.
Psi-Cops will I imagine get Black Omega starfuries and the mothership that appeared in the series, plus I would think some others as well...

As far as I know the Shadow hunter and the Nemesis Destroyer are both going over the the psi corp list along with some new stuff like motherships and black omega furies.
That and theyll have access to some other standard EA stuff too. Sounds quite cool actually.
Remember:
The corps is mother, the corps is father!

There´s a Psi-Corps "Deathwaggon" mentioned in the scripts of the unfilmed Crusade episodes, as well as a hybrid Starfury with Shadowtech (Shadowfury?). While the former might be the mothership, I´d love to see the fighters.
