P.S. Two of the ships have been seen on screen.

Must admit was expecting a couple of ships beginning and ending with Valen. (especially since I remember a stated impending launch, just before a significant point in CTA history).

So presume the ships seen on screen were civilians, or did I miss the Omnicron & its variant somewhere.

[See us CTA guys (& gals) never bloody happy]
 
You can see a mix of Omicron light cruisers and Chronos frigates along side B5 during the first half of the lost tales. The boxy ones are obviously the Chronos frigates and the longer ones are the Omicrons.

In the battle scene, the ship that killed off that vorchan is a Marathon (the white Nuetron cannon beams are a dead give away).

Ah I see, thought I might have missed it but was thinking maybe Crusade. Don't watch first half of lost tales very often, need to have a closer look now.

Thanks for sorting it out.

Remember the Marathon, 2nd half of LT I have watched a fair bit, particularly looking at the Valen II? and the Vorchans.

I think you are mistaken. The EA ship in the battle sequence is a Warlock. There are no Chronos and Omicron. We so however see a Tashkat close to the station.
 
Well, I still have three more ships on my P&P list (I forgot the Darkstar completely as it was binned so early and missed the Gaim fighters because they were fighters!)

I'm contacting Matt about whether he wants to post them or whether I'll put them up :)
 
Just outta curiosity why was the Dark Star dropped so readily? It is better than the current Whitestar, but that could be fixed readily by dropping its range to the standard 10" and either dropping its secondary guns to regular AP or dropping a die off of them.

It lacks its ISA counterparts Scout and Adaptive armor, along with 2 few dmg points and 4 fewer crew making it even more vulnerable to one solid shot. The shields do make it more resilient against being plinked to death.

Self repairing just always seemed irrelevant to me on the non-ancients ships. If your crew and damage are roughly the same, other than giving your opponent free salvage for de-crewing you whats the point of self repair?

Edit: And it would be damn nice having more than one choice at at least the one PL for Psi-Corp.
 
Yeah, the darkstar has the damage and crew of a patrol level ship. Yeah it has shields, but at 2/2 they are only good for one shot, 2 if its just a single damage weapon. The only thing gonna keep it alive is the hull 6 and dodge..and I suck at making dodge rolls, and the hull 6 wont do much against beams. I would have just copied the whitestar, minus the AA and add shields. The weapons look good though. 2 die on a beam can be iffy but it has the same range as the one on the Hunter.
