Well, as an avid Minbari player I'd have to say its nice to get some more damage and crew but definatly no more and I was only expecting alittle more NL for the sharlin, the 2 it had was kinda weak... Secondly, when doing the fighter lowering stealth thing, all you gotto do is sacrifice 1 flight ok, so it's a flight a turn but its still worth it. What really gets me is that people are so afraid of the minbari stealth its a bit unreasonable. At least you have a chance to get it down. Lets talk about the White Stars... They will always (statistically) shrug off 2/3 of the fire coming there direction and after that they half the damage taken. And that Rangers are the best so they all get an extre point of Crewquality? Yet NOBODY is complaining about this. That to me is a bit strange but what do I know? I'm just a powergaming Minbari, right?
Its just a game, thats the thing, and yes, the minbari is hard to beat, but far, very far from impossible. I have some serious fears in the coming tournament because I know exactly what will beat me (No, wont say until its done and over) and if just one person goes fairly close to that I'm done, thats game lost for me.
As for why I dont fear vorlons... Well, if they had weapons in all arcs then yes, I'd have serious problems and fear to come with that, but as it is, all you gotto do is go to any arc besides the front which is REALLY easy with fighters or Raid level minbari ships. "But Vorlon fighters have antifighter trait!" yeah yeah, but against the nial or fury or sentri or... Pretty much any fighter besides shadows and frazi its easy to beat in a dogfight. Shadows I fear alot more then vorlons, but thats because of the turreted weapon(s). I do believe they should have at least +2 to beat stealth, then they'd definatly be horrible against Minbari, but one also have to remember that goes against others scouts as well.
And the people saying scouts are too expensive to get. Whatever, the Centauri Covran is a Patrol level ship along with Abbai Shyarie and the Narn Sho'Kar is a skirmish Level Ship. So if you want cheap scouts change race. I suppose I could make a comment about why people dont want to give up the really hardcore EA but I wont since I already jumped on the ISA people... If one race doesnt do it for you when fighting minbari, change race. Or dont play against the Minbari when you have a choice.
I have a feeling that the Minbari will be the one race people will always be upset with and never enough balance etc. I'm glad to be upgunned thats for sure. I'm also glad to get more crew and damage but I dont think it was as necessary as the weapons. I can forgive low crew and damage as long as I got guns, or vice verse. Enough of my ranting though, just accept it for what it is and dont forget... It's just a game.
