Vorlons aren't psychics?

[SylvrDragon]

As I recall the Vorlons were supposed to be some of the most powerful psychics in existence, yet they possess no psychic crews?

 

[Ripple]

the trait was added as a psi corp only thing, and the other notably telepathic races did not get it retcon'd in. Vree should have some, and certainly the vorlons.

[SylvrDragon]

Agreed.

 

[Shadow Queen]

Vorlon ships are not crewed as the ships are living

 

[Da Boss]

Well they don't jam the Shadow ships in their encounters in the show - so either the Shadows are immune to their Ancient enemies, the Vorlons don't consider that they need to do it, their telepathy is used to control the ships.................or some other reason?

 

[Ripple]

We don't see them do it true, but we only see two encounters. That could just have easily been failed attempts.

They only fight the ambush and Coriana 6 against each other. The ambush they may just not have needed to, and Coriana we just may not have have seen it as we hardly see the whole fight. I hate going with the lack of evidence is not evidence of a lack argument, but it is true to a degree.

Anyway, would be nice to see the Vorlons get them at least as an other duties type thing for campaigns.

Other duties seems possible in game terms but feels a bit strange - depends if the Vorlons are on baord or not - Derina - is that Darkness and Light syaing they are uncrewed or elsewhere? Only ask because other things are ignored from Darkness and Light.............


if they ar not on baord - it would make a good other duites -

Vorlon Presence - the ship is graced with the presence of one their Masters who commands the ships instant obediance and is able to disrupt the minds of both theyounger araces and the ancient enemies ships. The Ship gains Psychic Crew 5+ (?),

i do find it amusing that the psi-corps can out teep anyone with that special rule, including all teep races and powerful ancients like the vorlons that created the teep gene.
this is especially amusing when you consider that the corp ships wont be crewed fully by teeps but only have a few on board controlling a probably mind controlled crew.
also amusing is the fact that bester, one of the most powerful teeps cant even effect people without line of sight and certainly not upto space type distances and definately not through warship hull, which if you remember byron also a powerful teep had to have his hand against a bulkhead along with bester having contact on the other side just to communicate not even effect each other.

Deoes anyone but tyhe Minbari and Lyta disrupt the Shadows on screen?

 

[Shadow Queen]

technicly it was the Mindriders who taught the Vorlons, who then tampered with the genetic code of the other races

Bester: in ship of tears

 

[M1ndr1d3rs]

Well, it wasn't clear wether Bester intentionally disrupted the shadow vessel while playing dumb or the Shadow vessel sensed him and thought: "Telepath..P12.. uh-oh, not good..."

Did the Mindriders also taught the Vorlons how to "hitchhike"? Like the good Kosh riding on Sheridan?

they did try to steal a time ship from the Travillers of Sigma 957

 

[M1ndr1d3rs]

Who did?

Is that from War of the Ancients?

 

[Shadow Queen]

read thirdspace.

 

[M1ndr1d3rs]

I drool even more now...

Telepaths were assigned to a lot of ships, but I don't think we see any of them actually disrupting the Shadows.

Sheriden (IIRC): "Where are you assigned? Pak'ma'ra? Sorry...try not to drink the water"

 

[Greg Smith]

We do see shots of Minbari telepaths, lying on the sloped Minbari beds, apparently disrupting Shadows, without windows.
