That's why I suggested the Heca, it may be ugly but it looks like a real B5 ship. It's extremely powerful without being exaggerated overkill and at least is not a ripoff of a previously made canon ship. I really hate those steroid infected Omegas and 70 variations of the Warlock that have been made.

Like you said KillMeKnow, the Heca is ugly (though I admit I like the design of the ship) but at least it's an original design. Really no offense but I don't like when multiple ship hulls are combined into one. Anyways as I said, I don't want the Heca to replace the Nemesis I just would like to see it done as the EA Battleship since there is no Battleship.

Hi Folks. It's the first time i post here but im often read this forum. And so i must say this Dreadnought is'nt B5. First. Look the EA could'nt build many Warlocks and i think this Ship is a bit stronger so it cost much more time and work to build. Second. The EA could not build Powerplants which were strong enough to Power up an Vorlon Lightning-gun without 1 min. of recharging. So i think this Ship could not power all weapons. And third. If I remember right Not even the Minbari got Armour which absorbs 80% of Damage done by Weapons, this is an thing only Vorlon Armour and Shields (Yes Vorlon Ships had Shields) are able to do.


I hope that my thoughts weren't to "BAD".



Ohh and before i forget it. Don't be angry with my English but im from Germany. And all English i could "do" i got from school.

Oh, and Kosh, I don't think Vorlon ships had shields. They had an adaptive bio-armor that evolved to become resistant to a particular weapon type (provided the first hit didn't kill the ship outright; it was used on the White Stars, according to what Marcus says in the mission to hijack Babylon 4).

If you can post a link that says that Vorlon vessels have shields, I might be inclined to believe you.

Some of these fan built B5 ships suck quite badly.

Yep, you are right IP. Personally I am satisfied with canon ships.

Thanks PERA! Thats exactly where i got my infos from. To JC DENTON goto b5tech.com and then goto Vorlon Empire -> Vorlon Ships and there are the Vorlon Star Dreadnought.

Oh NO, not b5tech.... most of that site is complete crap.. haven't you read earlier posts?

As long as it wasn't said in the show that Vorlons have shields, I don't buy it....

Well,I suppose there are a lot of good things on b5tech... but a lot of what they say is crap.....

Yes Yes Yes. I know that the armour on the Victory refracts 80% of the Damage. But what i mean is that Vorlon shields Absorbs 80% of the Damage done to them and then comes the adaptive bio armour. I read this on a sheet from the "Babylon5 Wars" game. And there you can read that Vorlon Ships where outfitted with shields. And if i remember right. In the Battle of Koreanna VI one Starfury got very close to an Star Dreadnought and if i see right on the HUD of the SF you could see the Shield of the Vorlon Star Dreadnought. Maybee some people have an Screenshot to see.

If someone had that screenshot, please post it, I would be very interested.

According to AoG all Vorlon ships and the Whitestar have EM shields. Shadow ships have energy diffusers but no shields. However I don't really outright believe them without further proof, especially as several things in their literature are their for the game's sake, not for any other reason.

ok

Victory were supposed to be outfitted with bio-armor similar to that of the White-Star's armor.

The Crystalline Armor of the victory was stated in the show to REFRACT 20% of all energy weapons.

Vorlons were shown to have a type of shield that was formed by it's beam gun when in one of the episodes (I think the one where Kosh orders them to attack a shadow fleet and then he gets killed). White-stars were said in an episode to have a shield that will defend against lower power weapons totally and only the kinetic power will be recieved. Minbari ships have some type of EM shields. None of the ships except 3rd-space aliens have shields like we have always seen them in other sci-fi shows.

That's the difficulty in this issue, you have shields and you have shields.... there are different kinds of them

edit to my earlier post:

The victories armor refracts 80% of energy weapons.



About the Imperium: I like it, goes along with palpatines "rule by fear and big ships" thing. The empire in the older days would have plenty of resources to start cranking these out but since the rebellion it would take quite a while to build one since the empire is pretty dead and split up. Were you talking about the crystalline armor of the sun crusher? I recall that it was VERY expensive and difficultto get enough for a ship that small none the less for a goliath that size. It can only be made at the Maw installation I think.

Can someone tell me who are the zuaahan vong and where did they appear? (book, comic)name?

Hmmm... Well beside the fact no earth ship can "outgun" a Minbari ship it looks cool. But how long would it take something like that to build? Having all kinds of big guns dose not help it at the ship yard, and taking about five years to buid along with all these high powered guns on it how much would this thing cost? There is one ship that can take it out in one shot... The Victroy class destroyer. Bye bye ship!
