Shadow ships/balance

There hasn`t been too much info considering shadow ships/weapons. So here are some questions.

1. are there any shadow ships in R2 ?

2. How are they balanced against younger races ships ?

3. Do they have any different textures in them, so that they look more organic. ?

1. Nope
2. This will be dealt with in the future.
3. With the source code project we will be able to put animated textures on the ship. So most likely they will look 'organic' or something.

Balancing ?

Actually , BALANCING is not necessary for you are only flying a small pitiful fighter and a shadow battlecrab will shoot the **** out of you if you start bugging it.

So , "balancing" will come via scripted mission design, vorlon and shadow vessels are vastly superior to the ships of the sides you are flying for and ....well, I think you got the point.

Skullar is right. You don't "balance" a Battlecrab. You stay away from it.

well it has been said before that when you go against the firstones fighters you will out number them 3 to 1.

We can talk about Vorlon and shadow fighters when it comes to balancing ( they are nothing but worthless uncrewed drones and vulnerable even to younger races weapons ) , but IP Andrews said it :

STAY AWAY FROM BATTLECRABS !!!!

You guys simply don't understand the meaning of balancing In the case of the Shadow Battlecrab...I will be doing something called balancing "high".

Essentially it equaits to what everyone's been saying tho. RUN LIKE HELL.

Stay the away from any cruiser in the game...

Only attack war cruiser with fighters when you are with a lot, but really LOTS of fighters...
Now that I think of it, is there any kind of bomber in B5?

War cruisers are supposed to feared... just look at the sharlin with all it's weapons firing at a single target, or the hyperion with it's barrage of blue thingys , nasty isn't it?

For all the rest of you.... don't come here.

the Narn Frazi was the only one that was actually on the show. The Badger is on the show as well, but I don't know if I would call it a bomber... but it did pack a lot of punch... (and the Thunderbolt we have seen carrying payloads of missiles... wonder if they named that starfurry class after the A-10 Thunderbolt.... or as some like to call them, the warthog...)

The Drazi Skyserpent. Isn't that classed as a superheavy fighter?

I'm just drooling over the amount of guns that thing must pack. If you like bug booms, you gotta be a bomber jock.
