Will the Ikarus make her way in TBP?
For all who don't know what I mean: The Ikarus was the ship on which Sheridans wife and Mr. Morden where, when they discovered (and waked) the Shadows on an archeological mission on Za'ha'dum (damn shadows, can't they give their planets typable/writeable names? ).

They might do it to increase the variety of B5 ships... But it would be nice exploration vessel - and it would be cool to see in some mission Explorer class ship.

I thought that it was Icarus, like the kid who flew too close to the sun...

This ship is [URL=http://www.b5tech.com/earthalliance/earthallianceshipsandvessels/earthotherships/icarus.jpg]Icarus[/URL]

Icarus is an unknown class, so we might as well call it Icarus class. Whatever.

And this one is [URL=http://www.b5tech.com/earthalliance/earthallianceshipsandvessels/earthcapships/explorer/cortez.jpg]Explorer[/URL]
Ahh, a bit over 6 km long mammoth. Even bigger baby than Victory class destroyer is. (Over twice as long)

Two different ships, just to preventing any confusion between them occuring.

The answer is 'maybe' and the answer to when 'if we have time'.

There's other ships on the priority list.

There is not much practical use for Icarus...

Yeah it would be cool, but quite useless...

Indeed Mr. Genious. Another difference is that the Explorer is not a warship.

The Explorer ship is one of the coolest Earth ships in my opinion. It's kinda like a miniature mobile construction yard. That thing'll be killa to see in game. Just like B5.

Escorting something as big as an Explorer would ba a bit of a problem.

Just like defending B5 could be a bit of a bitch if subjected to a coordinated attack.
