About the future...
In B5 you can see a 1,000,000 years-preview when humans are already something like vorlons. I think I've seen a very advanced humen ship in this scene. Does anyone know if I can find some pictures or informations about this ship?

Got to be better shots than that. Everyone keep looking 
In any case, I'd like to have that ship as a sort of cheat ship to replace the Volition Bravo's sailing ship. That way when you type in the cheat codes, you'll get an all poweful Vorhuman (hah!)ship 
Loosing the battle of the line, call this baby in

Naah, more like my VIRed-beam, it has a damage of 560000.
It was used as a planetkiller mounted on a sathanas, worked like the Excaliburs main gun. Needed a lot of tweaking though...

I'm bored of those "one-super-gun" ideas, too many ships already have "one-super-gun".
I like it to be more like Sharlin, many moderately powerful weapons, good coverage. It doesn't even look pure combat vessel, more like a transport.
Oh, what the hell... If it is supposed to be a special ship, perhaps arm it with four battlecrab beams, each beam is half of shadow slicer's power. Of course fighter defense is good as well...

Hey, I really wasn't being serious about that VIRed.
But think about vorlon, shadow and all the other firstones ships. They all have only one really powerful gun(well except one on the firstones). In B5 more advanced ships have always only one big gun.

And that's their main weakness, they can be ambushed from side or behind and if enemy is strong they are wiped out pretty quickly.
Of course it depends how maneuverable ship is, Dreadnought seems to be pretty sluggish.

but what if u put tons of beams no flacks and no pulses and only anti-fighter beams with other design that do 50% damage to fighter with one shot and 1%damage to a capship and i mean tonns by tonns like equip an aeolius with say 25 beams dohats allot i think ok 15 will do then it can take out ships with ease and make it controllable with under the C key. And armour should be some serious **** cause this ship is from a thousand years in the future

I think the reason why the first ones only have one gun is the fact that one shot (mostly) kills the enemy. No matter if the you come from the side or right from the front. You are dead who cares if that has stile?
The first one who fires will live the other one is dead...
The only weakness in this taktik is, if you use a lot of ships like the Whitestars, your enemy can take only one done when you attack from all sides. He gets one, but you also get him!
--> Every battle got its prize that has to be payed.
