Gotta agree with Mr. Fury, I've never seen anything that beautiful on my screen... GREAT work, CptWhite!

The Sharlin (and the vorchan also) looks absolutely great! The textures are very good, but where is the MAIN ("forehead") gun??? It should be located in the front eclipse of the top fin..

Thats a gun? Thats a sensor array.

Yes it is a gun. You don't see it fire that often but I KNOW I saw it fire in movie ThirdSpace. So I have to say it is a gun. Maybe the sensor array is built around it even though that sounds very unlikely.

in B5Wars are the ship details!
there are 4 Neutron Laser (the large ones ) and 10 Fusion Cannons forward and 2 Neutron Laser and 8 Fusion Cannons backward.
And the "spiky thing" is the Electro-Pulse Gun!
It's used against fighters to force drop-outs!
These data are from the game ... with the sign of Warner Bros.! hehe

B5 Wars is balanced in their own way so that it works "on paper" so the stats aren't necessarilly kosher either. Its an interpretation we'll choose to make (as they have) and I've never seen the Sharlin fire from that point and I've watched in detail on ThirdSpace as well as In The Beginning and so on.

It already has enough turrets on our model.

IceFire, I looked the Thirdspace through and at least when the battle against the ThirSpace aliens begins and when the Minbari ships have jumped in there is a clear scene showing the Sharling shooting it's Main Beam Cannon, the thing I wrote about earlier, the flower-kinda thing with spikes in it (that you said was a sensor array), so Ranger1 is right, it IS a weapon and a big one too! And if you don't want to model it at least make some new textures for it so it doesn't seem like something's missing.
Why not to model it? Maybe you could also make the Omega lack it's main laser beam cannons, the red ones. And the G'Quan and so on...

Sorry Mogli, but B5Tech isn't very reliable. Some of these informations were never confirmed in the show, rather some of these informations could have been made up by B5Tech guys.
