It looks cool so far and I have a couple of things to say. Firstly I think that it will look excellent when the engine section is done and secondly how far apart are the guns? (by this I'm getting at how much flak fire can fighters expect/be able to avoid and how much fire can capital ships expect?)

hehe ..let say that u will have quite much flak...on the cargo pods...are double Quad turrets
8 double quads emplacement of the top part stationary one..so this will work as 2 turrets in close proximity
6 interceptor turrets
2 heavy pulse guns
6 sigle quad emplacement on the solar pannel support

Looks cool Once you guys have finished texturing B5 you should start working on the B4 model (j/k)

I think B4 is rather far back on the burner, because it has limited use, unless we do a first shadow war campaign.. and if we do then that won't be for a while.

That and the fact that whenever B5 gets attacked it allways has just enough Starfuries or - if it's the Shadows, a bloomin' huge array of Alliance ships. It doesn't need many turrets

Each of the turrets is stronger than your conventional ship...or has greater refire or pulse speed...so B5 will be able to defend itself fairly well. Fighter support is a MUST however.

That's why B5 has around 48 fighters on standby at any given time.

I have a question, will there be a pre-"Gropos" version of B5 (i.e. with less armament and fewer fighters) for TBP at any point in the future or does the team consider it unnecessary (i.e. if you want a pre-refit version, just disable some of the guns and use fewer fighters)?

It isn't impossible you know (well at least I think it isn't) -- It will be easily done by just disabling the new weaponry :] Or changing what the turrets spill at you...
