"...even at the height of the Centauri republic, when we were expanding in all directions, we never dared to oppose the Minbari." - Londo, In the Beginning (not direct, had to do it from memory )

The Minbari had pretty much secluded after that Shadow war 1000 years ago. They didn't have relations with anyone, so they wouldn't have needed to challenge anyone.

When I asked you to make a ships list in order of their firepower I ment it with all the races mixed in it not seperate, the lists presented are obvious.
The reason I mentioned anti-fighter defenses on the sharlin is... (this is going to be contorvertial)because I have a working model of the sharlin...I dont know if you guys saw The data 'leak' last friday, but I got the POF model from one of the MOD developers, I dont think he was aware of the impact of his action, anyway I made the table entry and made It work ( I dont think I'm the only one outside of the team to do this) and I think it would be not apropriate to leak it too, so sorry about that guys but I'll keep it to my self (that is if you didnt get it too)
But as I was saying I have it working and tested it in the game with the folwing weapons:
-6 main guns with The AllianceXbean (got that from the UA site)
-4 medium turrets with ULTRA-anti-fighter-bean
-all others are regular AAF's
What I verifyed in game is that if you attack it from the front YOUR DEAD period.
However if you have a big enough fleet of fighters (at least 10) you can possibly slip through its beams and attack it sideways at medium to close range (close to the 'ribs'), it is defenseless here. An escort is vital for the sharlin. With an escort youll get zapped while your trying to eleminate the fighters.It is unstopable destroying other capital ships in my mission one shalin sent 2 ATen and 2 sobeks right to hell in 10 seconds. I could post pics here but I think its up to developers, so Icefire is it OK for me to do this, hmm? and how do I do it?
One last thing the model I got hasn't all the subsytems yet and I sometimes can cross it through I didnt try to change the model density yet.The guns are destryable cool.

Earth could win if you consider other points other than which ship is more powerfull.
eg : Manufacturing ability, earths allies (very important), tactics and motivation.

Sorry, Earth would kick the minbari back to the bone-age.

EARTH RULES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, another try:

(Shadow Hybrid), Sharlin, Warlock, (Omega-X), [Omega, Primus, G'Quan], Nova, Hyperion, T'Loth, Vorchan, Xill, Olympus, Avioki, Xorr, Sunhawk

The three ships in [] are so debatatble even I can't decide. I didn't include the Tinashi, as it's never been seen firing as far as I know.

And that size chart is total crap. The Excalibur is larger than that, and the Sharlin is TWICE as big as that (stated on the show). I think this is a better comparison, even if it doesn't have the sizes: [url="http://gamma.nic.fi/~mpetays/b5/small_lq.jpg"]http://gamma.nic.fi/~mpetays/b5/small_lq.jpg[/url]

Primus looks to be too small and T'Loth looks to be too big.

This is the most canon info you're EVER going to get. In the episode Legacies this info is shown on B5's screen about the Sharlin:

Length 300 meters
Weight 200 Mtons
Speed .2C
Maneuv Class B
Jump G Class A
Cargo 2000 Mtons
Crew 600
Command staff 4
Ground troops 150
Weaponry
12 fusion lasers
6 neutron cannons
6 missile - 20 Mtons

The size is wrong, way too small, and thus the weight is probably wrong too. But I'd say this is pretty canon in the ways of armament.

Lenght 300 meters...never. I know very well it's canon but it is still very wrong.

Please, canon ships only. And I left the First Ones ships out on purpose, but I don't know what made me forget the Whitestar

Remember, a G'Quan did help a lot to kill a Shadow Battlecrab, and thus those forward beams looked pretty damn powerful. I'd still rate the Xill slightly lower, it's only a NAW ship, although a very good one at that.
Do you know how small the Sunhawk is? And they were being blasted apart by a few Vorchans. No way they're better than G'Quans.

The G'Quan that got toasted by the Vorchans had already taken damage in the battle and was holding a jump point open for escaping transports.

The G'Quans forward beam cannons are indeed quite powerful but I would say that they are about on par with what the Omega has.

Quite right. Earth and Narn beam technology has come from same source. Not sure if this source is the Centauri or the Dilgars.
