    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    Clark does need to carry the weight of his crimes, he wasn't the only criminal but he is significantly responsible. If he had said no would they have just found somebody else? Possibly, but he said yes so it lays upon his head. The Black Ops guys are also villains and maintained a lot of...

    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    Might well be so . You can see on the CG model textures that the hull is lots and lots of hexagonal panels, maybe a crystal grown and cut horizontally?

    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    About 6-9 months I believe depending on the ship. Multiply that by however many shipyards and its a pretty fast build up. No idea on Minbari, again depends on the ship. They built hundreds of Whitestars in a few months in secret so they probably have some pretty decent capacity when mobilised...

    My thanks :) If you are the same chap who frequents SB then I have great respect for your work, particularly the Ark Royal setting

    Yeah if you have questions that is fine, costs me nothing to go look something up :)

    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    sadly not, as far as I can tell no PDF of B5 Wars exists. The books I think sort of predate the take off of e-books and the such. It cost me about £150- 200 to buy them all on ebay 20 years ago, but that's because I'm in England and I don't think they were ever released here. You may have better...

    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    Exactly what I did 20 years ago :) Bought every piece of canon I could find so that when I wrote something it would be authoritative, last thing I wanted was someone showing up with a small fact which sunk my entire plot :p Good luck with your efforts

    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    Apparently so yes, those red topped circular doors. There is maybe a quick shot of them firing but its very hard to tell Thats a remaster of the original CGI files that played on the show I'd guess Drakh drives are more efficient an powerful but it'd be mostly the beam weapons and advanced...

    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    My thought is they've had Drakh tech for 20 or so years which should be enough time to unlock the basics. Drakh seem roughly equal to Minbari so should compare well, numbers accepted. Mainly they needed some sort of advantage to keep them competitive and explain why they don't get rolled by the...

    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    This was my order of battle for the Dilgar in this fic, they may have some new types by 2258 but probably the core are these hulls. Just more of them Dilgar Home Fleet- Dar'sen Dilgar Strike fleets 1st- Dal'shan 2nd- An'jash 3rd- Jha'dur (newly formed) Valari class dreadnought x3 2km...

    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    there's a few discrepancies between what the ship should be and what the animations show, for instance the Omega was supposed to launch fighters from her rotating section B5 style and use those massive chin guns as her main weapons. As a rule in the case of contradiction I'll just pick what...

    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    If she feels like it :D I'd expect if Morden was happy to give Clark the tech to build a true Shadow warship, what would they offer the Dilgar? Worth noting the only person to really hurt a Vorlon was Jha'dur when she made the poison that nearly killed Kosh. That might prove very useful :)

    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    Probably how the Minbari do it so they can sweep 360 degrees with fixed mounts (Firing arcs permitting)

    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    That is apparently how the Omega lasers work, most of it runs down the centre of the ship and is bounced up to those turrets, but with the Hyach weapon it seems to be too powerful to be easily bounced. At least not by lenses or mirrors. For the Tempest, pretty close honestly

    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    Hyach spinal lasers are indeed very powerful, about twice as powerful as a Minbari gun, but with them being spinal mounts they are harder to aim and slower to fire. Certainly the most powerful in terms of punch, but there are disadvantages which may hold it back

    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    To broadly reckon where the two sides stand techwise... Earth has gravitic propulsion and habitats, its Centauri based but that doesn't matter much. They have reverse engineered some Minbari tech but it is a slow process. Most ships will still be using Centauri or League based tech. In terms...

    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    not impossible, the design is certainly very easy to assemble :) I guess it depends on if it is good enough, I was watching a vid on what it took to modernise WWI battleships to serve in WWII. It was done and in several cases the ship was pretty decent, but would it be better to build just a...

    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    I'll probably write a few chapters of each and see what I think I can do the best job writing. We are talking years worth of work so its something I need to consider :) There is an Omega variant which has Nova guns, a Command Cruiser I think it is classed as. Not sure if it is truly canon but...

    Probably be the Drakh war as the next B5 project after this AU Or WWIII

    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    That would have been a useful vector, the Minbari would ignore them but Earth might well be ready to listen.
