SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT DANGER WILL ROBINSON!! SPOILER ALERT DANGER!! DANGER!! There now, enough of that. I just saw the next episode of B5 and have come to the horrible (wonderful?) realization we must now turn furrowed brow toward the Vorlon Armada. Scared? Hell yes. (Narns aren't very good with Bio-technology.) Here are some thoughts. Vorlon Vessels use adaptive hulls that are very resistant to energy attacks. We can safely call it Armor, I think. We also now know that this is all really just a grudge match between the Vorlons and the Shadows. I would think (judging from the recent battle between the Vorlon Heavy plus support ships and the Shadow force that the Vorlon vessels are specifically designed to resist Shadow attacks. Perhaps armoring Vorlon vessels at level two against normal tech folks and level three against Shadow adversaries? How effective is Vorlon telepathy against Shadow Cruisers and what makes the Vorlons vulnerable to the Shadows? I realize this will eventually be answered in the show, but I am trying to think up a frame of reference for the Vorlons within Game terms to try and run an RL scenario here in town. Thoughts? Suggestions? What were those Bogeys in MK's Game?
