I am working on a new counter sheet for B5/FT. I have finished the
Nova Class EA, the Vree Saucer, and the cylinder ship. I need desperately,
good photos of the Drazi Sunhawk and that big bastard that was with the Fleet
of light in the engagement with the Shadow fleet. Anyone help??

The Brakiri ship? Or are you thinking of another one? Not that I can
help, just trying to clarify. There is an okay off-angle shot of the
Brakiri cruiser (which looks almost as large as a Minbari Sharlin cruiser) in
the latest batch of Fleer cards (#38 in fact).
No, I don't have an extra. Sorry.

a Mimbari cruiser, which makes it around a mile long.

Just a suggestion, but wouldn't it be a good idea to state which episode the
spoilers are for?

A mile long!? I didn't think the ships were that big. Maybe B5 itself,
but...

I've posted this before, but it seems apprpriate again:

Wouldn't bother. I once asked him about the number of Shadow ships involved in
attacks, and he got it WRONG! It would seem that the SFX department has a mind
of their own.
B5 is 5 miles long. Watching a taped episode last night, it shows a
Minbari WC alongside B5-stationary. It seems to be a little under
1/3rd the length of B5. This would make it pretty darn big!

I'm game - what's his e-mail address ?

Yeah, I guess you're right. The numbers just seems a bit misleading until you
look at the ships next to B5.

The weight seems a bit off though for a ship that big. That is 600 Metric
tons, right? If yes, I was expecting something like maybe 100,000 Metric tons.

Something I've been thinking about...
Most of the other races have various sizes and types of ships. However, we've
only seen one capital design for the Minbari. What if they just use the same
design, but scale it up?
That way, you could have a Minbari Dreadnought that was 1/3rd the length
of B5, and smaller cruisers that are 300m long.
Another benefit of at least external similarity would be in combination with
ECM and cloaking technologies... How far away are the ships? Is it a carrier
or a battleship? &c...
Just hypothetical, of course.

It could mean Megaton, too (well, should be Mton in that case). 6 million
tons... for something a mere 300 meters long? And with B5 itself massing
2.5 Mton... Hm.

My guess was that it either meant 600,000 tons, and that the usage had been
changed to make it unfamiliar (using M as in the Roman system), or that it

earthly vessels) or that the graphic was made by a numpty with no sense of
numbers...

That has a certain ring of truth to it. If you have a look at the keyboard
where the 'M' is it isn't that far from where the 'K' is and they may have
meant 600 K tonnes...
you just never know...
