Subject: "Official B5 specifications?" [was: TBP B5 Olympus Class Corvette - Confused...]
Hi all, > I actually wouldn't read TOO much into the "WB stamp of approval" - Right - Let me get things inperspective and say that I'm not some freak obsessed with having "official" specs all the time... 8-) But if there was a set of supposedly sanctioned ship plans and stuff, I'd be keen to get them. > Whether JMS ever sees any of this stuff personally I don't know, but I This is where I was coming from - I would have assumed JMS would of had draft notes and ideas on the various space fleets and the vessels that appeared on the show, and I would have thought these would have been used to create the initial stuff. Crusade and such would have added a few more, then presumably someone, like B5W or TBP would fill in the gaps... But as you suspect WB probably haven't got a clue anyway! Anyway our group has a couple of guy's with genuine FT fleets (1 NAC & 1 ESU), me with B5 (EF and Minbari), another B5 guy and about 4 more B5 guy's who'll get into it once they see a game in progress at our club! We've messed around with the 2 FT fleets but haven't done the 'crossover' thing yet... Has anyone played FT vs B5 Fleets? We are gonna use the FTFB rules (obviously) and at present Richard Bax's B5 ship data, although I've found some more elsewhere, and of course I'm keen to see Michael Llaneza versions too! The FT version in EFSB emphasises fighters (for movement at least), but FTFB is other way around - anyone see this as a problem... Any comments appreciated...
