This is about Connie love and all of a sudden it's about other genre ship sizes??? Someone get the riddlin (focus kids)!

[gevatter Lars]

Just to mention a little thing about this who would win discoussion....it the Kilrathi Dreadnought with 22km length ^_^
No realy if you try to argue about the who would win you should consider the weapons a ship uses. Whitestar ships for excample are quite small, but using a gravimetric/antimatter beam. This gives them quite a punch and lets the Sat hit a Whitestar with its great mobility.
Also the SSD is a big ship, but compared to what a Minbarie Sharlin can put out in firepower the SDD has just lowlevel weapons...ok many, but then you just have to destroy the upper structure of the SDD to disable it.

Hope you get the point...who wins depends on many things..other then size.


About the ST ships I have seen here...can you have big battles with lets say at least 10 Galaxy class vessels and still have more frames then a slideshow?

Did you not see season 4 of Babylon 5? It's perfectly in character. We just had the wrong idea of what Vorlon character was because Kosh was fairly atypical for a vorlon.

Lars, how many FPS are you talking aout, above 20? 40, 60? L8tr

No, I didn't really take any notice after (I thought) Sheridan copped for it at Za'ha'dum. Funny you should ask 'cos I saw a post season3 episode on UKTV today and quite fancy seeing the rest.

Season 3 and Season 4 were the best B5 had to offer. If you liked S3 you'll love S4 cause it actually ties up a lot of the preceding stuff.

sod it.



can't be arsed messing around trying to download it on the sly.

that's kinda the Babylon5 way isn't it ?

[karajorma]

Unfortunately season 4 tied up too much. JMS didn't know that they were getting a fifth season so he tied up as much as possible in the fourth season.

The result is that the start of season 5 is weaker than you'd have otherwise expected. It does pick up by the end though.

When you watch Intersections in Real Time in S4 remember that supposed to be where season 4 would have ended had JMS known that he'd get a 5th season. That said I don't think I could have waited a whole half year to find out what happened following the end of that episode!

[Omniscaper]

I know this is not related to "Constitution class starship WIP", but who cares.

Babylon5's last season could have been great if they have developed the Telepath civil war more effectively. I think Crusade was a bad move and Staczinsky should have concentrated on Tlelepath stuff and the Dralk. Speeking of bad moves, Legend of the Rangers, I was quite disappointed.

[Liberator]

Rangers was okay on it's own, but a series it's not.  I do agree that they should have covered the Telepath stuff from the 5th season better.

I think he faced that dilema every season. mainly due to dodgy American's and their mega short TV attention spans.

[karajorma]

He did but it particularly shows in Season 5. In seasons 1-3 he simply decided that by leaving the show on a cliffhanger he could ensure the public lynching of any exec who cancelled the show.

As for crusade the show had promise. I doubt it would ever have been as good as Babylon 5 but in true JMS style Season 1 was fairly generic. You can see the seeds of future storylines being sown (same as in B5-S1).  

I suspect that given the chance Crusade might have ended up surprising a lot of people

Spoiler:

(especially as the Drakh plague problem was supposedly going to be sorted by the end of season 3)

[Omniscaper]

My biggest problem with crusade is its captain.

I'm sorry MIKE BRADY from the Brady Bunch movies does NOT belong in the B5 universe!!!!

[Liberator]

You'd've preferred Marsha?

Seriously, if not him, who?  Michael Biehn?

Who was your favorite character BTW?  Galen, who else.

[Omniscaper]

HELL!!! Galen made the show worth something. (besides the Excaliber ship design). I love the premise of technomages.

But, the overall story arc seem a bit problematic. Staczinsky took quite a risk starting a series on such a dark complication. Battlestar Galactica had a better dark story to run with. Who actually wants to watch a show where ppl run around looking for big medicine for the Earth???

[Getter Robo G]

I watched it...

I was pissed whenit ended. I knew they had planned on a cure mid series run, but I was looking forward to the return of the 3rd space aliens (The hand)...

Meh, never liked the Constitution. Still, nice work.

The Constitution looks like an old disc hubcap and a bunch of sticks.

You heathen.  The Constitution-class is the original, the true, Enterprise.  It was one of the most kick-ass ships in all of sci-fi.  Great work!

...as long as its post-refit.

YAY!!! 1000 posts and a Fenris rank!!! YAY!!!!
