I'd have to look at a B5 video to be certain, but the neutron cannons look a bit on the skinny side.

Reducing something from 100,000+ polys to ~1000 would be a simple *****.....probably easier to make them yourself.

Natter (netter?) Digital did the work, at least for the last few seasons.

You must have posted this after I posted the news or something because I never saw it, nevertheless I'm altering our news to include this thread, as it just rocks  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Looks great.  It does need to be bigger.  Also doesn't the Minbari cruiser fire beams higer up?  They have some intenna/poles on the front.

Not at all bad. It's well within acceptable limits.

And the Sharlin has a LOT of beam cannons. Most points are weapons.

Yeah, lots o beams to contend with.  Kazan did a great job on anti-fighter beams that means they are dangerous but not so dangerous that you get shot down enmasse.  We're still tweaking some of the other weapons.
