Whatever happened to some of those old mods?
I remember once downloading a Shadow Battle Crab, a Shadow Fighter, a Vorlon Fighter, a Vorlon Dreadnought, and a BlueStar. Where have these custom ships gone?

I think they are Den5's mods.  He made them for R2.  I guess the ships are now updated as he is part of TBP...

Nope, we have all new Vorlon and Shadow models. The Whitestar, Avioki and EA Defense Platform are den5's which are currently in 3.1.

As for Bluestar, maybe den5 gets a second version out of it too sometime and we'll include it. When Shadows and Vorlons are introduced, you will see one another model by den5.

In den5's take on the Shadow vessels, he gets around its ability to seemingly fire from any point on hull, but placing a pair of sphere turrets within the hull.  I haven't seen the table entry, but I'm guessing that they have a 360 degree fire radius, and that one turret is for a heavy anti-cap beam, and the other is a more rapid firing lower power beam for use against fighters.  Will TBP's designs use this same technique?

Probably no. There will be only one anti-cap ship beam on Shadow and Vorlon vessels, and that's pointing forwards as we have seen in the show. There might be 2-4 anti-fighter beams with good coverage though.

In show the Shadow ships could shoot at all ships. Therefore I have made a shadow beam as type 3. Second turret is used for energy mine seen in " The Long, Twilight Struggle ".
