if there is any consistancy with the Shivans, it's their lack of consistancy - -Norbert-

"i thought that they barely managed to beat them back?"
Well, all that is really said about it is "We beat them back and disabled the gate". Then the rouge vorlons stole the gate and went into hyperspace.

Probably, once cloaking is fully implimented.  Needs to be in D3D as well as OGL, and needs proper control.

By the way, do you want a full list of ships we have seen shields effects on?

- Primus
- Whitestar
- Dreadnought
- Battlecrab
- Aurora

Yes, the standard starfury is among those we have seen some kind of shield effect...
Not to mention that the effect was seen only once. Even on Whitestar, and we have seen a Whitestar taking hits more than once. :)

However, I looked carefully, many times, on the next shot, and you cant really see the beam penetrating the Vorlon ship. And when the cruiser fly's by, you cant see any damage on the other side of the Vorlon's claw that was hit, though it wouldn't be easy to spot anyhow.


After the beam hit you see damage to the vorlon ship.
And maybe you can't see it anymore after the battel is over, because the vorlon ships are organic and reparing damage even better then the Whitestars, which are actually seen regenerating behind either Marcus or Sherridan in one episode. It's one with a commentary of JMS, so it shouldn't be to hard to find if you have the DVDs.

"After the beam hit you see damage to the vorlon ship." Yes, you do see the ship get a minor damage, but you dont actually see the shadow beam penetrating the vorlon claw. Anyways, it's not a big deal :p

In which episode was a starfury with a shield effect seen though?

There's no reason not to divert all power away from the "Shield" in the game? Since there is no shield I mean :p Unless you've made it affect the armor somehow?

Thirdspace.

TBP fighters do have shields, but they have absolutely no effect on weapons. They do protect against explosions and shockwaves. Should you divert all your power from shields, you will notice that you will suddenly get more damage when near explosions.

Yes, on the picture I see that...Thats not visible on my episode though, I checked again when I saw your screenshot. Most strange. Could it be widescreen or something messing it up? You cant see below the Vorlon claw here, so it seems like the shadow beam miss when it starts shooting, then just scratch the Vorlonship.

 
Hmm, I recall Shadows/Vorlons supposed to be in 3.1. Might've been my imagination, anyways...

How will the Vorlon weapons be done? As in the energy joins up from the pylons/prongs/tentacles and fires bit?

I wonder about that too. Would be great if you managed it just like in the series. I guess that would be more of a job for the SCP though, altering how the beam fires. Can't wait for the Vorlon&Shadow ships to be included.

Yes, but it didn't go through the vorlon ship. It was kind of a grazing shot (not sure if thats the right translation.
Like you get a bullet shot at your face but it hits so that it only leaves a scratch on the cheek).
And I think I remember a tiny piece of the vorlon ships hull flying away.
