I don't know what tbp uses, but http://www.b5tech.com/ is a good source

Im not so sure about that. b5tech (f.e.) states that the starfury carries 8(!)missiles, while the series clearly make only 6 missiles visible...  so I guess there has to be an other source that the developers of tbp used.
(althoug b5tech clearly is at least a VERY good start...)

B5 tech cannot be totally trusted. This has been proven numerous times. But it does give good info about stuff. That can be cross checked with other sources (including the show). Then, when the facts are know, it would be debated and fitted in to the game (like EA-Minbari kill ratio in the war). Or someone could be just be pulling the numbers from his ass. How could I know, I'm just a mission designer. :)

There are even some ships that do not occur on b5tech and the show but are discussed in here (the tiger class fury f.e.) or some centaury capship other than the vorchan and the primus... where did u get the info about these?

Re: Shipdata - where do YOU get it from
The data used in TBP was pulled from many sources and filtered by various team members by the application of our own observations of the show, judgement, and common sense. No one source should be trusted 100%.
Be warned: This site's admins stole 100s of hours of my work. They will do it to you.
