I am plannng a Psi-Corps campain. Can someone please do PSI-CORPS Reskins/MODs of the EA capitals and the Carrier from Epiphanies

[Slasher]

A Psi Corps crew shuttle is available, though it's not nearly as big as the fighter carriers seen in Epiphanies.

[Col. Fishguts]

The Psi mothership (converted Asimov liner) is in the 3.4 beta, ya'know.

[Skullar]

And other capital ships like Omega are.... somewhat illogical. The PsiCorps relies on covert operations, not on open fighting, mundanes can be pushed into those jobs. Don't put a teep at risk if a mindane could do the job.

[terran_emperor]

I figure that Psi-Corps has it's own small fleet of destroyers and cruisers etc. They just keep it well hidden. Or they have had little reason to use it. But when Push comes to shove, there would have been open fighting in the Telepath War.

I mean using a fleet Psi-Corp modified Earth Alliance Capital ships would make the Telepath War even more devestating. Something that Earth didn't expect

And who says they didn't. JMS hasn't as far as I Know and we never saw the Telepath war that resulted in the fall of Psi-Corps.

[Skullar]

William Edgars said : "When these people get out of their uniforms, can you distinguish them from normals ? "
----
Alfred Bester : "Right... and therefore the war between us and the mundanes won't be a "war" at all"
----
Garibaldi : "we still outnumber them 1000 to 1"  ( and Edgars tells him that is NOT the way the war will take place )


I don't know what the telepath war is, but I know what it isn't : An open conflict between mundanes and normals, both sides in their respective uniforms/ships/ shooting at each other.

This just wouldn't make sense.

With their capabilities they COULD somehow obtained some capital ships no one else knows about, but as you said : a "small"!!! fleet.

"I mean using a fleet Psi-Corp modified Earth Alliance Capital ships would make the Telepath War even more devestating. Something that Earth didn't expect"

The Psi Corps is already on Earth. They don't have to come with an unexpected armada to set foot on the ground.

later, must go now....

Only reason they had shuttles was for covert operations and personnel transfers...
Only reason PSI corp had those starfuries was to conduct covert operations. Like chasing down rogues and so on...
Only reason they had motherships and carrier shuttles was to support their fighters...

As to why they were had such a distinctive paintjob... Probably to intimidate. Same as black uniforms and gloves and nasty attitude. Probably had their hair dyed as well. Don't remember seeing a blond PSI cop...


And it wasn't a war. Afterwards it was often referred as telepath crisis.

[Mungrel]

As to why they were had such a distinctive paintjob...

And so we could see the difference between the ships in the show, this made it very easy! 

[IPAndrews]

I imagine the telepath war being something like the war in Iraq, the one we're still fighting.

You know I'm (still) working on PSI Corps campaign¹⁾... which is set after the Earth-Minbari-War and is about the PSI-Shadow-relationship ("from foes to friends... and to foes again")

my idea of PSI Corps fleet is that they do have something else apart from these motherships... but not a highly developed fleet; one Nova (looking like a normal EA Nova for disguise) and later one Omega-X (because it is most likely that PSI Corps helped with the research on Shadow-tech)

¹⁾ I'm not working on this damn thing until there is a solid 3.4 release to work with!

The victor writes history. Psi-Corps may have considered it a war, But afterwards EA tuned it down into a crisis.
Crusade ~ Valued Judgements (unfilmed, but scripted, I count this as Canon):
Bester: It wasn't a crisis, it was a war
---------
Also, before that, bester believed in a coming war between Teeps and mundanes. I believe he was gathering his forces for that. That means he was recruiting people, but also he'd need more than a small fighter squadren to take on all of EA. My campaign will be based on that belief, I don't ask that you also follow them.
All I ask is that someone does Psi-Corps reskins for the Hyperion, Midwinter, Nova, Omega, Poseidon and Warlock, and that someone Models the Carrier seen in Epiphanies.
As to where they got them - ships officially listed as MIA or destroyed that have been recovered, ships that were stolen - though someone else was blamed (ie Raiders) - by the Corps. And various other methods.
Oh I agree that they will not have as many ships as the EA, but when modified to use Shadow weapons and/or combined with the Psi factor that can be quite devestating.
And as for Man power:
1 Automation
2 Mind Slaves Mentally controlled people like Garibaldi was in S4
