Much as I love the doom bricks of the EA showing up, practically you'd be wanting smaller vessels for a lot of these missions. Bigger than a frigate but not a mile long slab
I think the human ships from Halo have a better fit for Earth Alliance aesthetics.Euderion on DA made a lot of great designs too. These Mass Effect designs could fit well in B5 universe too, since they are combination by Human ugly-but-efficient style, with a little bit of starfighter.
There is reason why Humans kept building battleships until 1946 and still built cruisers and battlecruisers even afterwards, despite being not very efficient and extremely expensive compared to smaller or bigger carrier: they looked fcking cool.
My biggest problem with the Human ME ships is the exposed engines. NOT something the Earth Alliance would do in B5 'Verse.These Mass Effect designs could fit well in B5 universe too, since they are combination by Human ugly-but-efficient style, with a little bit of starfighter.
Who wants the space version of a white elephant WWII Yamato when you can have a very practical stealth supercruiser that the enemy won't see coming until it fires, won't be able to target even when it can see it and any shot that manages to hit it will bounce on its extra special nanoarmor?They did, by the time of Crusade they had something very close to a pure Shadow vessel and were working on making their own technomages as elite soldiers.
It's one of the reasons I likely won't have the EA deploy a bigger ship than a Warlock, while the other nations all have huge super battleships Earth's super ship is this
I'll probably end up deploying the Nemesis and Marathon from the RPG, though I'd probably class the Nemesis as just a Shadow tech Warlock.
There is the Medusa class I suppose, the ship from the Minbari War that had three times the firepower of a Nova. Maybe
Some of the wilder ideas for a theoretical sixth Babylon station you could pillage from if you so chose.
Can you pass me a link? I lost sight of that one a few years ago.Why not pilfer some of the EFNI stuff? That seems pretty good if you want a beefed up, but not wanky EA.
(Also, I'm amazed that stuff is still up. Gotta DL that whole site before it goes.)
It's literally just EFNI.org.Can you pass me a link? I lost sight of that one a few years ago.
I just went through the ships there.It's literally just EFNI.org.
He's got some stupid thick armor, so that would go a decent way to explaining the absurd numbers.Good lord, he's WAY overdoing the size of those ships.
