Hey, if youse guys wants, when you're done I could make it into a pdf thingie and make it look real neat, like a real SRM.

Click, Bump, Spam; what do all these words have in common?

They all came from Styro

Seriously though, could you make enough 'living ships' to fill a SRM?

Chuck in a species 8472 ship, since they're organic.

[Robbert Raets]

The Vorlons, too. No, wait....

Well lets see, from canon we have the space omebia, the planet killer, "Junor", the crystaline entity, Species 8472 was mentioned (I'd leave the Breen out though), umm some one help me out here I know there's more..., new rules on the special nature of space entities, notes on personal habits and diet preferences .

All in all, I think we could come up with at least a dozen with out much effort, twenty or more if we try real hard.

Also I don't think we'd need to keep it to moble things, we could also incorperate items like the Dyson's Sphere while not a space monster, it presents a similar problem. or Yondalla from "For the World is Hollow, and I Have Touched the Sky". The book could be as much an adventure collection, as a SRM.

But that's just my thoughts on the subject...

Someone mentioned the Vorlons - how about the Shadows? Bwahahahaha!!!

Seriously, I did once try a Spacedock version of the Whitestar from B5 (I have the model that comes with the action figures) as it's such a funky design. Definitely pulse phasers plus a high-end forward phaser array. Did we ever see it fire astern though? And how do you handle the Vorlon adaptive armour? (I used ablative armour rules and said they regenerated lost points over time - not quick enough to be of use in combat though)

[Phoenix]

So, is any one going to take a stab at the fish?

Cap. Hunter (is that your rank of job title)
I like your thoughts on the WS armor, I personally have been trying to figure out some of the Shadow tech for a really alien species (I'm not going with true B5 canon though). Also, I'm basing my thoughts for the tech on a nano-device-designs, not the living organic data that seems questionable from B5. there's been too many little hints at some thing not alive, some thing anti-Vorlon. Besides I really liked their planet killer idea-

Step one: Release replicator device with power draining weapon.
Step two: Device start to drain all forms of power from target planet.
Step three: Shift power to replicators, begin building many missiles.
Step four: Launch missiles in to planet repetedly.
Step five: Use matter and energy from now burning planet to make more missiles.
Step six: command core device to proceed to next planet on list.
"Repet as needed"

I think I've been to too many SciFi web sites.

"Capt.Hunter (is that your rank or job title?)"

Either, depending on which side of me you get.

Pulls a knowing grin similar to Picard's when challenged by Tomalok in "The Defector"

BTW, what's the power source for the Fish? Total Conversion Stomach? Algae Fermentation Generator? Amalgams of the warp cores from the starships it's chewed up? Sheer cussedness? Give us some info here!

Hey! I changed my signature earlier and it seems to have retroactively changed the ones on all my old posts too! The old boards didn't do that! (Tarnation! I like people reading my old bits of scribble!)

So, would my Fish'n'Chips recipe idea on one of the other threads work or not? I forgot to add a torpedo (or multikinetic neutronic mine - it'll take quite a bit...) full of batter mix...

[Robbert Raets]

It's really nice. I like it. Maybe something like it will turn up when the Plasma Torpedoes start flying in the akira vs. D'Deridex rematch.....

[Highway Hoss]

"Rock-Biter!?" A budget frog? As the head of Columbia Internet said in the cartoonUser-Friendly "The less I know, the smaller my ulcer."

[Phoenix]

Awh come on Hoss. My wife and I have even gone so far as to figure out stats for security...White Blood Cells...hee hee (I bet Styro never thought of that ).

Actually we're trying to make the thing as realistic (for Trek) as possible- no quantum/ transphasic/ pulse thingys here. However we are streaching things just a little in areas, but all will be explaned.

(I think Steve has a place for people to burn in reserved for us all)

Phoenix...ducking now!!!
