What does /k/ think of the Omega destroyer?
>>64330025KINOOOO
>>64330025
>>64330025How well does it destroy things
underusedyou clearly see it has missile silos along its sidesand on its front are giant gun ports similar to the narn shipneither were ever used, only its mega-ciws turrets were usedI am pretty sure the rotating section was intended to launch the starfuries but that also wasnt used instead only the recovery bay was used to launch them
>>64330064Reasonably well.
>destroyer>1700m longsurely this is at least a cruiser
>>64330146destroyers are bigger than cruisers in SPAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!
/k/ino series before its time
>>64330169Agreed. Anyone who prefers the expanse to B5 is a retard.
>>64330064it only destroys omegas.
>>64330181B5 started the whole 3d fighter physics with the craft accelerating then rotating to shhot backwards
>>64330143With that much spinning mass, it's going to have a ton of gyroscopic precession. 1/10, ww2 in space tier.
>>64330025Can it be equipped with mass drivers? Asking for a friend.
>>64330260No, but it has a gigaton nuclear mine launcher and a shitload of nuclear missiles. They didn't get screentime in B5 because they were prohibitively expensive to show firing in terms of compute power back in the 1990s, and B5 used very high-end hardware for its rendering.

>>64330279God-Emperor Cartagia is the greatest ruler the Republic has ever known and I'm tired of pretending he's not.

>>64330298Fat bonehead fingers typed this post
>>64330143>"Did you ever meet the commander of the Clarkstown? I did, last year. He has a wife, a young daughter, an abyssinian cat named max. I have no idea what I'm going to tell them."Such a fantastic episode in a fantastic show
>>64330228No. They counter that with, um sciences. Also, D'Lynn was a bonehead bitch, 0/10 my boner.
>>64332479Minbari women are made for breeding with BHC.
>>64330142Half the stuff it was meant to have were just not in the budget to show. Some of the weapon systems do show up on Narn ships though.>>64330163Probably where Freespace games got the whole idea for how the classified their warships.>>64330260Has Lord Refa been smoking the reefa again?>>64330294He went on to become a lawyer.
>>64330146Some times destroyer is used as name for ship what could be cruiser, battleship, carrier or battlestar instead Blame Star Wars Destroyers in Freespace are even longer
>>64330294He really was a fantastic character.
What are the thoughts on this Earthforce Gunship?
>>64333733Here is a less modern take and a miniature.
>>64333733Sexy. B5 designs just hit a sweetspot for me.
>>64333769J. Michael really hit a tight target. And did it so well.

>the avalanche has started, it is too late for the pebbles to voteKosh best boi.
>>64334103>How will it all end?>In fire.
>>64330146To be fair almost everything in B5 is expected to carry fighters
>>64334276I expect Lyta to carry my fighter if you know what I mean.
>>64334299poor girl, she really just needed love(dick) and emotional support(dick) from me
Going to rewatch this soon. Where should I start? With the prequel movie? Season 1?
JESUS! RIP.>Babylon 5 Actors/Actresses/Personnel Who Have Died>Andreas Katsulas. Actor>Jerry Doyle. Actor.>Tim Choate. Actor >Richard Biggs. Actor.>Stephen Furst. Actor.>Jeff Conaway. Actor.>Michael O'Hare. Actor.>Mira Furlan. Actress.I hope Zathra is still alive, I liked him. For me, he was the One.
>>64334103It's an absolute crime that this incredible line is hidden away in such a nothing episode, but I guess that's part of why it's such a good show
>>64334333Release order is always the right orderBut that said, I've been watching along in a slightly modified order from the Babylon project which fixed a couple of very minor continuity errors
>>64334370A lot of the actors had problems with drugs and/or alcohol abuse. Anyway I think Babylon 5 might be one of the first sci-fi shows I can think of that delved into the idea of weapon systems designed to intercept enemy weapons fire and not have it just be a one episode gimmick. You see this not only on the station but on capital ships as well like it was a integral part of space combat in the setting.
>>64334545>A lot of the actors had problems with drugs and/or alcohol abuse.I for one very much appreciated Michael Garibaldi's alcohol issue story line. Very pertinent and timeless. Almost as much as Londo's voice:> Mr. GARABALDI!Frankly, in S1 Londo was suppressing his demons with bug juice, too. They had an admirable relationship, when nobody would touch Londo.
>>64330228wrong idiot. They have engines that spin space around them in the opposite direction.
>>64334697Yeah he wasn't exactly acting that alcohol issue.
>>64330025yes
>>64330260>>64330279Narn are asking for a ceasefire
>>64334388>fixed a couple of very minor continuity errorslike what?
>>64334860They are detailed here, shit like throwaway comments about when meetings are supposed to occur, or someone reading the same thing from one episode to the nexthttps://babylon5.fandom.com/wiki/Viewing_Order#chrono
>>64334888do you have any specific examples? the page doesn't really detail them.
>>64334729I do much the same. I never move my mouse, I just move the desk under it.
>>64334903If you don't know, it won't matter. Just watch.
>>64335002Yeah it did seem kinda pointless to mess with the order.
I think it's a real shame we only ever got a couple seconds of the Warlock Class.
Close blast doors and activate defense grid.
>>64335063I like Sheridan. He showed that all your problems can be solved with nukes.
>>64335063>>64335075based sheridan
>>64335054Why it's always Centaurii who cause trouble?
>>64335075>we compromise and sleep at 45°>sleepYeah. Fuckin triangle pillows.
>>64335241Reptoids.
>>64335241Space Italians.
>>64334370Yeah, that list is depressing.And unfortunately Zathras' actor died in a motorcycle accident if I remember correctly.
>>64335241That future thankfully never happened, since Sheridan took Cartagia's son away from the poisonous influence of Centauri court intrigues.
>>64338085Really makes me wonder if Londo was wise enough to groom Vir to be his successor then what the fuck was Vir doing all that time?
>>64334545Supposedly the old hot tub factory they used for the set had some carcinogen issues. But yeah, a lot of the actors were druggies, smokers, alcoholic, and fuckups.
>>64339366of such a small group, that number of deaths in the age range they died is vanishingly unlikely, there is absolutely some kind of factor or synergy of factors causing it god what a fucking tragedy, im mid way through watching s5 with my wife, i dont think i can bring myself to share with her that a bunch of her favourites are dead now, at least Londo is still kicking
>>64339318>then what the fuck was Vir doing all that time?Going by that one scene where we see Emperor Vir. Orgies.
>>64339653>there is absolutely some kind of factor or synergy of factors causing itFucking Vorlons.
>>64339653>im mid way through watching s5 with my wife,Solid keeper. Keep her.
>>64330146Look man, every military ship classification is relative. If I wanted to be pedantic I'd say a "cruiser" is any habitable ship with a lot of delta-V compared to carriers and battleships, and a "destroyer" is basically the smallest habitable ship that still technically has enough firepower to incapacitate a battleship or carrier under the right circumstances. Carriers carry fighters or at least landing craft and battleships are too awesome to use. I did zero research to check any of this because I'm really making a point about how there's little point in caring about anything beyond trying to get a show to stick to its own rules, which is too much to ask for when they won't stick to sanity.
>>64330025No radiators and a spinny section on something that's expected to take damage = 0/10
>minbari tech is 10000 years more advanced>1st ones are millions of years more advanced and bio ships. always thought that was neat.
>>64330276>B5 used very high-end hardwareIt famously didn't, they used Video Toasters. IIRC they were Amiga 2000-based, much cheaper than the stuff the real guys were using. Granted that's pricey compared to an A500+, but lmao rendering on 8MHz.t. Amiga magazine reader
>>64340500>It famously didn't,I buy that. Other cost saving measures were that if you weren't in the script, you didn't get paid for that show. One thing I always admired was their guest star cast, they really picked up players from the classic scifi shows.lost in Space, Star Trek, Twilight Zone and so many others. I may seek out a boxed set, just from reminiscing in this thread.
>>64340500They used a small cluster of SGI mainfames.
>>64340567You don't even know what a fucking mainframe is, zoomer. They used Video Toasters and they weren't shy in talking about it.
>>64340583They used 5 SGI machines, boomer. Amiga may have been used for the pilot, but they upgraded.
>>64340631I don't think you understand just how big B5 was with nerds on the internet at the time, my Grok using friend.
>>64340642I watched it live in the 1990's, my unreliable-magazine reading friend.
>>64340790Do I need to go looking for IRC logs?
>>64340521>Other cost saving measures were that if you weren't in the script, you didn't get paid for that showWhat? That's kinda jack for them.
>>64340799Seems fair enough unless they were dicks about scheduling. No workee no money.
