If nothing else was unnecessarily complicated no-one would have felt the need to redo it. The armour system is unnecessarily complicated and that has already been covered in previous posts here.
A simple but elegant, race based system would make it easier for the AI to build something accurate and effective. It would also help those who just want to play an accurate B5 representation without having to guess how much of what armour/structure etc to put on their battleship.
I agree with Grumbler that a little more watching B5 and using that as a source of inspiration and a little less rule-book reading will give us something more playable and fun.
I'm not trying to upset anyone, just telling it how I see it.
