Holy Crap!
That's a bit of work, eh?

Sort of negates what I was thinking, so I'll just keep it to myself.

I created a new file based in known ship stats, and comps listed in them.
http://se4kdy.cyberwars.com/temp/race&ships.htm
It looks better than the other one I had posted here before.

I found a few interesting things I didn’t know:
About Babylon 5 races and shields. Most races have no shields but use VERY HEAVY armor. If I understood correctly, largest Earth Alliance ships have an armor up to 15 meters thick. To represent this in the mod, players would have to put an important amount of armor in their ships to get a decent (balanced) protection.
Vorlons and Shadows seem to have shields, and probably the other First Ones too. Mimbaris have something called "Defense Shield Grid" that I'm not sure if is a shield or some kind of EMC or PDC like EA "Defense Grid Energy Projectors".

Please help me complete correct this file that I think would be great as raw file to make the mod.

Another interesting thing I noticed is that many B5 ships are comparable in size with SW ships. That is good in two ways: first, SW ships will not be disproportionally big and second similar sizes provide a good reference to estimate tonnage of SW ships. Now it looks like ST ships are relatively tiny.

Hey Andres, where are the whitestar and victory class ships?!?!?

Didn't someone create a non-warp point mod of SE IV? If so, it could be used to simulate the differences btwn SW, ST, and B5.

It wasn't a mod so much as a map combined with *extreme* amounts of patience. He used the map editor and placed EVERY WP by hand.

Yep. Yep. Yep. That was me and 12 hours of click-click-clickey-ness.
Grab it from my sig.

Yeah, I followed somebody's link to a site with the silhouettes, and wow. I'm not gonna try to balance that realistically. It must take forever to build those B5 capital ships, and they drop like flies in fleet engagements.

Good luck.

Weren't those ships made with different races cooperation and have a mixture of their comps? They wouldn't fit in any race.
Actually I missed haven't found data on them, I'll add them later.

visit this website: http://hyperspace.isnnews.net/

See also http://www.b5tech.com/index.htm IT's pretty good for getting a good idea of what ships are armed with. I think it's mostly accurate.

And geuss what, tons of info on the whitestar on both of those sites. Man can't believe you had a hard time finding info on the whitestar, its everybodies favorite ship!
