Description
"One last battle to hold the line against the night!"I think that the Minbari would make a short job with the Federation. Until, of course, the Enterprise arrives...

That's beautiful!
That's like a visual interpretation of a storythread that had been created in a xover between the Star Trek vs Minbari fic in SB.com by the author Skeet.
Wonderful, davemetlesits...

The other thing is that the larger the ship, the more vulnerable it could be. There was this mirror universe DS9 episode (name escaped me for the moment) when Sisko helped them build their own Defiant and the constant hits by this tough little ship against the huge Negh'var eventually brought it down. Like flee bites!

Oh and what incompetent Captain would fly his ship across the firing path of another ships main cannons?

The Minbari wouldn't stand a chance against even a small group of the Federation ships for one simple reason: Shields. The Feds have them Minbari don't.
The weapons in B5 seem so incredibly destructive because the ships have no shields. The Minbari are protected from human weapons because of some form of "active stealth" that prevents lock-ons.
The Minbari do have more powerful weapons and tougher ships but would still have been crippled into giving up their genocidal rampage if the Human ships could make more consistent direct hits.
The Federation have tougher ships than the humans in B5 and shields and systems that would get past the "Active Stealth" very easily. Add sub to trans nuclear torpedoes, beam weapons that literally vaporize matter, ships that are as fast as fighters and if called for can explode with a force that would annihilate a small moon (Warp Core), and you have a situation where being big, fish-like, and aggressive is no help at all.
*I'm referencing the Original TV programs not the RPGs and other material that have come about since for both B5 and Star Trek TOS.

Thank you for the info. I have not know that. I have only watched a few episodes of B5 and have seen the Battle of the Line scene on Youtube yesterday

I hope I did not come off a preachy or chiding.
You do some great scenes and I hope you keep it up.
BTW, the Minbari use fighters. I don't know if those are available for use but I'm sure you could find out.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, not at all. It's good to know these things.
Minbari fighters? I'll keep an eye out for them...
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
in fact:
the federation will have a short job with the Minbari, because the shild system ^^
And the Enterprise only never can change some situation ...
It's just one ship

Okay, I know, it's just only that the Enterprise/Defiant/Voyager always gets ten times the beating than every other ship arond them, yet they always survive almost unscratched

Sweet. Once the Enterprise arrives, then it turns into a party!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, that's why they call it a landing "party", a boarding "party"... who cares, they are bringing the booze, the Minbari bring the women and Kirk will have some fun

OMG! What a battle. Old constitution classes against the Mimbari. Unfortunately, the Federation are fish in a barrel. Against newer classes of ships they might stand a chance.
Love the piece. Again, must've been a bitch to reneder all of that. Very nice work.
