Pulled out the Babylon 5 box sets...

Yeah, love the Starfury, all the human ships in this show are really great. They are all very "real life" and seem like something we'd come up with based on current tech.

The earth vessels designs didn't fudge too much with the Newtonian physics.
The small weightless destroyers and the large Capital ships with their rotating midsections seem both vulnerable and lethal.


The fighter tactics too. I saw the Vipers in Battlestar pulling the same maneuvers - cool stuff.

In the new BSG? Yes. In the old one? Not so much... :)

(Those old vipers seemed to corner as if on rails! I think B5 set the bar on this one.)

definitely new BSG, more than once Starbuck had pivoted 180 to fire upon her pursuers while traveling backwards.

Looks cool to see a Starfury and his wingman do that maneuver in unison.

Both Shows had good space battles were the fighters mixed it up as the carrier or station's defense grid is firing cannon and intercept rounds

Looking forward to Blood and Chrome next year.
