On with the FAQ:

Q. Exactly how many starship designs do you currently have?
A. Currently, I have ships for the following groups:
                  EarthForce -  12
          Minbari Federation -   6
           Centauri Republic -   0
                 Narn Regime -   1
League of Non-Aligned Worlds -   1
               Vorlon Empire -   3
                     Shadows -   3
===================================
                       TOTAL -  26

Q. Why are only these schematics in color and not the other 3 sections?
A. This was something of a personal preference (Captain's privilege, etc.) Basically, I found the colors on the alien ships far more compelling than in the other series, where everything was pretty much either grey, green or duck-egg blue (Federation starship modelers will get that one). The ships of the B5 universe are so much more vibrant with their choices of colors, I felt this small change was warranted for this one section. And no, please don't ask me to do colored versions of the other ships. That's just too much work. Remember, many of the schematics in the B5 sections are actual CG renders, not line-drawings. There is a difference.

Q. Where did the names come from on these vessels?
A. Most of the names were taken from what I've seen of the movies and videos. Others came from the Babylon Five Security Manual, the TV Show and other web pages out there.

Q. Do you have deck plans, specifications, or close-ups of the bridges of each ship?
A. No. The only things I have in this database are general outboard designs. Nothing specific such as bridge or deck layout. I had long considered including some specifications for each ship in the database, but decided against it, as it would have required too much extra research (which I, quite frankly, don't have the time to do).

Q. What is your definition of "Official"?
A. Generally speaking, I consider "Official" to be any ship mentioned or, more especially, physically appearing in a Babylon Five episode or movie.
