B5 rules - Long, not complete

@:) Well, I liked certain things about Geoffrey Stewart's B5 rules,

@:) looking at using right now for B5.

@:)  Special Maneouvres

@:) A sideslip maneouver sometimes allows a ship to retain its facing
@:) but move half its distance along a different facing.

  Looks like you've spent some time on this so you might not be
interested, but my group has had a great deal of success using a very
small modification of the FT rules for sideslips.  Namely, a ship can
make a standard FT-style turn but turn in different directions in each
step of the turn.  Works quite well.

@:) Minbari Fusion Beam Weapons

@:) [...]

@:) The Class 4 fusion beam has 4 dice in the first 12" and drops off
@:) one die per 12" to one die at 37 to 48".

  Probably you mean 36" to 48".  This has nothing to do with your
rules: it's just a nitpick of mine that people seem to like leaving
inch-wide gaps in their weapons ranges.

  Anyway I like these.	I will have to compare them with previous B5
rules but I may consider suggesting them for a new campaign that our
group may be starting in the near future.
