Something I've been thinking about...
Most of the other races have various sizes and types of ships. However,
we've only seen one capital design for the Minbari. What if they just
use the same design, but scale it up?
That way, you could have a Minbari Dreadnought that was 1/3rd the length
of B5, and smaller cruisers that are 300m long.
Another benefit of at least external similarity would be in combination
with ECM and cloaking technologies... How far away are the ships? Is
it a carrier or a battleship? &c...
Just hypothetical, of course.
