It's not out yet that I am aware. The B5 Project role-playing game was
*just*
released today (but does *not* include Jon Tuffley's ship combat rules
that I
could find; are these being released in the EarthForce Sourcebook???
Jon?)

The only stuff I have seen of the B5Wars game was the playtest package
material, so not sure what changes have occurred since the playtest
sessions. Be forewarned: it is more complicated than Full Thrust, but
not as bad as SFB.  ;-)  Bit more complicated than Battletech, but you
can *do* things with your ship(s) (such as roll maneuvers, pivots, etc).
I've yet to get any of my 'Mechs to do a leaping somersault...
