I wouldn't read too much into things like this - though B5 is much
better
than Trek or most other shows for this kind of thing, it is still FAR
from
perfect - the dialogue often throws up minor stuff that is technically
weird. The CGI effects boys often seem to do their own thing as well,
especailly in battle scenes, which is why rating the ships for the game
was
so difficult (and so open to individual interpretation).
