One interesting addition a friend of mine gave to the Centauri in his B5
Campaign rules based on the EFSB rules was giving the Centauri more
advanced Pulse Batteries than the younger races.  To represent their
more
advanced weapon technology, their Pulse Batteries ignore the first
range-band penalty, in effect increasing the ranges of their Pulse Batts
by
one range band and giving them a bigger punch at short range.  It makes
their vessels a bit scarier and more able to stand in the line with
other
races ships and balances things out a little more.
