I actually wouldn't read TOO much into the "WB stamp of approval" - both
B5W AND the EFSB are "approved" by WB, yet the ship specs are completely
different in many cases (they took their best guess, we took ours!).
Whether JMS ever sees any of this stuff personally I don't know, but I
suspect that WB pretty much rubber-stamp this kind of thing, perhaps
because they don't really understand gaming..... :-/
