These are

The Reynolds Consortium has a smattering of overhauled/redesigned
second-hand ESU and NAC vessels (the NACs modified to eliminate the
brittle "neck", which makes them look a *lot* more like the ESU vessels;
I wonder if that's deliberate?). But the bulk of the (admittedly, small)
RC fleet consists of saucers, up to a mass-250 (or so, don't remember
off-hand) fleet carrier. And we expect to commission two new classes
soon: a pair of BDN (B5Wars BW-274 "Vree Xorr War Saucer") and an SDN
(B5Wars BW-273 "Xree Xill Battle Saucer"). (The minis are a bit
pricey, but the available non-Star Trek saucers are limited; the
fleet is mostly scratch-built from buttons and such.)
   Also under development: a new heavily-armored SDN class (old
Traveller "triangular brick" research vessel minis, slightly
modified).
 
Fleet colors: Metallic copper-brown, gold highlights.
 
I like the looks of most of the ESU and NSL ships, and intend to
eventually accumulate a full fleet of each. And I'll probably
assemble a fleet of the Sa'vasku ships when the full range is
available.
 
Unfortunately, I haven't had enough opportunities to play to
decide what weapons mix, speed, and/or tactics I prefer.
(Translation: I haven't played enough to not lose. ;-) )
