S'okay. We'll be sure to correct any inaccuracies.  ;-)

THey really only have 2 weapons, like the Narn ftr.

My take on them is that they're heavy, and not any faster than 'Furies.

Centuari fighters, on the other hand... (too bad Galoob didn't make
any micros of them, too...I won't lament about Galoob not making any
more B5 figs at all...hey, wait...maybe when the movies come out..??)

Yeah, close enough.  ;-)

You might consider either making them heavy, or giving them
some 'armor' (I'd go with the 'armor'). Q: why do you give
it an extra FC?

If I can get some time.  :-/

Nice job on the overall rules, though. Look interesting.
