It looked like a freighter or transport type ship similar to what we've
seen before. Compare it to some background shots of other ships (gonna
have to watch a *lot* of B5 to do that, though ;-).  Warships on B5 have
been pretty obvious for the most part (well, to me, imo, anyway :)

Mike Wikan drummed up some FT rules to use for piggybacking fighters
on ships (like external grapples or something). You can prolly find
them in the archives, maybe on Mark Seifert's FT page, or convince
Mike to post 'em again!  ;-)
