Roger -
 Not having seen the US copies yet, I don't know if these are UK errors
or
things CE/WF left out when they did the ship sheets. I've checked back
to
the draft ship specs that Zeke sent me for approval a while back, and
the
Hyperion has 2 FCs but NO jump engine - AFAIK we've never seen one open
a
jump point of its own in the show, they use either fixed gates or come
thru
points opened by Omegas or other big stuff. Of course, given B5's track
record on this sort of stuff we'll probably see one make it's own jump
point next week, just to stuff the rules up.... :)  [Case in point: P.62
of
the EFSB says Omegas have 550 crew, then in "Endgame" they say 1000 per
ship - ho hum.....]

Jon.
