Also, to be fair, while I agree the first half dozen eps have been very
quiet, remember that the first 8 eps of season 2 were pretty much
sleepers
(well, they were for me at the time!), a number of early season 1 eps
were
very low-key, as well as half of the first half of season 3 eps.

Heh. But JMS didn't write that one.  ;-)

Now, to drag this thing kicking and screaming back on-topic, I was
thinking
that a while back when Scott Field was on the list he ran a PBeM game
which
used a system he called a 'mini-missile'. Basically it was a half-sized
MT
Missile (Mass 1, did 1d6 damage, 2 turns endurance). Would something
like
that be feasible for giving the Minbari missiles, or should it just not
be
worried about and let them be for what it are? I'm up for leaving them
be,
letting them have their little wimpy HBWs (well, 'little wimpy' compared
to,
oh, say, a Vorlon or Shadow HBW :)
