I was kind of thinking Peacekeeper class for the big guy, and working
the
way down for the other classes.  Apparently the scout ships are
"Futurist"
class, but I think that Physician class, Composer class, Artist class,
etc., would be a good way to go.

Somehow, the natural features method just doesn't work for me.	It seems
a
little too...drab, I guess.  Not the actual ship names, but the
"Archipeligo class Frigate" plain doesn't work for me.

I'm not admitting to anything.	But everyone knows that the UN and
conspiracy theory go hand in hand in hand.  And wouldn't that new ship
look
really cool in black?

Oh, and according to Wired the B5 sim game is not yet dead.  It's
coughing
up blood, but it's still being shopped around.	Keep your fingers
crossed....
