I don't think the Drazi ever won anything.

Win none, lose all would be better for them.

I understand the design elements behind it... it just looks too much like a sun fish...

As for the Vree - they're just saucers. Nothing overly special to me, there...

Well, strictly based on the performance of each ship on screen, the Shadow Ship, Minbari Cruiser, Omega Destroyer, White Star and Vorchan are pretty much the only ships that are good... cause they're the only ones that kill things with impunity...

I think the Vree saucers were a good ship because they 1) fit the design kinda ethic they were meant two and 2) stick consistant with the Vree/Roswell Alien explanation thing.

Although the Brakiri ship did look like a sunfish, that i will admit.

The Brakiri ship just looks like bad engineering.

Now the Sharlin, personally, is a good design plus it looks good. in my opinion.

The sail-like parts give the thing a large target profile, though.

Only from a flank. Fore and Aft, the Sharlin is thin as can be.

Quite true, but it's also easier to hit a target closing or moving away. :P

Not if their stealth tech means you're firing manually and can only target by visual. :P

Only part of the way through but I really like the B5 design. The b4 wasn't bad either.

None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.
