Hmmm. I'll grant that... but it probably should be acknowledged, at least 
on the B5 side. Perhaps something like this:

[munch]  Have already done so.  You are right: *some* mention should be 
made of the size of the ships and B5's problems with moving them.
 

And previous stories can be found at FTP.STD.COM (plug, plug)

All right, all right... plug accepted. :) What are the titles?

All of them are under the "Protoculture War" umbrella.  There should be:
         Children Of The Light, Children Of The Shadow
         Children Of Zor, Children Of Haydon (partial)
         Children Of Hope, Children Of Despair (partial)
         RoboTrek
         Robylon-5
         Alternate Points Of View: Thallin Braywater.

If they aren't there (for some reason), then I have a copy on-line on my 
PC here.
 

Hmm. I admit my major exposure to Robotech is the McKinney novels, and 
I've already seen that most people here don't consider them canonical. 
^_^ Certainly they're presented in the novels as not being able to repair 
the ships themselves... but if they have been "tainted" by contact with 
humans, I'd expect them to pick up at least the desire to repair, if only 
so they can fight longer. ;> I just find it hard to accept they'd put 
themselves at such a disadvantage so easily; I'd expect them to fight to 
the last minute to save the ship, since losing it puts them at someone 
else's mercy.

Zents have always been able to repair their ships to a certain degree - 
even if it is only swap-and-plug. (Breetai's control screen being an 
example in point).  It just seems that *major* repairs are left alone 
until a base can be reached.

And these Zentraedi have a secret agenda anyway.  ^_^

I might have to change all that.

Might not be a bad idea -- at the least, you could set it earlier in the 
story, when Londo was still a more-or-less comical figure, not the dark 
figure we see after "Coming of Shadows."

Nope.  I need it set where it is...  Damn... yet another section to 
modify.
