Babylon 5 Minbari Fighter ("Nial" aka "Windstar" Class)

This world contains a Minbari “Nial” class fighter from the Babylon 5 television Series ready to be copy/pasted into your own worlds.

Like all of my Babylon 5 models this ship was designed to be as close to the original as possible while still being practical/useable in-game in Space Engineers. Thus it should be roughly to scale with the other B-5 ships in my workshop (which should all be *roughly* to scale). It also means that this ship is connected up with conveyors/etc complete with connecter for landing/resupply from a larger ship or base.

This ship is armed with 6 gatling guns (since the Minbari tended to use more cutting style weapons than explosive weapons I decided this was more accurate but of course you can modify it to meet your needs) as well as 3 ejectors which are set up to eject stones/other debris as a sort of electronic-warfare suite to distract enemy auto-turrets). It's main power source can be found in the form of multiple batteries, though it does have a single small reactor meant to act as an emergency backup/means to (slowly) recharge spent batteries if the ship is stranded in the field for an extended time).
I have separated the batteries into 2 groups in the control panel so that you can have one group charging off of the backup reactor while the other group is powering the fighter and then easily switch the two as needed.

I may make some small changes to this fighter in the future; I am not sure that the paint scheme is quite right and I will likely toy with that some but since a Minbari ship was specially requested by one of my subscribers I wanted to go on and post this before I have to leave town for the weekend. (if someone figures out a more accurate paint scheme please share it with me since I've had some trouble settling on one). Additionally, in the future I may add a version of this fighter to this world with some extendable landing legs (such as seen in B-5 season 5, Episode 15 “Darkness Ascending”) if there is any interest -I have a build with those included at present but since pistons are still unstable I decided not to upload that particular build unless there is some interest from subscribers to this workshop item.

As always I hope you enjoy and I would love to hear your feedback on it.
