It looks nice. Ok, the ships were made largely even, ST ships don't show much shields, but still, it's very gorgeous and rival official stuff in many ways.
Just a pity that ranges and projectile speeds were just of the usual molasse variety of late.

What, you people act like you've never seen Star Wreck before? That's not the Connie, that's the Kalinka. And the reason there are no shields anywhere because sub-space physics work differently in the B5 verse when compared to the ST verse.

For those that don't know, the Star Wrek is a Finish fan parody of Star Trek, the video you found was from the film Star Wrek in the Pirkinning.

This was a sequel to their previous film, Lost Contact, which obviously parodied First Contact.

I agree with you on this one, Trin. I've seen this video before and even without shields, the Star Trek ships would curbstomp most of the B5 ships into the ground with a few well placed photon torpedoes. The torps are also shown moving way too slowly here as are most of the ST ships, and their yields are far too low compared to what they are hitting with the exception of the Victory class ship. Remember that in TNG's "Conundrum", a single photon torpedo was enough to destroy the Lysian Centeral Command space station, which is roughly the same size as the B5 station. Also there it has been stated in B5 that even the relatively advanced Minbari Sharlin class cruisers can be destroyed by a proximity blast from a pair of mere 2 megaton nuclear weapons (as per the flash back from "In the Begining").
