The Whitestar. Sleek. Deadly. Among the most advanced, heavily armed, shielded, manueverable warships in the B5 universe.
Unfortunately, due to their high resemblence to a ''plucked chicken'' it seems jms is less inclined to use them more and more after season 4.
I think this a mistake. Of all the cap ships, the Whitestar, which had a tendency to scream in and out of battles at breakneck speeds, weaving tapestries of death and fire, provided one heck of a lot more adrenaline in the combat scenes than any other cap ship out there, with style.
So what do you think? Is indeed the Whitestar nothing more than a plucked chicken in space, long over due for a trip to the chopping block? Is it? Is it really?
If so, perhaps there is a future for a Whitestar Mark II, a corvette class warship pleasing to the eye at all angles, yes?

but it wouldn't have been Gideon since he was assigned after A Call To Arms and the ships had been in their first battle already. Now that design guy who tried to sabotage things...he may have been insecure about some...attributes.
