Someone also redid all the ships from scratch I think in modern software and has to get rid of it due to WB.

I still think B5 ships are some of the best in all of Scifi.

I'm a big fan of the Vorlon ships, but I think The Expanse has the best space battles.

(I also like the Lexx spaceship, though the series was somewhat of a mess)

Expanse battles were far more realistic of course. The B5 Star Fury combat scenes were pretty ground breaking for the time though.

Expanse ships (at least where I'm at in the book series and show - kind of early) are a lot closer to current human tech of course. In B5 humanity had tech that was mostly believable (still used rotating mass for gravity), but you got to see some very unique looking ships from the other species like the Minbari and Shadows that truly looked alien and unsettling.

Back in the day, I was proud of how they'd used Amigas to render the B5 graphics as I also was an Amiga user.
