QQ will have forum downtime on October 21, starting at 10:00 AM Eastern time, for software updates.
Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
No, the Minbari's "stealth" as they misname it in the show was always depicted as an active system that could get turned on or off. aka a Jammer field.

The only thing the RPG did was explain how the fuck the system worked, because the show kept it as just...
Lets see...
Camera Drones.... wouldn't work because of the Jammers will still distort their sensors.
Nuclear mines... shoot the mines at ranges where the dust does nothing(which are normal combat ranges of around 10.000 km)
Telepathic scan... would actually work, at least in Hyperspace which...
Take that claim of being able to lock onto Minbari ships with more than a few grains of salt and political postering. As for the Omega being better.... Sure. It's faster, tougher and better armed than any Earth Force ship before it, carries more fighters than anything short of a Poseidon class...
Unfortunately, the species that filled the "role" of the Vulcans and introduced Earth to the stars.... was the Centauri. And while Earth got things like Jump Engines/Jump Gate technology, tachyon communications, and examples of galactic standard technology in everything from drive systems...
Beyond the very small chance that the only Minbari in Geneva(if not on the planet) isn't being watched like a hawk and the conversation being recorded by any number of different ways, this will certainly make its way up the EA government and Earth Force. An apparently plausible explanation for...
Every surviving officer knew damn well where they stood compared to the Minbari. Which is the caveat, surviving officer.
After the Minbari War, Earth Force was gutted. The military that fought and defeated the Dilgar was gone, and Earth Force had to train and employ inexperience new blood to...
Nope. In fact the last war the Minbari fought was only a few centuries ago. Back when the Centauri were first starting to expand and forge their empire, they had an early rival called the Garmak who were just as aggressive and expansionist as the Centauri. Then the Garmak made the mistake of...
Also, in the RPGs a... quirk of Minbari neurology is that emotional memory doesn't fade for them like it normally would for humans. To a Minbari, the emotions they felt when they first learned that Dukhat had been killed by a human starship are just as potent now ten years later when they think...
No, all we know is that they beat the Goa'uld that was enslaving the Hebridans. We don't know how they did it or any specifics. Did they use special forces shenanigans like the SGC? Did they use overwhelming numbers? It's not likely that they had weapons on par with Tollan Ion Cannons...
Neither the Hebridans nor the Aschen could construct weaponry that could trivially destroy Goa'uld Hat'ak(at least before Anubis upgraded their shields). That was specifically why the Aschen used a bio-weapon against the Goa’uld in the original timeline.
Nor were they shown with phasing...
You know, the Drakh themselves actually have psionic abilities of their own, though they manifest differently than how human or minbari telepaths do. While they are all connected to a type of hive mind called the Drakh Entire, their ability to perceive the thoughts of beings outside said...
The Shadows don't actually. While all the First Ones like Hyperspace because they are all advanced enough to fuck with it to a similar manner to the Forerunners and Slipspace, the Shadows are the undisputed masters of Hyperspace. They can even warp Hyperspace into wormholes.
You might be...
And I bet that that fact still burns the Oreni to this day.

The EA factbook has an entire dice roll chart of psychic powers for telepaths. Examples include psychic healing, ghost projection, psychic shields, and psychic luck.
As for telekinetics, P4...
One, that's 400,000 years, not 80,000(where did you even get that number?). Second, I wouldn't really say half of Asia as that implies a much wider spread than we have evidence for Neanderthals. Unless you are including Denisovans with Neanderthal populations in that statement.
