Their tracking systems are not as bad as people think. Babylon 5 has tactical interceptor cannons and point defense weapons. They can hit a laser with a laser. Their tracking systems are pin point to do that. The only weakness is that they overheat fast. I don't think any torpedoes will get through. Also B5 uses slicer beams, Yeah it's like using a 250,000km long light saber in space. I personally don't believe Trek could out range B5 based on screen evidence. Trek ships are almost always close to their target when in battle. (no more than 5km)
On my mind: US's stock market is out of control. I could be a thousand'aire in the next few months O__O. It's getting very, very ugly. Can't those guys do anything right? I can't pull out, or more stock will fall. It may bounce back hopefully.
