[B]Well... It's obvious to me that Vorlon Ships are males, and Shadow Ships are females... That's why the scream all the damn time...

And every 1,000 years, when their cycles sync up...
As for the Vorlon ship -- believe me, it ain't comic relief, in any sense
of the word. I've seen what it can do. And there *is* a utilitarian reason
behind its design. In addition, we want to show something VERY alien in
design and construction...and frankly, there's NO reason a ship that isn't
ever going to enter atmosphere needs to look aerodynamic. In time, you'd
move toward things that are visually or aesthetically interesting. In this
culture (Vorlon), art and science are closely allied, so this extension into
the look of their ships is quite natural. Concepts about what ships are have
become very rigid and inflexible thanks to the preponderance of SF-TV shows.
We want to loosen that up. And that look DOES, as stated, have a practical
aspect about it as well, which will be seen down the road.

Well...it can't be any more involved then Centuri with their tenticles! :D

Well, we already know how the White Stars do it.
See, the male is much smaller than the female, and consists of the bridge structure, while the female is the ship proper.
Or am I thinking of the Pak'ma'ra?

"Did you think these were decoration?"
[i]Birds do it, bees do it!
Even Biotechnological space-heaps do it!

Vorlon ships are the femals, and the shadow ships are part centauri... :D

What do you mean, next?

They do look really cool,.
