As I said on the site, somewhere, it just started out as a (quick!!) exercise in learning a bit about web design and was going to follow a pretty standard format to the fan sites I was looking at for ideas.
But that went out the window when it dawned on me that there was not a lot of information kicking around on basically who did what as far as the ship designs go – hopefully some folks will find some of it interesting/useful.

Take your point about changing the “archive” button, you’re the first to mention it, but like many who spend time on something, I forgot it might not be so obvious to others <slaps wrist>.
The transition from the front screen to the archive (ship) screen should only take around 5 seconds with a mention of Tim Choate (Zathras) in the middle of it – if your not seeing that let me know. Now this is interesting because you’re the second person to mention this timing thing. I’m starting to wonder if it being screwed up a bit somewhere in different browser versions.
Can’t do downloads, I’m not hosting it, those that are, won’t do it.
The little green buttons on the bottom left are there to display images and (deliberately very basic) plans of the ships. That’s why their marked Plans and Images. Your saying that the images don’t match the ship model being displayed. Now that is interesting. Between the various forums I’ve had this on, I’ve had around 70 responses so far and this is a first. Can you be more specific, i.e. what is the model being displayed, and what ship images or plans are coming up.
The other thing is, in case your wondering, this is only the ship page of a larger B5 “fan” site, the other pages haven’t been “updated” but are still there in the original format, and include an episode guide with around 1,000 images and a “race” page, all pretty basic but part of the original “package”.
[Edit]
The “merzo” site you mentioned is something I found a while back, an interestingly detailed, but (I suspect) ultimately flawed approach as it works on the assumption that the size of the ships is set and never changes. Which is fine if “official” detailed figures are released, but doesn’t works so well when the dimensions are based on comparative observations. Not only because it’s rough, but ship sizes in many shows, including B5 can change from scene to scene………….…. Quite a bit.
