Well your idea sounds interesting too although most certainly it's also a bit more difficult to do as imo a Ranger is more of a covert ops / close combat fighter. Might be a bit difficult to create a combat system around that Minbari staff for example while at the same time make it believable against enemies with guns - this is something that's solved way more easily in the movies than in a game...

That's also why I still prefer the idea of a security officer because it's simpler gameplay wise (as you just use guns) and B5 should give you enough room to explore with a lot interesting stuff to see. Creating a serious story during the shadow war also should be a difficult task because imo there's not much room for what a single entity can do in that setting but well - perhaps you manage to come up with some good ideas...

Enjoy your meal
