Help with Babylon 5 Mod please

Ok. im quite new to Babylon 5, but a friend has got me into it and i think this mod is great. The ships are so cool. But i keep having problems with this mod! im not so clever with computers so i've come to you guys for help. now the main problem is that when i play with the shadows, i start without the ability to build new ships. no hulls at all! the only ships i can use are the constructor and colony ship at the beginning. in fact i can build only those, and freighters later on, until i research xeno ethics and become evil. i dont seem to start off with the shadow hull tech. although when im creating a new game and i select the shadows, it does say that im supposed to start with shadow hulls available.
Usually when you go into to the shipyard and go on 'new' a list of available hulls comes up. (at the beginning that would be just small, tiny, and cargo). but i get nothing at all. it is completrly blank. i can go on 'extras' and 'engines' and the other tabs just fine. but 'hulls' is completely blank, so it is impossible for me to create new ships! i know that my friend, who loves babylon 5, is also having this problem, so i believe it is the mod that is the issue, and not something i have done accidentally.
Another thing i've noticed is that i never seem to come across any minor races at all. even on gigantic maps, having made sure that minor races aren't disabled. is this another problem with the mod?
im stuck on what to do, so i was wondering if it was at all possible for someone to help me? i would really appreiciate it. thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

The number of minors that spawn is annoyingly random but I find I usually get about four on a gigantic map. There doesn't seem to be anything I can do to encourage the game to spawn more minors.

As for the Shadow and Vorlon hulls...

Try extracting this file and putting the logistics.xml in your ...\GalCiv2\Mods\Babylon5-03a\Data\Techs\ folder. When you start a new game and get to the race config screen, be sure to press 'clear' and the hulls should now work.

Hope ths helps

aha! it worked! thank you so much, now i can play properly as the shadows and kick ass!
There was already a file called logistics.xml in there so i had to rename the one you gave me, but it's worked perfectly.
So i guess im not the only one having this problem with the mod? and yes, it's a shame about the minor races, i was looking forward to meeting some of them that were supposed to be in it.
