	:My feeling is that we should deprecate KEW out as we have "humano-Cylon", where we have redirects but don't use it actively. We got rid of KEW since it was too fanciful for a descriptive term where a simple "weapons" or battery would suffice. --[[User:Spencerian\|Spencerian]] 11:26, 22 May 2007 (CDT)		:My feeling is that we should deprecate KEW out as we have "humano-Cylon", where we have redirects but don't use it actively.

	::A battery is a collection of guns acting as one. It's not correct to refer to all ship-based projectile weapons as batteries. Namely the Viper cannons. If we got rid of it, we could distinguish there and say "gun batteries" for battlestars and "cannons" or even "autocannons" for fighters. But I really have nothing against the term per se. It was just easier to have one weapon article for everything (including missiles) --[[User:Serenity\|Serenity]] 11:55, 22 May 2007 (CDT)		::A battery is a collection of guns acting as one.

The term "KEW" is still extensively used in the ship templates to list armaments, and I think it's convenient catch-all phrase there. --[[User:Serenity\|Serenity]] 11:55, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
