Template talk:Ship Data

Good idea, very useful. --Mercifull 05:36, 8 April 2006 (CDT)

Found a good place to use it. That template or table that was used for the Heavy Radier was.. well.. ugly. :) --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 05:41, 8 April 2006 (CDT)

I changed "function" to "role", and "side" to "race" (Pegasus and Galactica weren't exactly on the same "side", once upon a time). I made direct substitutions in the template, but now the boxes are showing up wrong. Why?--The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 12:57, 8 April 2006 (CDT)

Nevermind, I figured it out.--The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 12:58, 8 April 2006 (CDT)

I don't really like "Race" here. Any other ideas? Nationality, maybe? --Peter Farago 14:18, 8 April 2006 (CDT)

Well it's better than "side". I used it as a placeholder. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 14:30, 8 April 2006 (CDT)

Okay, so any other ideas? I think "nationality" is easily more appropriate than "race", even if it's still not great. --Peter Farago 15:25, 8 April 2006 (CDT)

How can an inanmite object have a race? When we say F/A-18 we say side, U.S. --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 15:27, 8 April 2006 (CDT)

Shane...did you research this? I check and no ship, airplane like the F/A-18, or anything on wikipedia or MemoryAlpha supports that "we" say "side". It's the "race" that it belongs to. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 15:32, 8 April 2006 (CDT)

"Side" just sounds clunky to me. --Peter Farago 15:29, 8 April 2006 (CDT)

I could hjave used another word, but when doing design, you want it to be very simple. That's why I choose Side in the first place. Simple. --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 15:31, 8 April 2006 (CDT)

I appreciate that. I hope you also appreciate our attempts to refine the terminology. --Peter Farago 15:34, 8 April 2006 (CDT)

FTL Status -> FTL

Begin moved from Talk:Viper (RDM): I couldn't find this on the editing page so I'll just comment here. The word 'status' next to the FTL link seems awkward. Presence, maybe or just cut it. As in order to have a status, it would have to be present yes? Or is that there because someone is convinced they are onboard but not online? Dunno, just thought I should point out it seems unnecessary. -- Mazzy 13:41, 8 April 2006 (CDT) End moved

I concur and will make such an edit. --CalculatinAvatar 14:16, 8 April 2006 (CDT)
