Alphabetization

If nobody objects, I think I'm goign to alphabetize the list of ships here in the next week or so. There's nothing wrong with how it is now, except that it looks a little chaotic.

Also - when do we think it's safe to integrate the "Lay Down Your Burdens" ships (seen only on the voting board) with the rest of the ships? Now? A few months? Begining of S3? I'm interested to hear any opinions. Brecchie 20:43, 6 April 2006 (CDT)

I think it's OK as long as there's reference to them only seen on the voting board in LYBD2. -StrayCat0 19:12, 6 April 2006 (PST)

Alphabetization vs. Ship type sorting

I think we should revert to sorting these alphabetically, rather than by ship type, because users searching for a ship they hear mentioned might not know what type of ship it is. Alphabetical would be more useful. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 21:17, 11 May 2006 (CDT)

Well, I was always looking at it in abject confusion as I tried to sort out which ships originated from scifi.com, and which were their aired equivalents (Celestra vs. Striker, Flattop vs. Virgon Express). It was especially difficult to navigate with all the mentioned-only ships from LDYB2 floating around in and among the more relevant entries. --Peter Farago 22:37, 11 May 2006 (CDT)

I am still uncertain. Regardless, much will be sorted out when the Season 2.5 DVD's arrive. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 23:01, 11 May 2006 (CDT)

As high as 90

Possible Fleet Pics

group, jump, movers, galactica park, side fleet.

Here are some possible shots for this article, including one suggested by Spencerian over at Galactica (RDM)'s discussion page. All obtained from Galacticastation, so we'd need to either upload them as is, or capture them in an alternative format if more quality is needed. --Steelviper 13:46, 12 June 2006 (CDT)

I put up the one fleet pic we have highlighting the enterprise. Perhaps Ford can grab a few decent HD shots --Mercifull 14:33, 12 June 2006 (CDT)

Didn't you also wipe out the list of mentioned ships and all the demographics stuff? --Steelviper 14:37, 12 June 2006 (CDT)

wth?, my pc is cutting off stuff when i go to edit. Seems to just cut off stuff past a certain number of characters. I'll restart. --Mercifull 15:00, 12 June 2006 (CDT)

Well that was weird? Seems to have fixed it now. --Mercifull 15:03, 12 June 2006 (CDT)

Ships seen in "LDYB"

With the release of the DVDs, it is easier for us to determine what the names of the ships are. However, with this arises the concern of having microstubs on ships. If it is all right with everyone, I think it might be best to create a "List of Fleet ships (RDM)" for those ships that we've seen on the tally boards on LDYB, and have the names of the ships as redirects to said article. Thoughts? -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 17:00, 1 October 2006 (CDT)

Sounds good to me. If a ship becomes more important in the future, and article can be done and redirected to it. --FrankieG 17:28, 1 October 2006 (CDT)

Doesn't this article already serve that purpose? --Peter Farago 17:53, 1 October 2006 (CDT)

True. What I'm trying to see is whether or not the microstubs would be best turned into redirects to a list of ships, of which we know next to nothing about, such as those from LYDB. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 17:55, 1 October 2006 (CDT)

Shouldn't we have some side page for them because their could be other names we missed. CoreyDanian

I think we could simply have all these ships that we don't know anything about redirect to this page. I don't think that a separate List Of Ships page is necessary as it seems to me as redundant. --Straycat0 20:05, 3 October 2006 (AST)
