Are the rookie ships listed anywhere?--Btek 11:33, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Nope, because they were not imported from the automatic Item Database dump. And I cannot edit the Item Database dump page. I'll at least add a line at the bottom. I don't know what else is needed on this page though, or why it's labeled incomplete.--Kismeteer 23:27, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Stat List?

Good posts so far for the Ship Tab. I'm putting together a breakdown of each ship statistic. Would it be valuable to post here directly or post in its own area and link to it? Each stat could warrant their own page discussing the math and skills that affect given stats.

The broad post will focus on a brief description of the stat and which is better, smaller number or larger number. Maybe list ships with a notable stat values so pilots can see an in game example of that stat in use.

I think it's own page would be excellent. I have a feeling this page will be going away at some point, plus the item database stuff is wonky on a GOOD day. You could make a Cruiser_(Fitting) page, similar to the project they have going so far making individual pages such as Raven_(Fitting), maybe? Or would this be more 'you need these stats for these ships, with this many lows, etc'? Or is this just a 'top speed of interceptors' and 'most mids'? You have an example of this work? --Kismeteer 21:39, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

I'll be adding the rest of the images I have either later tonight or tomorrow. I have pictures for most every ship, so we'll go from there I guess. --Cal Hydar 16:57, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

I have added all of the images I have. The ships missing in-game images are listed below:

I'll see if I can make some screenies and upload tomorrow. Except for the gold magnate, unfortunately I lack the means for that one ;P --ISD Salpsan 09:08, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
