Talk:Pilots

Lets make a nice sub-category in the Commodities category. I put RH pilot just as an example here. Fitting those icons will be a problem. A single picture or multiple icons on a same line? I vote for the line. --Looqas 07:05, 19 September 2008 (GMT)

Table

What about a simple table with 3 cols: Name, Description, Image?

Better Idea: we could use a the gallery feature! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Picture_tutorial#Photo_gallery --0815fips 14:07, 05 November 2008 (GMT+1)

I like the table. If you are upto it you can start with it. However I WOULD ONLY MAKE THE DRAFT TABLE since pilot icons will be changed in 4.85! What I mean that it's good to think about and do the table now, but do not waste your time putting all the pilot icons in it. Maybe 2-3 and you can reuse the image it. The text will not change or the name of the pilots, just the icons. --Looqas 01:05, 6 November 2008 (MST)

Like this? I think we should create footnotes below each table containing the description of the pilots.

  Red Hessian Pilot
  Anyone who returns Red Hessian pilots to a Hessian base is well compensated. But Bounty Hunters, Corsairs and Rheinland authorities pay even more to get their hand on any Hessian pilot.

  Bounty Hunter Piot
  Criminals hate police and navy, but hate bounty hunters even more. Pirate bases always offer good rewards for captured hunters. Tortures and most painful death await them.

BTW, can you help me fixing the note template? As far I can see it's not working. :-) --0815fips 13:35, 06 November 2008 (GMT+1)

Looks good. I'm sorry but I don't know how to fix it. Maybe blodo or Chonvynz knows. --Looqas 11:40, 6 November 2008 (MST)

What about the below? (Though I can see why you want to use the Gallery.) The below is simple.. effective.. it shrinks for thinner screens (the gallery doesn't - it's fixed width only), it's alphabetazisable (fill in more reasoning why we should use my method ;) :P ) Chovynz 13:20, 6 November 2008 (MST)

Pilot	Description
Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination	Red Hessian Pilot Anyone who returns Red Hessian pilots to a Hessian base is well compensated. But Bounty Hunters, Corsairs and Rheinland authorities pay even more to get their hand on any Hessian pilot.
Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination	Bounty Hunter Piot Criminals hate police and navy, but hate bounty hunters even more. Pirate bases always offer good rewards for captured hunters. Tortures and most painful death await them.
Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination	All pirate spaceships are equipped with standard eject mechanisms. When pirate loses a fight, the pilot automatically ejects right before ship explosion. Then winner might pick up the unlucky foe - or let him or her die in open space. Pirates will pay good money to get their captured brethren back, but bounty hunters may pay even more.
Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination	Bretonian Armed Forces Elite Attention! Every pilot who finds an eject pod of a navy ship must tractor it and bring to the nearest police or military base. Pilots who refuse to give out navy pilots when scanned will be treated as criminals.

There's also this way: -Chovynz 15:00, 6 November 2008 (MST)

I really like your last suggestion! Slim, sortable, clear arranged, perfect! --0815fips 13:15, 07 November 2008 (GMT+1)
