Have I missed any important ones?
I believe the unit "u" that we've been using for ship power cores and energy requirements should be included, as it makes energy amounts easier to work with than an unitless number on ship pages when you need to show energy usage per unit of time. I personally don't think "u" should be used in any other context, though, just like we do it now - it doesn't add any extra informational value by itself. - Space (talk) 20:28, 18 November 2012 (CET)
