Talk:Capital Ships

All finished with the cruiser section. Feel free to work on the Battleship section or Create a section for carriers. --Tazuras 12:05, 4 July 2009 (MDT)

I'm thinking that we should split battlecruisers rather than carriers- the Geb and the Liberty Assault Carrier are both "carriers" and yet are entirely different classes. Battlecruisers are a far better distinction, as they can be clearly picked out from their Battleship Turret hardpoints.

Please use the short names for ships as page names as covered here: Wiki Editing Rules --Tazuras 21:18, 6 July 2009 (MDT)

Alright, Im gonna do the Battleships now, so please dont edit that section for the time being. Thanks, --Tazuras 17:48, 7 July 2009 (MDT)

Update September 2009

I've changed the Hull Price to Full Price (Battleships and Cruisers still to do.) I vaguely remember a conversation I had with Tazuras about the hull price versus full price but I can't remember where it was, nor if it was in Skype. I did notice a difference of 5 million and $82250 and this sparked my memory. I think keeping things simple is best and as such I have used the "Package price" in Datastorm as the full price. There are changes of 20 million in some cases and for a new person that is quite a large difference. The hull price in the ini files is inappropriate to use for the main lists I believe.

Also I can't remember if the battleship Datastorm price includes the license or not. i.e. when you purchase the ship do you have to get a license individually yourself or does it come with the ship? Either some linking to the discussion on the wiki or dragging it from Skype would be good. ~Chovynz~ ^{(Blabs • Ego)} 15:52, 12 September 2009 (MDT)

Update October 2009

I've split up the Battleships from the Carriers. We still need Full price for the lists. I'll see if Chris can do this. ~Chovynz~ ^{(Blabs • Ego) (Wiki Admin)} 18:34, 2 October 2009 (MDT)

Actually, Heavy Carriers should be lumped in with Dreadnoughts and Battleships. The word "carrier" means nothing. Only the hardpoints are relevant. The Zephyr is a battleship like any other, while the Geb is a battlecruiser like any other. They do nothing to deserve their own category any more than "gunships" deserve to be split from "gunboats". Ships should be sorted by hardpoints and fighting class rather than whatever name was strapped onto them. </rant> I'm going to go fix it now. --Sovereign 22:38, 31 October 2009 (MDT)

Update July 2010

I added thruster/no thruster to the end of the bits on the battle crusiers, as it is a rather relevant imbalance to know of on that class. --Kashiwaba Tomoe 22:24, 20 July 2010 (MDT)

Thanks, hadn't thought of that. Seems quite useful. ~cshake ^{(talk) (sysop)} 21:41, 21 July 2010 (MDT)

Update January 2012

Planning on reverting the turrets in BC and Light Carrier category to simple numbers, not classes, due to 4.86 turret splits. Any objections? Champ 12:39, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
