Template

There is a nice looking well working ship Infobox template that is being used. If you find a ship without the template or add a new ship, please format the ship page using the template. Copy and paste below into the top of your Ship page and fill out the fields. The Description of the ship goes directly under this Infobox.Example of complete Ship Page.

Images

Images of ships are to be uploaded in .jpg format. If you don't know how to do this, please ask someone to do it for you, or contact someone who can do it. Blodo and Chovynz are two people who can. Image example specs:

• Odin (598 × 480 pixel, file size: 32 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)

To use an uploaded image simply copy the name of the uploaded image into the template:

Price and Ship Costs

There was found to be an awkward discrepancy between certain ship prices. To address this discrepancy we have followed this plan. On the main ship lists is the Hull only price. That is the bare minimum that you can buy a ship for, minus all equipment, shields, weapons, nanobots and shield batteries. On the individual pages of the ships, you will see two price fields, one for the Hull only, and one for the complete package. The full price can be found by using Datastorm or going in game and taking screenshots. The Hull price is found in the ini files or on the main ship lists. We suggest you just copy and paste from the main list. Please make sure both fields are completed wherever possible.

Headings

Most ships do not need many headings. Here are some suggested ones.

• Weapon Hardpoints - Describes in detail what type guns, turrets or weapons the ship has and how many.
• Handling - Describes the maneuverability and way the ship moves through space. See Odin for a good informative handling example.
• Availability - Shows where the ship is sold.
• Media - Used for any further pictures or other media of the ships, that are different to the ones in the Infobox. Odin currently has 3 pictures associated with it. First is the thumbnail - what you see when you first come to the Odin page. The thumbnail is generated automatically by Wiki when you upload an image. The second picture is the medium scale image that has been uploaded to the Discovery Mod Wiki. The third is a PNG file that has transparency. This image is not stored on the wiki in any way and is stored at an image hosting site - like Imageshack or Photobucket. This PNG file goes under the Media heading.

==Weapon Hardpoints==
* 1 [[Class 5 Turrets|Class 5 Turret]]
* 2 [[Class 9 Guns]]
* 4 [[Class 3 Guns]]

==Handling==
The Odin is thoroughly classified as a relatively large, although agile VHF. It's armour rating isn't 
especially high, and neither is it's power storage. When properly handled however...

==Availability==
* [[Freeport 9]], [[Omicron Theta]]
* [[Planet Manhattan]], [[New York System]], [[Liberty]]

Categories

Every ship should have a Category assigned to it. At the very minimum this one below should be included in the Categories. Civilian line of ships will have the Civilian Category included; Outcasts ships will have the Outcasts Category.
