Ships new to Discovery
The list of ships that are new in Discovery certainly does not belong into the Ships category as descriptive text.
If you look at the pages Fighters, Freighters, etc., you'll notice that they are split into stock and Discovery lists. Each ship new to discovery that has a page will have the 'Discovery content' Category set. I think that this list should be merged into those ship types pages.

I certainly agree. That's why the list is temporary. It might help us to determine what pages are yet to be made for the ships. I do think that we need this list somewhere but don't know yet where to put it. It doesn't seem to fit any of the current locations. The problem with not having the list is that new players dont know what IS the new ships. The Discovery Content category will have all ships as all ships have been changed in some way (for example the Defender - the only thing that has changed is the selling location - effectively the same ship as in Vanilla FL. --Chovynz 11:19, 19 May 2008 (GMT)
I think that the turret on the Discovery Defender is class 2 instead of class 4, actually. But I'm not dure and I don't currently have the chance to check it.
If you think that it's important and you don't think that it's viable to check the 5 Ship categories pages (fighters, freighters, transports, bombers, capital ships) - which are split by discovery/original freelancer already - then we could make a page for that. Might be a bit overkill, though.

Template Format
Saved for reference. Might be substituting. Depends on whether I can get the ship template working properly so that other people just put stuff in, instead of formulas. Use Edit
{ {Ship |SellName=Crusader |FullName= |Description=Known as the "crown royale" of the heavy fighter class, the Crusader is the cornerstone of the military and civilian authorities of Bretonia. Used largly to enforce the will of the crown, this ship is designed at it's core to deliver as significant a beating as it is able to withstand. Thus, the Crusader is an optimal choice for its survivability and also its offensive capabilities. |Class=Heavy Fighter |ClassLink=Fighters#Heavy_Fighters_2 |Guns=6 |Turrets=0 |Armor=2600 |Cargo=35 |Batts=20 |Bots=20 |OptWep=3 |MaxWep=5 |MaxShield= |Price= |Level= |Equip=Mines, Countermeasures, Cruise Disruptors / Torpedos |PlaceSold=Battleship Norfolk, Cambridge System |WeaponSlot1= |WeaponSlot2= |WeaponSlot3= |WeaponSlot4= |WeaponSlot5= |WeaponSlot6= |WeaponSlot7= |WeaponSlot8= |WeaponSlot9=

Minor edits
Please only set the minor edit flag for your edits when they are indeed minor, for example if you just fixed a link, added a link without changing the text, fixed typos / spelling / grammar etc..
If you add or delete something, please do not set the minor edit flag, that's misleading.

- Thanks. I wasn't sure. I presume you're talking about the "Is anyone getting lag?" bit in ooRP?
- --Chovynz 11:58, 19 May 2008 (GMT)
- I meant the list of discovery ships, where you marked the remove on the new ships page as minor (>1200 characters difference, though).
- Nodwick 12:05, 19 May 2008 (GMT)
How do I change the titles of pages? For example:
- Class 4 weapons becomes
- Class 4 Weapons

Yay! I'm really looking forward to this, will make the Wiki much more valuable in my eyes. Will you make the CSV page in the formatting like the Defender?
While you're at it, maybe you can rework the Crusader and Rogue Gunboat pages? Those are in a different format and dead-end pages.

- Defender is the one to copy I take it? Chovynz 08:59, 21 May 2008 (GMT)
- Well, you can also take Liberty Gunboat if you want. But I suggest using the one that's closest to the CSV in terms of statistics - the Defender is closer than the Gunboat, that's for sure. Nodwick 09:50, 21 May 2008 (GMT)

Does it really need to have:
- Planet Manhattan, New York System, Liberty
Or can it just have:
- Planet Manhattan
