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.

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.
+
Found the reason the Osiris wasn't showing up in the generator, shiparch.ini is missing <i>linear_drag</i> for it, which should be forwarded to the Devs as a bug. I'm assuming it to be 1 now, since it is 1 for all other ships. The tool you requested is now ready to use as well. (All types of content generation can now be found at [http://www.cshake.homeip.net/flwiki/ http://www.cshake.homeip.net/flwiki/], I set up a selection redirect page there. If you could update the sidebar that would be cool.) -[[User:Cshake|cshake]] 23:11, 3 October 2009 (MDT)

For most of the ships there, the forum thread [http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=29702 HQ Smooth Renders] has a good .png version. Should we wait until .png support is available on the wiki, or maybe convert them to a 'standard' size .jpg with a 'standard' background color and updated the images?

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..

Ok, so it seems that with the new version, class 1 guns are now bomber torpedoes, while hp_torpedo_special_1 is still non-bomber torpedoes. We're gonna need a change of the ship template to accommodate different types of torps, and somehow indicate the difference in the CD/T section.

===Specific questions:===
 +
# [[Class 1 Guns]] are now Bomber-specific torpedoes, and [[Torpedoes]] are now Fighter-specific. I think this warrants a change of name for both pages.
 +
# [[Class 6 Guns]] are still guns, but are bomber-specific. [[Class 6 Turrets]] are the turret counterparts now. I've added comments about these two changes on the [[Ship Equipment]] page. I don't think that these warrant a change of page name.
 +
# For my ship generator, I'm counting the number of hardpoints that can mount either type of torpedo, and putting that in the CD/T template line. The CD line, as before, is filled with the number of hardpoints that can only mount CDs. To distinguish between the cases, I added the torpedo mount point to the Hardpoints list in the page, with each saying what it can mount.
 +
# Because of item #1, I want to know what the links for those hardpoints should point to, if the page names are changing.
 +
# If we are going to change the names of the torpedo pages, I figure we might as well add a new page for Gunboat and Cruiser forward guns while we're at it. This would also mean changing the links in my generator, which is why I'm waiting on input from you before giving the go-ahead for using the generator.

I had some time this morning, so I decided to code the individual weapon pages generator.

Welcome to my Wiki talk page . Here you'll see conversations, discussions and various other guff. Feel free to leave comments or suggestions or replies! Complaints, concerns and friendly abuse are all welcome. Call me a Marshmellow and I'll stick pins in your sandals though.

If there is a specific topic you want to talk about, and it isn't already on here, then "make a new section".

Generator

I'm just waiting for input on three things for the ships page:

  1. Is the name displayed over the image correct, or what should I change?
  2. Do you approve of the added "Purchase Includes" section?
  3. What page[s] should Gunboat and Cruiser forward turrets link to?
Thanks! -cshake 20:44, 1 October 2009 (MDT)

Found the reason the Osiris wasn't showing up in the generator, shiparch.ini is missing linear_drag for it, which should be forwarded to the Devs as a bug. I'm assuming it to be 1 now, since it is 1 for all other ships. The tool you requested is now ready to use as well. (All types of content generation can now be found at http://www.cshake.homeip.net/flwiki/, I set up a selection redirect page there. If you could update the sidebar that would be cool.) -cshake 23:11, 3 October 2009 (MDT)

Images to be replaced

For most of the ships there, the forum thread HQ Smooth Renders has a good .png version. Should we wait until .png support is available on the wiki, or maybe convert them to a 'standard' size .jpg with a 'standard' background color and updated the images? -cshake 20:47, 1 October 2009 (MDT)

Battlestar II

Page will need to get updated by you, since you know what you want to do exactly. "Skatepro0 19:35, 3 October 2009 (MDT)"

New Mod Changes

Ok, so it seems that with the new version, class 1 guns are now bomber torpedoes, while hp_torpedo_special_1 is still non-bomber torpedoes. We're gonna need a change of the ship template to accommodate different types of torps, and somehow indicate the difference in the CD/T section. -cshake 21:38, 4 October 2009 (MDT)

Specific questions:

  1. Class 1 Guns are now Bomber-specific torpedoes, and Torpedoes are now Fighter-specific. I think this warrants a change of name for both pages.
  2. Class 6 Guns are still guns, but are bomber-specific. Class 6 Turrets are the turret counterparts now. I've added comments about these two changes on the Ship Equipment page. I don't think that these warrant a change of page name.
  3. For my ship generator, I'm counting the number of hardpoints that can mount either type of torpedo, and putting that in the CD/T template line. The CD line, as before, is filled with the number of hardpoints that can only mount CDs. To distinguish between the cases, I added the torpedo mount point to the Hardpoints list in the page, with each saying what it can mount.
  4. Because of item #1, I want to know what the links for those hardpoints should point to, if the page names are changing.
  5. If we are going to change the names of the torpedo pages, I figure we might as well add a new page for Gunboat and Cruiser forward guns while we're at it. This would also mean changing the links in my generator, which is why I'm waiting on input from you before giving the go-ahead for using the generator.
