RPC's Ship Guide (Wiki)

[RPC]

Ok, I can't restructure due to namespaces being a PITA, so instead I'm going to do a ship-a-day thing and work on a Ship database.
Here is the first ship, which I think we all know and love <3.

Feel free to post any suggestions for ships and content.

I compiled GIF animations of all the ships in Transcendence a few months ago. Those might look good somewhere on the ship pages. The stat and equipment blocks might be easier to read if they were laid out in a table. And it would be nice to see the speed and maneuverability for all ships, not just player ships. Remember that maneuverability is twice as fast for 20 facing ships.

It'd also be nice to see which armor segments of enemy ships are non-critical, but that's kind of out there.

Those are just my thoughts. The way I see it, if you're willing to do the work, you can lay it out however you want.

Also, you have incorrect information listed on the player ship pages. The number of device slots listed on the ship choice screen is minus the devices already installed. So the freighter can support nine devices (2 weapons).

Show me what you mean, I'll integrate it.

How do you calculate maneuverability?

Working on it, I wanted to do something like this:

code:image of ship: code

but I have no idea how to do it in dokuwiki.
and you should do a ship a day as well!

I set up an example here. It's just a quick example and I'm unsure of how to handle a few stats. I left notes on the bottom of the page.

I'm not completely sure what you mean, but this is quick mock-up of what I was talking about.

Where green stands for non critical plates, and red for vulnerable plates.

Anyway, these are all just my suggestions; feel free to do it anyway you want. I do really like the wide banner images of each ship in action, it gives the pages a suitably active feel.

And I'm afraid I'm not going to be much help doing any of the hard, grunt, wiki work, there's been some major home renovations on this side of the monitor, and I'm not really going to have time to help much with the new pages.

Ok, I saw the page and I like it

How did you do the mock-up?

One ship a day wouldn't hurt you

Either way, thanks for your help thus far, I appreciate it.

Aquila
Also, I found a possible problem, P250 is named as P450, so should it be renamed in the wiki to be P450?

Yeah, I think the standard we're going for is for the page names to match the item names, so when item names are updated in new versions, we need to make a new page with the new name, migrate the contents over, and delete the old one.

It's also good policy to check the linkbacks first (click on the top left corner of the page), and update those pages to link to the new page.

Or, at least that's what I've done in the past. I guess that's all close to standards as we've got.

Centurion/X
Aurochs
Deimos
Chasm
Tundra
Sandstorm
Ares Sentry

[RPC]

oh, and I also added a spiffy new image for the ship guide/database. http://wiki.neurohack.com/transcendence/wiki/

[RPC]

Also, I think this is supposed to be P150, but I'm not sure anymore.... :/ I need to find it because the Centurion/X has a missing link.

[RPC]

Ummm... I also felt like doing the Corp Explorer and Corp Cruiser.

[shanejfilomena]

they use the same image but they are two different ships : the Corp explorer has no weapons ; the Ringer ship does.

they both have different orders and Sovs.

As for the Cruiser....Gotha 10's are not all they are cracked up to be. A Ranx Dreadnought can take several dozen, an RPC Dreadnought takes more

I rely on the 400"s ,personally, the better to hit with , but the damage is not all that huge , a Ranx Dred can still delay my sip of Cocoa during a game
