I'm assuming you mean we haven't worked out the ship classification thing. This thread should not be going anywhere as this is separate from that one.

I believe he's referring to Cats'

I don't like this thread's direction. Let's post our ideas in a clear and precise manner below and we'll discuss them.

[Chairman_Tiel]

I feel attack line is rather useless and unneeded; should be pretty obvious from a picture anyway. Remove Singleships and have Complement as a count of the standard singleship loadout of the vessel in , then just rename what Complement was previously to Crew.

Also wtf is Beam

Also wtf is Beam

According to my sources, it's the width.

[cats]

Beam is the width at the widest area. Complement is how crew is quantified on wikipedia so I kind of want to go along with that. I can change singleships to craft carried, but I think most people can work out what "single ships" mean. Attack line isn't really necessary, but I'm going to keep it anyway.

Human Race Scheet

Spoiler:

Name: Human

Scientific Name: Homo sapiens sapiens

Habitat: Temperate climate

Anatomy and Physiology: The human is a cephalic, warm-blooded creature with an calcified endoskeleton. It's body is divided into the head, neck, torso, arms, and legs. The brain, olfactory sensors, eyes, and ears are located on the head, protected by the cranium. The torso houses most other organs, including the heart, lungs, liver, most of the digestive system,

[cats]

Tiel, stop being tick. I considered the suggestions and have stated why they weren't used. If more people think they should be changed or if you have a better reason for why I should change them, I'll change them.

E: I said I could change single ships to craft carried. I didn't because it's not necessary, it could be either way. If you think more people would prefer it another way, I'll change that.

[Ivan2006]

should be pretty obvious from a picture anyway.

Except not everyone will be able to give you a picture of every single ship class they have.

If one can't be bothered to even make a sketch of a ship perhaps they don't need to have it in the first place

It's not that I really care about the issues this time; my point is that this mentality of yours that "well I COULD but I don't want to" isn't exactly conducive to any kind of feedback being generated.To have it and complain about the absence thereof seems rather hypocritical to me.

[Ivan2006]

Tiel, people may have dozens of different ships in their fleet, which they might just not bother to draw properly. Remember not everyone is capable of making a sketch look properly enough for the average person to be able to imagine the ship.
I don't think we need the value tho.

[Chairman_Tiel]

No one's asking for a damn Picasso; again, if someone "might just not bother" to create even the roughest of drawings or even an MC build for a class than there's no point in having it in the RP. If the creator doesn't care, who should?

[cats]

Well, we need to hold everything to a certain degree of good. There are a few people on the forums, including me, that can make simple sketches as long as there is something to start, so it shouldn't be a problem. I wouldn't expect for every single ship to be entered with an image, though. As long as people don't start spamming dozens of classes, it's the information that's the important part.

[Ivan2006]

Also another thing: requesting to rename 'max velocity' into 'max accelleration', as that is the actual important part in space (especially since a maximum velocity is technically inexistant unless the ship is atmosphere capable...)

[cats]

I was thinking some velocity safety limit that varies from ship to ship because the average velocity is the important part and multiplying more than once is hard. But yeah, acceleration would make more sense. FTL would still be the whatever it is because FTL magic.
