The Ship Strategy Conversation

Hmmm.

I actually didn't even look at that. I assumed I'd have to come back and tweak the pictures once they are uploaded. (They are not yet.)

I'll check into it tomorrow first thing.

Awesome work Dazio!! 

Two little ideas:

*  Mark V Knowledge cost could probably have a link to "Core fabricator" where such exists.

*  I'd personally like columns labelled "M+C" and "Cap M+C" that gave the total resource cost for building a unit or cap.  You could recover space for that by replacing every instance of "Ship Cap" with just "Cap" in the column titles.

Good idea on the Core Fab link. However, as not every ship has a Core Fab, I'm going to leave it as is in the template and update that on a per ship basis when I do the fabricators page.

As for the Metal and Crystal, I can easily add the Cap M+C however I don't think I will be adding the single ship M+C.
I don't see as much point to the single ship M+C and it would be a pretty big deal to add that as opposed to the Cap M+C cost which I can add in about 30 seconds.  (Don't ask, the template code is rather.... wonky)

Good point on the space 'Ship' takes up, I think I can pull those out easily.

However, does anyone know where I can find the ship caps? I am currently manually entering those for each ship.

I can have it add the core fabricator type (or "None", if none) in a new column on the reference export (or are you using the excel secondaries instead?).  I'm guessing you'd prefer a human readable form rather than CoreFabricatorFighter or whatever it would be.

However, does anyone know where I can find the ship caps? I am currently manually entering those for each ship.

I think I added them as the last column of the reference export a few versions ago.

I am using the Ctrl-Shift-F8 excel export for all of this.

For the Ship Caps, there is a 'Ship Cap' column but it looks like ships that change cap based on the Low/Normal/High option have a 0 entered in that column. But that column is in the middle of the export, not the end, I'll have to check when I get home. (Posting on break at work at the moment.)

For the core fabs, if you can easily add a column that is great. Don't spend too much time on it however, currently I intend for the template to be a once-off to create the pages then any updates happen manually. Going back over every page by hand is going to happen at some point and the core fab link is so minor I figure it can wait for a bit.

One thing is, do you have back end access to the wiki upload multiple images at once? Right now I'm looking to have to upload each ship's image individually. (Or I just can't find the link that allows me to do so.)

Also, can you define excel secondaries? I'm assuming the Ctrl-Shift-F8 dump is what you call the reference export.

Ah, ok, that's not the one I'm talking about.  I mean the export button on the reference tab of the stats window.  I did that one for my own purposes, and Chris did the one you're using a while ago for his

I could probably get the files there but actually making the wiki aware of them is apparently trickier and not supported in our current setup.  http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual_talk:Configuring_file_uploads#Multiple_Uploads

So a totally different file? Okay, I'll have to investigate that.

K. Found the file and I see what you mean.

edit: Started a thread specifically for the wiki in the general section here.
