What are the possible sizes of champion for each nebula?

I think it's:

(EER v SFR, SP v NA vDS, NM v DPCs)       123} Frigate/Destroyer
(GS v Gatlings, SP v CA)                             45} Frigate/Destroyer/Cruiser
(IMT v RS)                                                   6} Destroyer/Cruiser
(multi-faction nebulae)                             789} Cruiser
(repeats)                                                10+} Battleship

Also, how do I create a new page on the wiki? I'm currently filling in pages already linked, but I want to make one.

If warheads can't solve it, use more warheads.

To make a new page just type it in to the address bar.

so browsing to http://arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=New_Page

would allow you to create a page named "New Page"

Note that spaces are replaced with underscores.

edit: I saw you did an update to some of the Golem pages, I've gone back and finished the Golem stat tables off for 6.009.

Okay.

Show/Hide text, can anyone make this work?

I'm starting on the Astrotrain page and would love to be able to show/hide the ship detail tables on demand but can't make it work.

Anyone have any clue how that works?

I made a new page for Ancient Shadows, called General Nebulae.

How do I get it to appear in the Ancient Shadows box, along with all the different individual nebula pages?

I think that the scenario details shouldn't be in the ships and structures page...after all the mission isn't really one of those isn't it? It might be better to list ships and buildings by factions and give the nebula scenario details different page/template (kinda like how it's done with the Fallen Spire walkthrough)...

Hmmm.

That makes me realize I need to actually play through Ancient Shadows from start to finish.

Last time I enabled AS, only half the nebula were in at that point.

So, if the different factions actually return across nebula, then yes, there should be a page for each faction I think.

With the number of units each faction has, I'm thinking one page for all the factions would get too big.

Alright, I tweaked the AIWarRefNav to show my current idea. I added the AS Overview page and the Faction pages along the bottom. I'll actually name them correctly when I get home and have access to the game again.

Also, what pages have been made for Ancient Shadows so far? I'm looking for the ones made by Keith and Chris during beta that we don't have links to at the moment in the wiki.

Doing a search for 'Ancient Shadows' on the wiki returns only the pages we have created and the page about the expansion itself that lists all the new features. I thought I remember a page that Keith started specifically for the Ancient Shadows Campaign?

D.

edit: I've also added a Player Help Section to the wiki where all these questions from players that are being answered on the forums should go. This page will probably move once the wiki near completion, but for now this will work as a temporary page. This page is really to track the questions that pop up in the forum to make sure they get answered in the wiki when everything is said and done.

Since there's several types of AI Eyes now, should we make new pages for each, or consolidate the current 3 into single page and add the rest of them on that page? Or make it like Astrotrains and have them on separate tab?

Also there's no mention of minifort yet in the ship template...

I'll get to everything eventually.  ;)

I'm marking off units in the data file as I update them so I have a record of which units have made it on to the wiki so far. Just have not made it to the mini-fort yet.

As for the eyes, I'm probably going to leave them on the same page as their stats are identical, except for their Eye effect. (Need to confirm this still.)

It will be like the Core Fabricator page in that regard as the base stats for the Core Fab are the same, it is just a different unit that it can build.

edit: Created the top level Fallen spire page (or placeholder anyway): http://arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Fallen_Spire_Campaign
There are some pages about the Fallen Spire on the wiki but no top-level page to link to everything.

edit2: Pretty large revision to http://arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=AI_War_Ships_and_Structures
My intention with that page it it will match the layout of AIWarShips template and have a one line description of every unit in the game as you scroll down the page.
Contents require over haul, I just lined up the section headings as I think they need to be.

Do Carrier Guardians have the scaling firepower depending on the number of units inside it the same as regular Carriers do?

How often can Starship Disasseble Guardians swallow a starship?

How much healing does the Vampirism ability grant?

Guardians done.

To-do list (so I quit forgetting things):
  • Fortress King and Heroic AI types, either of them have wave or reinforcement size multipliers?
  • Astro-Trains page
  • Add new units to Ships and Structures
  • Redo Ships and Structures page to match RefShipsNav template
  • Sortable Immunities and Abilities tables
  • Fallen Spire Organization
  • Add Wrath Lance and Teuthida to Core guard posts page.

No.

Instantly, but it can only hold a number of starships equal to its mark.

Quote

I think it's equal to the damage inflicted, but I am not sure.

Hmm...Mobile Repair Station in-game only has repair rate of 1 and said in description that it only repair 20 units at once...while in wiki it says rate 5 and all units...

Also, why does Microparasite has mk 1-5? Isn't it experimental fab only ship?

On the mobile repair, there was a pretty major overhaul to how repair worked in version 5.080 or so and the page just has not been updated for that yet.

On the microparasite, I don't know. Marks 1-5 exist in the data files so my script made the page as shown. You are right however in that they are only buildable from the Experimental Fab, so I'm not sure. (At least as far as I know?)
