WCPedia: Ship/Fighter Articles

[Dundradal]

After having successfully completed the new fighter infobox I've been playing around with how to handle ship/fighter entries. My test article has been the A-17 Broadsword discussion page Where I've been messing with infoboxes and tables to see which displays all the information the best.

Currently that page looks like a disaster because I've got a bunch of code that isn't organized correctly (mainly the variant table it likes to intermingle with infoboxes)

What I'd like to do is be able to have essentially infoboxes in a row below the article text (and the first infobox) displaying each successive variant and its stats. Sort of what the Ships database article does except with images. I'd like to include armor/shield displays but not sure how to incorporate those just yet.

Anybody have any suggestions to this? Does this sound like a good way to organize the information?

You can sort of see what I'd like to do if you remove the stats table. I'm just not sure how to tell infoboxes to act the way I want. Just one more thing to explore...

Totally changed my train of thought with this. I was getting too complicated when the easy solution was simply to add images to the tables which I've gone and done in the Broadsword article discussion page linked above. This way also allows for easier inputing of classic WC armor/shield graphics. I think this will work great.

I was looking at some of the ship entries and the ones I saw didn't have maximum afterburner velocity. They had the maximum speed without afterburners, but that statistic is much less relevent. In actual combat, you're pretty much constantly hitting the afterburners.

Nice catch and silly me to forget it. I'll add it in now.

Added Max AB velocity and Max AB acceleration.
