Here's what I had in mind for a different format on the ship stats spreadsheet. Thoughts? -tc


Interesting. It does seem a bit less cluttered, although I'd like the images in for the variants. Perhaps just smaller than I had them before. --Dundradal 02:47, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

I added in a smaller (120px instead of 150px) image to the spreadsheet so you can see how it looks. -tc

Better, but I don't think we need to put an image under each type, just those that are visually different (so WC2/Priv BS, WCM BS, Arena BS's)


Did a few small things to play around with column sizes.

Thinking about it, you should consider using the shield/armor graphics from the ships guide for the armor/shield column. Not sure if it will look good or not but it's worth thinking about. --Dundradal 01:38, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

My concern is that this format can get too wide if, for example, it's typed out as "meters" instead of just "m" or graphical templates are used when short text can work all the same. It's already pushing towards the edge on my non-widescreen monitor. I feel that a spreadsheet should really be focused on economizing on space in a no-nonsense manner. Otherwise serious consideration should be made in making a complete graphic template and using a thumbnail gallery. -tc

Oh, and I find the ships guide stats cross you talked about to be very hard on my eyes and not very legible. -tc

I see your points. The ships database entries are very long because of the image-heaviness of each page. I'd love to find a way to included all that information but not have it look like crap. --Dundradal 13:13, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
