This one is more extensive
It is still nice to have a table there to easily compare all ships' most crucial data, price aside.

Unfortunately that table has a lot of missing ships. Especially more recent ones.

I wasn't aware of this table so when I've created ship data pages on the wiki I've not added the ships to it. Probably other people have missed it out too.

It seems to me that there may be a way of linking the ship data tables on individual ship pages into a table, however I don't exactly know how the templates and categories' mechanisms work.

sounds good! But don't throw the earlier BlackMonks' victim away. Keep file, build Commander up bit-by-bit and later on extract horrible revenge (however you do that to a Monk of Mammon).
There are a couple of items in the Killit OXP that would probably do nicely..

Well then... thanks for this...

Yupp. Another reason could be that if a new oxp is done the author has to frickle around with too much different pages.

Totally agree !
I hadn't even seen this page.

Well, it isn't linked to other than from OXP#Ship_Systems.

But if it is mainly intended for use with Realistic Shipyards, then maybe that is OK. Would ven be better if RS had it's own page that would also link to the table.
But I don't know, maybe that is touching old wounds - I do not mean to do that. Then sorry.

JazHaz - if you feel like wiki editing : would you like to create a redirect page - plist -> property list ?
It is crucial knowledge inside that page for interested users, but I really had difficulty finding it, even a fulltext search for plist will (can) not list property list in it's top results.
I originally only found it by reading the category:Oolite scripting page.

ps - would this better be cut from this topic ? (by moderator, I mean)

Done. Click on this link to see the redirect in action.: http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Plist

No it isn't. As said, there will be a new RS oxp with a new repricing formula - and if someone feels to make a new table out of that when I finish it, be my guest.

The old table might still be interesting as it lists unmodified stats of many older ships correctly.
