I think you've been Elite since 256.
:oops:

Oh Well, updated the layouts of:
*Oolite Ships
*OXP Ships A to K
*OXP Ships L to Z
again, i'm happy with the layout now, didnt get as much done today on finishing the ships in L to Z as I would of liked though, still plenty to be aded there.

I'm thinking i might have to split it into 4 groups instead of 2 (A to E, F to K, L to Q, R to Z) as A to K takes a while to load even on my PC, I imagine on slower PC's it takes even longer.

Wow... that is quite a lot of ships!
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Split it into 4 groups, seems to be much better now, easier to edit too.

There are quite a few ships missing from these pages. For example, Killer Wolf's Venom and Vampires.

Maybe you could start a Kickstarter Campaign to found your £4500 pledge. 8)
Thanks to Gimi, I got an eBook in my inbox tonight (31st May 2014 - Release of Elite Reclamation)!

Wow! What an improvement. Nice work.
Just one small point, though, Smivs'Shipset does not appear in the 'All OXPs by category', although it is in the A-Z section. It is fairly new and is still finding it's way around I think.

That's fairly common, most people don't bother updating the category part, when I've finished off the last few bits on the OXP ships pages i'll have a look at the OXP pages, but not right now as i somehow managed to stay awake for like 40 hours and during that time was editing the wiki for the whole duration (check my log lol, thats some crazy stuff) So i better turn off my PC before my brain explodes! 8)

Awesome job! Congratulations, ADCK!
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

Just changed the format of how ship were linked on http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Oolite_Ships

Before it was done like:

Code: Select all

|align="center" width="200" height="175"|[[Adder (Oolite)|Adder]]<br>{{Click || image=adder.png | link= Adder (Oolite) | width=100px | height=100px}}
But now it's:

Code: Select all

| align="center" width="200" height="150"|[[Image:adder.png |link=Adder (Oolite) |100px|]]<br>[[Adder (Oolite)|Adder]]
Which means the images are now properly clickable, before if you clicked part of the right side of the image it sent you to the images page instead of the ships, also put the name under the icon instead of above.

works and looks alot better now... havnt done it for the oxp ships yet.

<EDIT> just realised i could of made the code even smaller and removed the now redundant |100px| part, (since all the pics are already 100 pixels squared) but done is done.

Thanks for that. Made me realise we can do that in the galleries too, so have done that on the Griff, Deepspace, Neolite and Smivs Shipsets.

EDIT: oh and the Shady Sungs gallery too.

No probs.

I've pretty much finished work on the OXP Ships pages, all that is left to do is fix the alphabetical list, and add the ships on the OXP pages that are mentioned, but dont have pages (The Red Links that go no-where)
