New wiki page: Exploration
I've linked it into the Career Options page.
I'd greatly appreciate some feedback (errors/omissions/suggestions etc.).

Re: Oolite Wiki
New wiki category: Navies
The page has an introduction trying to give an overview of the variety on offer, rather than just the usual less helpful list.

I've not bothered linking in the zilllion-and-one Galactic-Navy-category pages, just what seem to be the important ones.

Re: Oolite Wiki
Having made a tiny edit on the Exploration page (SOTL section), this dumb pilot has just discovered that messages can be sent on the Wiki.
I'll think something up for Ceerti after lunch (or tonight). The Navies page seems fine to me - good work, Cholly!
On another subject: it won't have escaped your attention that I dislike the term "Galaxy", but I dislike the term "Sector" even more!

I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills

Re: Oolite Wiki
Nice job Cholmondely, at a first look it certainly looks good. I need to look a little deeper when I have time, but I guess I will not find much.Cholmondely wrote: ↑Sun Oct 31, 2021 11:27 amNew wiki category: Navies

Edit:
The Assassins Guild OXP with the ships of the Eszausveian Dictatorship probably belongs to this category. The Daemon Class Cruiser would be an example.

Re: Oolite Wiki
"Galaxy" obviously makes no sense, and it took a while to change most to "Sector". What suggestions you would have Cody ?

Re: Oolite Wiki
I've used "Octant" for a long time, but I guess we're stuck with "Galaxy" as that's what the game calls them. I use "Sector" to describe sections of a chart, like the Rift Worlds, which consists of three groups of worlds, only two of which are named (according to ClymAngus' charts). I wasn't around much when those charts were being named, so I only got to name one sector (Ramaan's Keep).
I believe Solo's excellent charts name the Rift Worlds as Baying Wolf, which is perfect!

Re: Oolite Wiki
"Octant" sounds pretty good to me, divided in sectors. I wonder what the rest of the noways small community is thinking about it. For sure it would be a challenge to change the wiki, not even mentioning the core-game.Cody wrote: ↑Sun Oct 31, 2021 1:17 pmI've used "Octant" for a long time, but I guess we're stuck with "Galaxy" as that's what the game calls them.

Re: Oolite Wiki
Ha! If I could rename the core-game galaxy titles, I'd use the names from another version of Elite:
- G1. Santaari
G2. Colesque
G3. Lara’tan
G4. Angiana
G5. Proximus
G6. Sol
G7. Jaftra
G8. Xrata

An octant is half a quadrant. It is as obvious as four gills make up a pint...

Re: Oolite Wiki
Well, I never worry about anything less than a pint when ordering in a pub, which why Cologne kind of drove me nuts, what they call beer glasses in other countries is used for spirits.

Re: Oolite Wiki
I admit I like it more than Octant, more realistic as well.
