I thought that was a Tharglet or did I imagine that fact? :?

On what do you base the assumption that there’s only one name for them?

Only on the fact that I can't remember them being called anything else, I'm quite willing to be corrected though.

So if its awright for thargletts, why should it not be awright for frigguns?

Maybe I DID name the ships concistently, as there are 2 variants. A cruiser and a battleship. the battleship has turrets, the cruiser has more beams. iirc.

quite possible I just misspelled the things though.

…but at least three names…

hmmm..

Frigate escort = "terroriser" (+ shaped, has AI problems)
Cruiser = "Thorgon" Has all 4 thargoid-beams and two extra frontfacing.
Battleship = "Thargorn" has 4 T-beams and 5 turrets.

If I wrote Thorgorn somewhere, it is a typo.

“The Thargoid Thorgorn Battleship is found in the Thorgorn Threat OXP” — wiki :-)

AH: the correct procedure to move a page on a MediaWiki is to click the Move tab at the top. This moves the page, its talk page, and the editing history, and gives you the option to leave a redirect page which will automatically redirect to the new page. This is useful if there are existing links – such as those in this wiki thread, and the one on the Oolite Ships page. (The What Links Here link on the left of the page tells you about internal links).

Anyway, I’ve changed the old page to a redirect.

@A-man: Yes, sorry. I only recalled the <MOVE> button after I copy/pasted the old page to a new page and deleted the old one.
After this it wouldn't let me move the page, because it already existed.

I did change the shiplist reference as well.
