Yes they are, within the main table, but they may not appear in the individual category pages, if that's what you mean.
Commander Smivs, the friendliest Gourd this side of Riedquat.

Re: The Caduceus Omega
Wow, All that just because I wanted to have my baby added to a short list....
I really didn't see any harm in it, But from what has been said I can see how bigger problems could easily ensue.
First;
Thanks Cmdr. ClymAngus for such a great ship, not forgetting all the other commanders you mention that helped.
And, sorry for not getting your permission to have the Gertty added, Just happy you seen fit to leave her there.
Thanks.

Re: The Caduceus Omega
I don't know, you pop off for a month or two to indulge a minor minecraft obsession and hey presto! I miss a rather good wiki related moral discussion.........
It would appear I have made a fatal error, I assumed my evil little (and admittedly, slightly over powered) ship wouldn't become popular. I thought it would be at best a curio and the back story was written as such. This was an error on my part.
RyanHoots: Your initial statement does stand (academically speaking) , wiki pages can be changed by many people with many different intentions and agendas. Some of them helpful. Some, less so.
Fatleaf: Gentlemanly conduct in all things creative...... A thought by which I do try to live by!
Having seen how these group endeavours progress (and occasionally disintegrate) I am at pains to try and make my small additions as inclusive as possible (re: the vector maps). Yes I made it, yes I have a soft spot for it. But if you truly love something then set it free.
That said, freedom is chaos without consistency. We've all been there, seen stories we really have respect for getting screwed over by divergent visions of what they could be. So, why simply add when the opportunity presents itself to properly embellish? Why simply alter when you can be part of a wider descriptive and narrative whole? Why play Chinese whispers when many voices can sing in unison?
If I might suggest an elegant solution, that satisfies both wider story and personal Kudos: clone ships. A living ship repairs itself, it would be difficult but not impossible to trick a part, to repairing itself into a total recreation of an original. There is nothing lesser statistically between an original Caddy and a clone (in fact the nature of the term requires flawless replication). Just as alive, just as individual (after the point of creation (nature vs nurture and all that)). Think thoroughbred, in horse racing..... Training is important but all modern Thoroughbreds can trace their pedigrees to three stallions originally imported into England in the 17th century and 18th century. Could caducei not be similar? In an asexual way of course?
I would just like to thank everyone for taking the time to reply to this thread. Your comments and support are greatly appreciated.
Right! I'm off to tinker with the wiki!

Re: The Caduceus Omega
No thread necro here, just feel inclined to say thanks ClymAngus, for the best ship I've ever used .
By the way, if we can name our ship, I'd like to name mine the 'Murderous Morrígan' - I saw the known omegas list of names on the wiki page.
