Hmmm, maybe we still need a good definition what we want to achieve.

From my POV, I am still searching for a good documentation where I can lookup stuff when playing the game. So my goal would be to go for a complete documentation set. However that is a lot of work, now that I see the amount of artefacts myself.

How about taking it in phases? (which would not mean we must not work on stuff of the other phases, but we could focus our attention to fewer issues):
Phase 1: All expansions
Phase 2: All player playable ships
Phase 3: All visible equipment
Phase 4: Complete the missing parts

So I can say we almost reached phase 1. All but 18 expansions have their wiki pages up. Content not verified, but that can be edited by almost any user if discrepancies are found.
I will try to finish the missing 18, but it seems information for those needs to be collected and put up.

@Cholmondeley, could you maybe have an eye over my actions?

The new missiles & bombs category page is now up: http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Catego ... _%26_Bombs

I've included all the gubbins I could find on Hiran's equipment indices - some 57 pages (many are links to Armoury.oxp or Missiles and Bombs.oxp).

I did search his index for "missile", "bomb" & "mine". Is there anything obviously missing?

In the Laser Tactics/Side Lasers section, it might be worth mentioning that in the core game, only the player's ship has side lasers, which gives the player a considerable advantage, once they've learnt how to use them effectively.

One thing I've noticed: On this page the title is 'F6 (galactic chart "1")'. However, if you've used a Galactic Hyperdrive, you will be in "Galactic Chart 2". Does the chart number need to be shown in the title?

Aimed at beginning pilots who have yet to jump Galaxy, by which stage they should no longer need it. So I copied the wording of the Vanilla page heading word for word.

Am I being naive?

I've put up a new page trying to explain what shipsets are all about - and listing them.

I don't think I really understand all this! Feedback, please!
