Approved Submission [NDC] Gremlin Cyber-Warfare Suite

This suggestion has been implemented. Votes are no longer accepted.
FM Approval on this needed. Then will conduct a review.
 
Is FM approval gonna happen? We've been waiting a long time.

It's taken a bit to get to this because of the stuff going on OOC, but I think I'd be ready to FM stamp this if certain sections were removed. I feel like the parts about sensors are better suited to being on their own page, instead of one about an electronic warfare suite.

I'd also kind of like to see a lot of it be reworded to be a bit less awkward or silly, like sending "A decillion bits of explicit pictures", but that's more minor than the bits about sensors.
 
Show me a ship’s sensors page where these would be listed and I will take it out and add them. I don’t want to create a new page just for sensors at this time and Whisper mentioned that the sensors should also be on the page.

Whisper also mentioned that the explicit stuff can be a part of a variation of the Gremlin so not all would. What is said is that the Gremlin can send junk data, though variations can exchange the junk data for something else.

Nyx’s ship is going to be made based on all the starships in video games I have played, and so too would the Gremlin.

From what I can tell, you had written this as a purpose-built electronic warfare suite. Whisper might have been confused and thought that this was a general electronics suite. Sensors don't tend to be built into electronic warfare equipment, I can help you write a dedicated sensors page, but I would like them to be separate so that it's easier to be specific when creating new starships.

Additionally, I would appreciate it if details specific to custom versions of the gremlin were kept on the page of the ship that's using custom stuff (So keeping details specific to the ones that Nyx uses on the page for her starship) and keep this page as the standard version.

alright fine i have removed the mentions of explicit pictures and the sensors from the page.
 
Posting from my phone; I had been under the impression that this submission had been abandoned.

A few months ago, in an attempt to fix readability issues that myself and other NDC FMs thought weren’t being solved, I made a bunch of touch-ups to this article.

I’d be happy to give FM approval, if the readability issues were solved, which is why I had taken the effort to make it as easy for Charaa as possible.

The last time it was brought up, they didn’t seem to really care, but I hope they’ll reconsider so that we can get it FM-stamped.
 
I saw that you tried, and I know that writing wiki stuff isn’t easy. I want to make this easier for you, so if you want, we can use the version with all of the little fixes already made and just copy the wiki code over.

I won’t always have the time to do this, but it’s already done in this case so if you want to take advantage of that, we can get to the FM-stamping a lot quicker.
 
It seems readable to me and I'm usually a hound for those things. @Jack Pine is this submission ready for FM approval?
 
Any updates on this thing? Would love to give it the OK stamp or at least clear the submissions forum.

@Charaa @Alex Hart
 
As i said, I did some edits, but I mostly focused on my own words while the one Alex made was in his own words. I'm not comfortable in using his for that reason. Though I'd rather not mark this as abandoned.
 
I'll FM-stamp Charaa's version, I've been busy for the last few months and I honestly thought that this had been abandoned. I do hope to see improvements to some of the points I raised earlier in the review for future submissions.

Also, if you read my version and compare it to the original, it's basically the same with only a few small changes, so it's not really in "my" words. I did my best to help you out and make things easier for you.
 
Okay, I will review this as soon as possible then (gotta sleep now).
 
What happened with this?
