• Changelog: Linky

A minor update that fixes a few typos, updates the formatting, and includes what @Wes said here regarding STL boosters and doublers.

I think the NTSE is a weird place for guide: articles. From what I understand, all you need is setting manager approval from @Wes for these types. He should probably say exactly how guide: articles should be submitted/added to the wiki.

 

[Arieg]

Should this be discussed?

 

[FrostJaeger]

Should this be discussed?

Assuming you're referring to the update, no, @Arieg, because of how minor this is.

 

[Doshii Jun]

Wes will determine that.

Can you give us a summary of the change? Looks mostly like math and the end explanation?

 

[FrostJaeger]

@Doshii Jun Here's a complete section-by-section listing of the changes I made.

• Explanation - Fixed several spelling typos and added a link to the FTL guide.
• The Golden Number - Fixed a minor formatting error and added an in-article to the next heading.
• Converting between c and ly/m - Converted the bolded titles into proper sub-headers.
  • c to ly/m - No changes.
  • ly/m to c - No changes.
• Target Speeds Added a link to the wiki's home page, the FTL guide, the continuum distortion drive, the hyperspace travel page, and Fred's home page. I also gave each table its own sub-header, removed the Anti-FTL section, and added what @Wes said here regarding STL boosters and doublers.
  • Sublight Propulsion - Cleaned up the table formatting and standardized the number of decimal places used for each value.
  • Continuum Distortion Drives - Cleaned up the table formatting and standardized the number of decimal places used for each value.
  • Hyperspace Fold Drives - Cleaned up the table formatting and standardized the number of decimal places used for each value.
• Other Notes - No changes.
• Examples - No changes.

 

[Doshii Jun]

Thank you, Jaegerman.

 

[FrostJaeger]

No problem, Doshii-kunsensei~

 

[FrostJaeger]

Not to be rude, but have you had a chance to look this over @Wes?

 

[Wes]

No, not yet.

Moved to setting discussion because it's not a IC setting submission.

 

[FrostJaeger]

I've added the following note to the Hyperspace Fold Drives section...

NOTE: Missile-based weapon systems such as missiles, rockets, and torpedoes are no longer required to have a listed STL velocity as of August 1st, 2017.

...in order to reflect what Wes said here.

Also, does anyone have any constructive suggestions they'd like to make - and would you mind officially reviewing this on August 31st, @Wes?

 

[FrostJaeger]

I've added the following note to the Hyperspace Fold Drives section...

NOTE: FTL devices other than teleportation modules cannot be used inside a sun's Hill Sphere.

...in order to reflect what the Starship Combat Guide says in this section.

 

[Wes]

This will not be reviewed until at least September 5th due to Dragon Con.

 

[CadetNewb]

I'd say the biggest, and most relevant changes would be the bold notes at the bottom. Most of them are just that, notes, but the part stipulating that missiles, torpedoes and the like shouldn't have STL speeds listed anymore is the newest change.

 

[FrostJaeger]

Fifty-six day bump @Wes.

 

[FrostJaeger]

Ninety-six day bump @Wes.

 

[Doshii Jun]

This remains a discussion. It is not a submission, right?

There's no need to bump it, Jaegerman. People viewed it. They didn't have much to say.

 

[Ametheliana]

This will not be reviewed until at least September 5th due to Dragon Con.

@Doshii Jun @Wes

I think this is ready to be reviewed.

 

[FrostJaeger]

One-hundred-and-ten day bump @Wes.

 

[FrostJaeger]

I am withdrawing this submission.
