Template talk:NewStarship

• • • Please don't jack with my template. The last person who did only fucked it up. Thanks. ***

Usage

This is an infobox for technical and usage information on various classes of space vehicles. The fields are relevant to starships, fighters, shuttles, and most other spacefaring constructs.

For individual examples of a known class, do not use this template. Use {{Individual_ship}} instead.

For space stations, we are now using {{Space_station}}.

When adding fields to this box, be sure to update Template:Starship_infobox/preload at the same time. (At some point, someone with a bot will be moving {{Ship}} to {{Starship_infobox}}.)

Instructions

Cut and paste the following code into your article, then put the relevant specifications after the "=" signs.

Data fields

• name – Simply list the name of the ship in italics.
• image – Put a link to the main image which represents the class. If the image is 250 pixels wide or larger, specify an image width of 250 pixels. If the image is smaller than 250 pixels wide, do not specify the size.
• imageBG – if the image is smaller than 250 pixels wide, listing the image's background color here will keep a large blue border from appearing around it.
• manufacturer – Put the manufacturer name here
• designer – Put the name of the person(s) or organization(s) that designed the craft, if different or more specific than manufacturer
• model – List the full official class name.
• class – List the primary classification of the model
• cost – List the cost of the ship (and the currency type if needed)
• length – Length of the ship
• width – Width of the ship
• height – Height of the ship
• max accel – Maximum acceleration in "g"
• mglt – Speed in MGLT -- do not use if "max accel" is known. MGLT is primarily a gameplay mechanic.
• max speed – Maximum atmospheric speed
• maneuverability – Maneuverability rating
• engine – Types of sublight and atmospheric drive systems
• hyperdrive – Hyperdrive ratings
• hdrange – Hyperdrive range (in light-years)
• hdsystem – Hyperdrive system (or "none" if no hyperdrive)
• poweroutput – Power output in watts (this field will rarely be used)
• power – Types of power systems
• shield gen – Type of shield generators (with rating if known)
• hull – Type of hull materials (with rating if known)
• sensor – Types of sensor systems
• target – Types of targeting systems
• navigation – Navigation computer systems
• avionics – Avionics/flight control systems
• countermeasures – ECM and stealth systems
• armament – List of weaponry equipped
• complement – Support craft carried aboard
• crew – Number of crew (with crew breakdown if known)
• skeleton – Minimum crew required for operation
• passengers – Number and type of passengers carried
• capacity – Cargo capacity (be careful, this may overlap with complement and passengers)
• consumables – Duration of consumable goods stored aboard
• othersystems – Any systems not listed above
• role – List what the ship is used for here
• firstuse – Enter the date the class was introduced
• era – List the eras in which the ship is used here
• affiliation – List the governments and major organizations that use the ship here
• modules – List of {{Ship module}} infoboxes for each module of modular ships only
