peel off MkI ships into "Specials"

[Error]

You mean like this?? Don't. All the Mk 1 fighters fit in nicely in the LF/HF/VHF categories - putting them in the special/unique ships category wouldn't make much sense, as they're for ships that don't fit into any of the types of fighters above. You'd also lose the ability to see which ship class the Mk 1 fighter you're looking at under that header belongs to at a glance.

tl;dr: I'd say personally say no to this. Mk 1 fighters are LFs/HFs/VHFs too. The Special/Unique ships header is for ships that are "Special/Unique", not low-powered LFs/HFs/VHFs.

EDIT: What would the advantage of this be, by the way? I can't immediately see one myself.

EDIT2: This is what talk pages are for, by the way. I probably wouldn't have noticed your post if I didn't have email notifications enabled for any new posts in the Wiki subforum. I do, however, regularily lurk the recent changes page, like many other regular contributors to the Wiki.
