The wiki update status

[cshake]

Hey there Kazinsal.

I looked at your comment on the ship infobox talk page, and have been debating this myself. I've been thinking of the two types as 'Fighter torpedoes' and 'Bomber torpedoes', but nomenclature can be figured out with a poll or something.

The issues here are:
1) Not every heavy torp hardpoint can also mount a CD, an issue with the current template as well. For an example, look at the Bull Dog.
2) Some ships can mount either the 'heavy torp' or the original torp class, examples are Mjolnir and Mafic. The big issue here is how do you represent this? If you just put heavy torp, you imply that it can't mount the fighter torps. If you put both, it looks like more hardpoints.

I'm currently leaning towards using the unmodified template, including both types in the torpedo count, and just including the specifics of the hardpoint[s] in the hardpoint info section. This would mean that in addition to specifics about shield mount and gun/turret mounts that it would explicitly list anything that can mount either torp type and/or CD.

I have put a hold on people using my generator for now until this can be worked out, as I think that a bit of a delay is better than having to redo everything if the consensus changes.

Come see us in the skype chat or IRC sometime, I'll be glad to go over it more there, and am always open to ideas.
