That was sarcasm.....or was it?

As I said I fail to see the reason why useful information in wiki should be replaced with not so useful "go RP on the specific server" information

Way I see it, a faction should have control over their own faction page. That means their faction page, not their NPC faction page, not their base pages, not their ship pages, but their official (or unofficial) faction page.

All bases are public knowledge in the meta-game... I can open the ini files any time I want and find the location of any base I want, then fly there whether you like it or not. That goes for everyone, not just the HF.

I'm fail to see why an information what would be only known by a few characters should be on wiki, or why is it better than a reminder saying 'want cool stuff? Come and RP'.

If someone's hacker enough to find and open an .ini file, he belongs to that base. I guess so those people too who spent a looong time looking for that base in that sauce.

You realize that the mod is used for single player, on other servers and not only on this one?

So you do believe that hiding already available information in ooRP library will spare your l33t neighborhood from lulz.
Vespucci must have been suffering a lot I guess.

Anyway, I'm leaving this thread.

I wonder just how many people in this thread complaining about censorship have ever even gone to the wiki page before now.

OMGZ Drama! Must join!

Just sayin'


Oh, and for all y'all, if you really care about it, just click on that little "page history" button at the top of the page, and look at a previous revision that has the info. Those are there no matter what, being a wiki and all.

I think it should be telling that the position of the person in charge of everything here, who has the final say on what gets included or not, is that of trolling the OP.


For the whole "missing content is teh evil" crowd - were you also complaining when a bunch of pages still didn't exist because nobody had the time to make them? In the last 6 months I've practically doubled the pagecount of the wiki by myself, with the addition of every gun and turret page, pages for all inhabited or not planets and bases (including missions and bribes offered), and recently all the shields. I added all the detailed hardpoint info and nice clean buying locations for every ship where many of them didn't have either, and I'm working on putting up pages for all the rest of the misc. equipment so you know where to buy it. Yet the only comments about any of that have been a polite request for the addition of misc. equipment pages, and complaints about the prices on a few commodities not being magically accurate for the GC server (when they're all correct from the inis and for most other servers).

People, it's a lot more likely that what you want will happen if you ask nicely and don't make a ****storm. Logical arguments that aren't full of raeg and Q_Q and sarcasm are much more likely to be read by those of us who actually edit things. Hell, I'm surprised that Soong and I are even still posting in here. We've both got real jobs.

Yeah, but doing so requires a certain degree of sophistication not necessary for simply browsing the Wiki.

That being said...I think if a faction wants to keep an object inside it's guard system secret, they should be allowed to keep coordinates and directions out of the respective articles. While I do believe that the wiki ought to be an all-knowing ooRP resource, if a faction doesn't want any lolwuts snooping around their bases, it's their choice and should be respected.

Also, lol@Igisstroll.
