Edits and additions to the Template (2019)

Maksim, you asked me to add a few things to both the template and the underlying cargo tables. In reading through the existing template I have found a number of changes that could be made. I'm putting the list here for discussion:

• Aerodynam: Since every rule set refers to this as Streamline, I think that make a better parameter name than the truncated Aerodynam.
• Architect: In the original this was the Architect fee, part of the cost of creating a ship. Not all ship design system include this as a calculation. I am re-asserting this parameter as the fee (in MCr).
• Canon: In all the other templates this is a simple Yes/No flag. I'm going to assume this is true here too.
• Cost: Pedantically, this should be price, but every system uses Cost. There are three parts to the cost of a ship: Architect fees, price singly, and price in quantity. I've seen several ships trying to put both into this field. Cost will be assumed to be for singly, and add a costQuantity field. And architect parameter will hold the Architect fee.
• Designer: The designer is a new parameter, holding the name of the person who created the design (if known). e.g. Ronald Klein. The ref parameter is for book references.
• Design System: The designSystem is a new parameter. This holds the name of the design system used for the original design. e.g. Book 2, High Guard, MT, GT: Starships, T5, FF&S1, FF&S2, etc. The different design systems can produce different results.
• Hpass / Lpass: These are assumed to be Staterooms and Low Berths (respectively). Some designs include barracks between these two. And small-craft may have seats (think airplane).
• Illustration: Like Canon and Blueprint this will be a simple Yes/No flag
• IOC : I wish the linked page would explain the IOC refers to year of starting operation. This will be only a year. Is there a corresponding term for when the ship leaves service?

Thank you for all of your hard work and brainstorming.

• I will respond back later.
• Great ideas!

Thomas, feedback: Why don't we proceed with two new updates:

1. InfoboxShip2: A gradual update of the older template along very modest lines.
2. InfoboxShip3: A more differentiated update of the template with the ideas you have presented which are quite excellent.

InfoboxShip3:

• Aerodynam: Since every rule set refers to this as Streamline, I think that make a better parameter name than the truncated Aerodynam.
• Architect: In the original this was the Architect fee, part of the cost of creating a ship. Not all ship design system include this as a calculation. I am re-asserting this parameter as the fee (in MCr).
• Canon: In all the other templates this is a simple Yes/No flag. I'm going to assume this is true here too.
