Forum:T5 Starship Mission Codes
This is the list of the ship mission codes from the T5.10 book (book 2, p. 68), but organized differently. The purpose of this is to take another attempt to reconcile the wiki Ship Classification (and Starship-Nav-Bar-Two-2019CE) with the T5.10 mission codes. This is a request to make sure the T5.10 codes are propagated forward.
The T5 mission taxonomy is included where it clarifies the mission code.
- Mission Modifiers. Rob suggests that mission modifiers be added to satisfy ships that don't have T5 codes. See the secondary modifier table for suggestions.

Wiki-1 Discussion
Ship Mission Code/updates is the lengthy discussion for the first set of Wiki specific mission codes. These were developed within the wiki to capture the missing and forgotten types from the CT and MT ship mission codes. These were produced in 2015 prior to the T5.10 rules. For any new updates, the linked page could be referenced to make sure we're covering everything. Tjoneslo (talk) 19:01, 17 March 2022 (EDT)
Wiki-2 Amendment Discussion Starters
I see that a lot of work went into the Wiki-2 column, so I want to start talking over the decisions made there.
In particular, I want to see how many of these are intractable, and how Wiki-2 sifted through the ship types that "fall through the cracks". Rje (talk) 17:36, 17 March 2022 (EDT)
- One of the concerns around the T5.10 mission codes is they seem to be focused on the ACS class of small ships, and there may be a different codes for the BCS or larger classes. Tjoneslo (talk) 19:01, 17 March 2022 (EDT)
