Floatation Hull on Land Air Mechs[edit]

Land Air Mechs are considered WiGE vehicles in AirMech configuration. Going by that logic, is it reasonable to assume that a Floatation Hull be mounted on one? ~Amaroq Starwind~ (talk) 10:15, 7 April 2018 (EDT)

"Flotation" v. "Floatation"[edit]

I've changed the article's name to "Flotation" to match its spelling in Technical Operations (p. 302). I understand Technical Readout: Prototypes (p. 163) has it as "Floatation"; however I decided to defer to the ruleset.--Revanche (talk|contribs) 12:13, 16 June 2022 (EDT)

This is the first time I've ever seen anyone spell the word as floatation. CGL really needs somebody (who can spell) to proofread after spellcheck is done. Madness Divine (talk) 16:49, 16 June 2022 (EDT)
Just yesterday I was thinking, "MD should see if they are hiring for that." :D --Talvin (talk) 17:32, 16 June 2022 (EDT)

And "flotation" it shall remain. But at least now we know how it got past spell-check.--Talvin (talk) 17:42, 16 June 2022 (EDT)
