Line 1,258: ==Named JumpShips== ==Named JumpShips== − You have added named ships to various JumpShip articles. I have to warn you - there's probably a couple hundred named JumpShips of various types in BattleTech lore (I started a list myself almost 20 years ago that had more than 200 entries; much better and larger listings are found on the BattleTech forum). This would badly clutter the articles on individual JumpShip types. I therefore strongly suggest not to include named ships except where these are somehow special - the ''[[Magellan (JumpShip class)|Magellan]]''-class ''Persephone'' for example is a heavily modified unique ship and also played an important role in the noteworthy Manassas affair, so I reckon it warrants a special mention. Rank-and-file ships of a given class don't. + You have added named ships to various JumpShip articles.

Heck, we could even go full monty and create an article for each and every single named spaceship, and sort them through appropriate categories. That's what Wookiepedia does for Star Wars. Huge undertaking, but certainly a way to get another 1000 or so articles for BTW. :) [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] ([[User talk:Frabby|talk]]) 03:45, 15 December 2012 (PST) If you really wish to go through the immense task of catalogueing all named spaceships in BattleTech then I reckon these lists should be separate articles from those covering the general type, like "List of Invader-class JumpShips".
