Citing BV & template

Policy_Talk:Canon#Citing_BV: looks like your idea has sparked support. Can you pls respond? --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 18:52, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Hy Mbear i post a little link *Master Unit List.pdf, i hope it is helpfull.--Doneve 20:10, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

My article : Battle of Mars

Hey - Could you be more specific on what i screwed up? ClanWolverine101 13:53, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

I don't think you screwed up anything. I just added links on the Dragoon's warships to point to their class names.

If you're referring to my comment about the preview button, that was for me. I forgot to put in a | character and the link looked stupid. So I embarrassed myself.--Mbear 16:29, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

AH. Okay. Yeah, the comment confused me, not so much the idea that I had missed something as not being told what it was. And yes, good call in referencing the named vessels.

Honest, I just put a lot into that article, and wanted to see what others thought of it. *struts like a peacock* ClanWolverine101 14:58, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

DropShip - WarShip etc...

Hy Mbear i see in the DropShip, WarShip infobox templates, there are not the Lifeboads and Escape Pods listed, i think it is usefull, what are you thinking...?Doneve 19:58, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

You know... I was thinking the same thing for Aerospace Fighter capacity... ClanWolverine101 01:57, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

The WarShip infobox does have a place for Lifeboats and Escape Pods: It's the fifth line up from the bottom.

The DropShip infobox lacks that information. Off the top of my head I can't recall seeing that data, but if you want it listed I'll see what I can do about adding it.

Rather than add an explicit "AeroSpace Fighter" capacity location, I'd add a "small craft" line instead. I'm thinking of ships like the Nekohono'o, which carry 6 fighters + 9 Battle Taxis. In theory they could carry 15 small craft.--Mbear 16:38, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Hy, uups i over see it in the WarShip infobox, please can you list the data to the DropShip infobox, thanks a lot.--Doneve 08:07, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

The Small Craft/AeroSpace Fighter line has been added to both infoboxes. In the future, please do me a favor and put these requests on the Administrator page so any admin can work on it. (In case I'm out sick or something.) Thanks!--Mbear 13:35, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Armor Question

Hi Mbear. I have Article Request, since i'm not that good witht them. Your recent Heavy Rifle article, mentions of the Industrial / BAR Rating armor. Is there possiblity to create a article(s) that would cover them? I have number of article that have dead-wiki links to BAR 5, BAR 6, etc. I'm not that good at writing up on technical side of things, was hoping you could or point to someone to request it to be made. -- Wrangler 20:08, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

I can do that. I'll get started tonight after work.--Mbear 20:12, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Done. I've pointed your dead wikilinks to the generic Barrier Armor Rating page since the number just reflects the BAR value.--Mbear 21:53, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Solaris VII stables

Hi Mbear, I'm interesting to get information about the stables of Solaris VII. Did you know, from were I can get the Information? and how can i write an articel about it? Neuling 21:08, 5 May 2010 (UTC) tnx Neuling 21:08, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Sources to look for are: MechWarrior's Guide to Solaris VII, Solaris VII: The Game World, Solaris: The Reaches, and Unbound. There's also a little information in the opening fiction of MechWarrior, Third Edition, but I don't know how useful it'll be. I think there's some general info about Solaris in Warrior: En Garde and Assumption of Risk, but once again, how useful it will be is unknown.

As for writing the articles, there's a help page that will walk you through it. See the Solaris Stables category page for some examples.--Mbear 22:06, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Just to Pipe in, the Latest information for the stables is also found in Mappack: Solaris VII and Jihad Hot Spots books, because the Blakist occupation of the Solaris. -- Wrangler 13:42, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Piloting Skill not count?

Hey Mbear - I read this on your User page - can you please clarify your question, please? ClanWolverine101 19:58, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

The Battle Value computation for BattleMechs can be modified by the Piloting/Gunnery skill of the pilot (see this table). That's useful in games, but not useful here. So that's what I'm talking about in that statement. (I think the default BV computations include generic skill levels of 5 pilot/4 gunnery anyway, so it's probably moot.--Mbear 15:39, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Interesting. Yes, I would agree. ClanWolverine101 00:38, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Neuling 20:26, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Hy Mbear i removed the added links from Neuling, there not relevant.Doneve 20:56, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Neuling the short answer is "No." Please see the Objective Raids: 3067 page. It describes the reason for not using the file.--Mbear 13:31, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Award

Hoolla Mbear, i give you the Award, for your great Space Defense System article.Greetings --Doneve 13:18, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Hey thanks! I appreciate it.--Mbear 13:19, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Unit Compositions

Hy again, i want to bring the composition section the unit articles to one standart like this Example , what you are thinking about this, when you have ideas please talk to me.--Doneve 14:17, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

I think it is not necessary to name every commander from smaller subcommands. It is important to know the commanding officer from brigades or import units.— The preceding unsigned comment was posted by Neuling (talk • contribs) .

I agree with Neuling that the most important aspect of what you are trying to do is the commanding officers.. and not to be rude.. but their is a section for that and your example article has a single line in it. Look at the officers in the 2nd Sword of Light for something that will a bit more useful to most players. At the same time though I am very much in favor of every smaller unit being listed. --Dmon 14:40, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Doneve, I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Add the commanders of the regiments that make up an RCT? If you want to put that work in there, go ahead, I won't stop you. But before you spend a lot of time on that, I'd remind you that there are a lot of regiments listed in BTW already that may or may not have officer information. Even the publishers don't keep track of all the people who command RCT regiments (and smaller units like battalions, etc). So you may be taking on a huge task that might be of limited use. Maintaining it would also be a big challenge. At this time I don't see that it really adds any benefit, and you might get burned out part way through the task. (I should know, I reached a point on the Military Ranks project where I thought I'd go insane.)

But like I said earlier if you want to take on this task, I won't get in your way.--Mbear 16:15, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Hy guys, i don't make the task in next time (i had a lot of work about the SLDF and Manufacturing Timeline), but nice to see the reactions, and ideas Greetings--Doneve 16:27, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Wanted Files

Hi, I posses many of the wanted files but I doesn't know exacly if they are needed. Please give me a response. Neuling 05:50, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean here. Which wanted files are you speaking of?--Mbear 12:12, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Industries

My new task for the next weeks to come are to complete the industries section how far i can do. Where are the biggest problem tell me... Neuling 05:50, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

I really have no idea. Industries aren't one of my focus areas, really. Be bold and fix what you can.--Mbear 12:12, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Pictures from Game Cards

For many variants of the mechs and vehicles are pictures on the card game. What are you thinking, can I integrate this pictures with the existing files like daishi a and so on.... Neuling 05:54, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

I don't know. The card game is different from the tabletop game so there may be some overlap. I think Wrangler or Doneve uploaded a lot of the card game images, so they might be better able to answer your question.--Mbear 12:12, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Cost

Hy Mbear, please can you update the AeroSpace Fighter infobox with cost, i add the cost but i can't see it on the article, thanks.--Doneve 14:35, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Doneve, I've added a Cost line to the AeroSpace Fighter infobox as you requested. You can see an example on the Stuka page.--Mbear 19:01, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Ah Superb, thanks.--Doneve 19:21, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Record Sheets 3039 BV

Holla again, can you help me about the BV (grml..a never ending story), you see i update the ASF section by the RS 3039, iam a little bit confused then on the ASF articles on the wike the BV (1.0) addings are right or wrong there is no citation, when it is ok, i add the RS BV (1.0) on the non citaion variants. I hope you understand my SPECIAL englischhhhh ;).Greeting --Doneve 18:24, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

If I understand you, there are several AeroSpace Fighters that have variants. You've been adding the battle value from Record Sheets: 3039 to the appropriate pages. There are many articles that provide a BV (1.0) value you can't verify because there isn't a reference/citation listing the source. Is that right?--Mbear 18:55, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Absolutly, when no citation on the variant i add the RS 3039, it is better as nothing, and it is cannon.--Doneve 19:23, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Well, if you have the BV (1.0) values and the article doesn't list them, by all means put them in place. Go forth! Edit! Be Bold!

If they're BV (2.0) values, that's fine too. Just mark them as BV (2.0) or BV (1.0) and put in the correct values. Go forth! Edit! Be Bold!--Mbear 20:03, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Okidoky, ;), I BOLDED ;) the coffee machine is upgraded.--Doneve 20:17, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Writing up a Mauser & Gray Firearms article

Hi Mbear, I recently noted the deletion of the Mauser & Gray article. I'm going write up one using the info from the information from the Handbook: House Steiner. Do you have any objectives about this since you deleted the old one? Hate see that logo goto waste. -- Wrangler 15:48, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Not at all. The reason I deleted the old article was that it was a sub-stub that only had your logo on it. Make a good article and I'll be happy. Good luck!--Mbear 15:51, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

SLDF Military Regions

Hoolla, good work about the military regions :). I think a category link is helpfull. Hmm do you like Star League Military Regions...or a little bit specified (era, periode, date...)?.--17:14, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Well thanks! I've added the category you suggested to each page. I didn't put the year/era info in the category because as far as I know the Military Region was restricted to the first SLDF. (The second SLDF didn't last long enough to require it.)--Mbear 17:22, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
