Of all the WarShip tags for Great Houses, only "Lyran WarShips" does not have the complete name of the realm. This distinction is intentional: it allows us to group WarShips used by both the Lyran Commonwealth and Lyran Alliance. Does anyone disagree?--S.gage
- I disagree. The Lyran state is changing its name alot. It will be the devil adding more and more categorying listing particular ships to use of the Commonwealth, Alliance and then Commonwealth again, god knows what else in the future. Just keep it Lyran WarShips to keep it simplified. There not going be alot more WarShips any how so why make over detailed? -- Wrangler 13:12, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
- You mean you agree, we should leave Lyran WarShips as Lyran WarShips to avoid separate categories for Lyran Commonwealth WarShips and Lyran Alliance WarShips, etc. :)--S.gage

Faction Categories - Manufactured vs Deployed
Bit of a divide, we have some which list just classes manufactured and deployed by that faction, others which list class deployed by the faction. Which to favor? No objection to deployed rather than manufactured, but ships like the Aegis have been deployed by all factions save the Periphery states so is going to be very weighed down with categories.

- This is a touch question, also one I have considered for a while. I don't have a good answer. My rule of thumb so far has been three factors: who constructed the class, who received the majority of the production (past, present, etc.), and who (if anyone) has produced variants.
- However, I would be just fine with who deploys the vessel and who designed/constructed the vessel - it seems easiest. Personally, I use categories as a quick reference for determining if a unit is used by a faction, and listing every faction for the Aegis-class would be helpful. The only problem I see could be listing individual Clans, or factions who have inherited vessels, including Comstar and the WoB. Would you list the Tharkad-class as a WoB WarShip? Personally, I would not.--S.gage
