Given that half of the information about ships is scattered around threads and wikis, I think making one place to collect it is a good idea. Like so.

Name: Assertor Class

Super laser: Yes (1 exaton)

Crew: 250,000
Acceleration: 2750g
Maneuverability: Low
Fighter Complement: 24 wings (3,456 fighters)

Assertor doesnt have a supler laser? Also 22BBY? Its a clone wars design?

Assertor was supposed to be a post-shadow hand ship, and it does have a superlaser.

Where are you getting this from?

Jane's and other similar publications normally write a few paragraphs explaining the context of a ship's creation, construction, and use in combat. That is arguably more important to have on hand than a big pile of random statistics of uncertain providence.

(emphasis added)

You're going to want to note where you get them from, and any firepower numbers are going to require calcs upon request. Just vomiting 'x biggatons' isn't going to be taken seriously by anybody.

It's a laudable initiative, mind you, but it needs to be broader and better cited.

The stats were fractal's as best as I could gather. It's easier for movie ships, of course.

A one-sentence blurb doesn't really address the issue.

If you don't feel up to writing a few paragraphs about a ship and what it gets used for, you probably shouldn't be doing this. Because without that, it's just a big slab of "blargh biggatons" that doesn't mean anything to anyone.

...so you're throwing up stats for fan creations now? Granted Fractal is about as good as you can get and his stuff has even been made canon on occasion, which is nice, and this ship is technically his version of a ship from the canon, but it's still going to get called a fan creation for all that.

Don't get me wrong. If someone wants to debate an Assertor vs. a Galaxy Class or something, that's one thing, and it's nice to have the stats for that.

Most debate however tends to concern ships from the canon, particularly the movies, and it would be better to have those first. Just my .02$.

This isn't really for versus debates.

Well, what's your point, then? Why do this versus just popping over to Wookiee? (not being argumentative, just a honest question)

Wookiee is less complete, and often excludes old ICS numbers.

Does this serve any specific, definite purpose?

If I had to guess I'd say Rhadamantus wants all the performance data for Wars ships gathered in a single place.
