[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Just added the file shiptext2.zip, which is an update containing some mass figures and corrected attributions. Unfortunately, Flareupload won't accept overwrites, so this could get real ugly pretty soon - I don't want to send shiptext47.zip just to add a single new ship entry to shiptext46.zip... :mad: What's the simplest way to get older versions deleted? Does only Charles have the rights? I'm doing the masses by claiming that pre-24th century ship masses were traditionally given without including warp coil mass. It's pretty easy to do this to SotSF or FASA ships, since their given (hull) masses usually roughly correspond to the volumetrics - but it may look a bit odd that a Derf, which is basically a two-nacelled Larson, actually masses twice as much as the single-nacelled version! SFC ships require more work, as I cannot accept that a Baton Rouge hull would have half the mass of the smaller Constitution hull - so generally, I often add the first digit the original author "forgot to type", turning 90,000 tons to 190,000. Still, there are some ships for which I don't have even the noncanon hull masses. Does anybody know how much a Detroyat weighs? Or a Caracal? Or a Durance? If not, I'd love to get volumetric estimates assuming the density you get for a nacelle-less Constitution that masses 171,000 tons. (Perhaps this density should decrease by 10% for every passing century, due to materials tech advances?) Also, anybody have any data on the Almeida cruiser/transport? The original blueprints, copies of them, notes of them? What the heck did this ship look like? Finally, I'm all for guest entries - if there's a ship you wish to add, especially in the TNG genre, I'll shamelessly plug it in and include a really really tiny note of the source in the entry. :) Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
