Does having B5 make it fair to have Farscape? FS.
Or any of the Star trek series?
ST:TNG, Star Trek The Next Generation
ST:V, Star Trek Voyager
ST SP, Star Trek Deep Space Nine
ST:E, Star Trek Enterprise
ST:TOS, Star Trek The Original Series
Don't ask me why I'm submitting all these. They aren't even THAT related to SEIV.

Those are the easy ones.
Anybody with the ones I missed?

Umm... it would be much better to use the actual acromnyms that the game uses for ship sizes, instead of an external mechanism.
Hey, you missed B5!!! Can't forget Babylon 5.
Fyron...you make a good point about using the acronyms which SE4 uses.
I have misplaced my manual...can anyone post the SE4 acronyms?

Re: Acronym Dictionary
Look in Vehiclesize.txt for the line that says Code for each vehicle.

That's what that stands for. I never knew and I guess I never really wondered. Wow, I'm amazed.

Re: Acronym Dictionary
Here are real MM ship desginations in order of size
ES
FG (some call it a FF anyway)
DS (although everyone calls it a DD)
LC
CR
BC
BB
DN
BA (baseship)
LX (light carrier)
CX (carrier, some use CVL)
HX
SS (space station)
BS
SB (starbase)
CL (colony ship
ST, MT, LT (transports)
FS, FM, FL (fighters)
SS,SM, SL (sats)
SM, MM, LM (mines)
TS, TM, TL (troops)
WS, WM, WL (wep plats)
RS, RM, RL (drones)
O and on the Encyclopedia Malfadorica, taken right of Foundation no doubt, that sounds daunting, we recently passed the 80k mark. I think that is waht people have been trying unsuccesfully for a long time. But to categorize all the good and bad ideas, strategies, OT discussions, you're looking at a full times staff of an ENTIRE PLANET (well not really but im thinking of Terminus).
So long and please ignore my OT ramblings.
also add IIRC IMO IMHO
