Formatting

Yow. I'm thinking we need to take a look into alternate formatting options for those tables. --Eabrace 01:39, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

What about something like this. I imagine someone with more wiki-fu could cleanup the formatting but I think this illustrates the basic idea. CmdrAdeon 01:47, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Like I said in the edit comment, it was just a quickie. As in, for example. Just to get information in there for display. ~ AGGE talk/cons 05:47, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm a fan of this layout. It manages to incorporate all of the info in Layout 1 and provide it in an "at-a-glance" format. Just one question: are those icons extracted/copied from the web site or taken from screenshots (as in, do we need to grab cleaner versions when we we can?) --Eabrace 00:01, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Yes. I saved the Alpha Slot Boost images from the website, and then for rarity I photoshopped them into different colors. We need better images for the bases once they're available. I saved them from the website, which is built for a black background, so they look kind of trashy against a white background. The fraction pies and cross/check marks I made myself out of public domain clip-art. (Just noticed I forgot to give the fraction pies a transparent background...) ~ AGGE talk/cons 00:17, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

I like it, it covers the basics and we can easily expand it to include the crafting requirements when those become known. My only quibble would by the ED bypass symbols. I can understand them since I know what the values already are but for someone not familiar with the system I think they'd be confusing. I would suggest just putting text there rather than pictures, I think it'll be less confusing. CmdrAdeon 00:40, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Added text to the images similar to the Pri/Sec/Ter trailing amounts. ~ AGGE talk/cons 00:46, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
