Questioning whether it's worth while to copy the 1994 text here? Rather than just a placeholder? A placeholder would be better I think. [[User:Spike|Spike]] 08:34, 23 September 2012 (EDT)
:I just thought it was a quick and dirty way to start pages and later it can be edited. What is a placeholder? [[User:Hobbes|Hobbes]] 08:55, 23 September 2012 (EDT)
::Ah ok, fair enough. Quick and dirty it is! A placeholder would be a stub, something that says "insert text here", that kind of thing. Maybe I will get off my backside and make one, instead of just complaining. ;) [[User:Spike|Spike]] 17:00, 23 September 2012 (EDT)
:::Ah, just didn't knew the term. Well seems OK to me when you have no idea of what text to put, but since the the new game will replicate most pages of the old one I'd really like to start setting up 'skeleton' pages, already following some basic wiki guidelines to ease up work later, and that's why I based this page on the old one - I don't really care about content right but rather to set the basic structure. [[User:Hobbes|Hobbes]] 17:22, 23 September 2012 (EDT)
:::: I hope you are ok with my effort. If not feel free to revert, edit, etc. And thanks for all the work you are putting in to the 'editorial control' of the 2012 content. [[User:Spike|Spike]] 17:37, 23 September 2012 (EDT)

== Abductors ==

The page currently says that you'll need an upgraded interceptor with laser or plasma to take these out. However, I can go one on one using a standard interceptor with Avalanche missiles and take it out, without any of the one-time boosts. I don't want to change it in the fear that it might just be a fluke. I'm on normal when I do this, I can't remember how I did on classic.

I managed to take one Abductor down with an unboosted standard interceptor as well; but that was one lucky shot, 0,1 seconds left and about 99% damage on my interceptor. So gotta be lucky to do so.

:Similar thing happened with me and a Battleship. A standard interceptor with a plasma managed to take it out, although it was close and I had to burn some boosts to do so. [[User:COL Tatticky|COL Tatticky]] 03:43, 15 October 2012 (EDT)

== Ship Classes ==

I don't think there's a "Medium Scout", only a Small and a Large. Small ones are one-room, and Large have about half a dozen rooms. Also, between Abductors and Battleships there's a "Supply Ship" class. The Overseer and Temple Ship might deserve at least brief mention here as well (even though you never actually intercept the latter). [[User:COL Tatticky|COL Tatticky]] 03:51, 15 October 2012 (EDT)

I don't think there's a "Medium Scout", only a Small and a Large. Small ones are one-room, and Large have one medium-sized room plus a few smaller ones. Also, between Abductors and Battleships there's a "Supply Ship" class. The Overseer and Temple Ship might deserve at least brief mention here as well (even though you never actually intercept the latter). [[User:COL Tatticky|COL Tatticky]] 03:51, 15 October 2012 (EDT)

COL Tatticky:

Fleshed out the remaining battle types with similar information to the missions that were already described. There are two listed as "Spoiler". I'm not sure if these are placeholders for actual missions or just in case more space was needed. --[[User:PixelOrange|PixelOrange]] 08:03, 14 October 2012 (EDT)
:It's for the special missions like assaultin the alien base. But we're still deciding on how to manage the spoilers [[User:Hobbes|Hobbes]] 08:38, 14 October 2012 (EDT)
::Perhaps a separate page titled "Special Missions", with a spoiler warning next to the link? [[User:COL Tatticky|COL Tatticky]] 03:40, 15 October 2012 (EDT)
