*You do bring up a good point. The only issue I find is that a lot of people don't know how to table edit. Hell, a lot don't know where to even begin! I created this page as an alternate route of flying ships that you normally can not. If you create another page detailing how to table edit, then include a few bits from this page and delete the rest. It isn't completed yet, but I am nearing completion.

**I'm terribly sorry but I don't see the logic behind this page. Creating a ship using only FRED gives very bad gameplay results, and while it might be a novelty for new FREDders I doubt any veteran-member would actually care for such a thing, especially in the painfully basic way it is explained here. Don't mean to be a wet blanket or anything, but I don't see any reason why this should stay on the Wiki, at least not in its current form. - [[User:Snail|Snail]] 21:35, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

***I know, but it is trick that people can do with FRED. Flying as a capital ships isn't creating a new ship in FRED. All it is, is a change from the original things that we can control. I know I disgrace people from doing it because it is on the actual page itself. It is saying that you shouldn't really fly as these ships as it just boggs down gameplay. I put how to do it so that people could try it and relize how crappy flying one of those things is. I am not trying to upset you or prove you wrong in every way, I just want you to understand.

Is this really appropriate for the Wiki? - Snail 12:58, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

  • Isn't there a much simpler way using tables? (I never tried it myself) - TopAce 14:35, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
    • It deals with FREDing doesn't it? It is something that can introduce a whole new style of playing. And I also wasn't finished with it yet. grunt minion22 11:20am, 21 June 2009
      • If you're not finished just save it to a text file, then upload the whole lot in one go. - Snail 18:15, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

This should be deleted or combined with another article. There's no reason to use this trick when you can make yourself fly a capital ship pretty easily with table editing. However, an article on why it's not practical to fly capital ships would be a great idea! General Battuta 05:38, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
