<h2 style="text-align:left">Ship Appearance</h2> | <h2 style="text-align:left">Ship Appearance</h2> | ||
This section is where you describe the exterior and interior appearance of the ship, preferably in detail. The reason why detail is preferred is that not all pages on ships may have a complete set of images; a detailed description of the appearance can help the reader visualize what the ship looks like if the page has incomplete images. Some ships may barely have an interior or none at all; if this is the case, simply state as such and give a brief description of what the interior looks like. When describing the exterior of a ship, at least describe the profiling of the ship, as well as its size; and if applicable, note any unique appearance the ship has. | This section is where you describe the exterior and interior appearance of the ship, preferably in detail.

<h2 style="text-align:left">Ship Advantages</h2> | |||
This section is somewhat self-explanatory; describe the advantages the ship has for its class, or in comparison to comparable ships. For example, let's say you were making an edit to the [[Andromeda]] page, and noticed that you could add an advantage that isn't already on the page, such as "This ship has very high [[Spinal Weaponry|spinal]] firepower, more than almost every other ship in its class." Remember, '''do not''' put your opinions in your edits; as tempting as it may be if you already have experience using or fighting against the ship in-game (the same goes for the related below section). | |||
<h2 style="text-align:left">Ship Disadvantages</h2> | |||
Similar to the section beforehand, except you are describing the ship's disadvantages for its class or compared to other ships. For example, if you were editing the [[Judgement]] page with a disadvantage related to poor damage output over time, you might put something like this: "While it has hard-hitting armament, the ship has poor DPS" (Note: "DPS" stands for Damage Per Second. Preferably, avoid using abbreviations unless necessary [in this case, substitute "DPS" for "damage output"]). Additionally, traits of a ship that may not be statistically related such as [[Turrets|turret]] line-of-sight (or "LoS", for short), size, and profile may be necessary to include as disadvantages or advantages; depending on if it is a benefit or a detriment to the performance of the ship for its class or role. | |||
<h2 style="text-align:left">Ship Review</h2> | |||
This section is where you sum up everything about the ship so far and review it. However, when reviewing a ship, it is important to remember that <span style="color:yellow"><u>reviews of any ship are based on statistics, not opinion</u></span>. What exactly might you put for a review, you may ask; and the answer to that is anything related to the ship's performance, ability, role, and so on that is based off an evaluation of the ship's statistics. Remember to compare the ship to a similar ship of type or class, if applicable. To see an example of a properly done ship review, see the [[Prototype X-1]] page. | |||
<h2 style="text-align:left">Ship Strategy/Tactics</h2> | |||
This section is where you should describe (in detail) the strategies or tactics that work best with the ship. Since figuring out strategy or tactics for a ship cannot always be done to the best ability with statistics alone, try using the ship yourself first and experiment to see what works best. In the case that you cannot do that, it is acceptable to add strategy or tactics with the information available to you. For example: "The [[Judgement]], similar to the [[Astraeus]], is best at hit-and-run tactics when using the ship offensively." | |||
<h2 style="text-align:left">Version History</h2> | |||
This section goes for all pages about in-game entities, but this section is for recording any changes that happen (in detail or taken directly from the Galaxy Discord update log channel), and in what game version they occurred. If you for some reason are unable to determine exactly in what version a change occurred, take your best guess '''and clearly mark it with a question mark (?)'''. Otherwise, if you have no idea; specify as such when listing the change (examples: "Top speed increased from 50 to 75 in an unknown version.", "Shield health reduced from 11,000 HP to 10,000 HP in version '''(?)'''."). | |||
