The New And Improved Scammers/Looters List (Updated 12/17/08)

After much feedback I have completely redone the Scammers/Looters list. Please check it out and let me know via the Discussion page what you think. ~ Danger

Spoiler Warning

Added a spoiler warning to those who would prefer to find out stuff the hard way. As for our devoted (and/or really lazy) users, feel free to hijack information from the site. ~ Gamer

Price Check

There is an underused page on this wiki: Price Check. I dont keep it updated myself, because i dont know a lot of price checks, but a lot of items are missing, and i feel like it could be very useful if kept updated and if it was filled out. Come on guys, give it a hand ;) -Simon 22:36, 10 June 2008 (PDT)

New sortings and updates

Ok, i finally got around to doing it... I resorted and filled in from my spreadsheet all the missing stuff on the Shields, Drones, and Radars pages. Have fun! Still trying to tweak the drones page so it doesn't look like the wiki threw up. Theres just so many stats >_< I don't even know where to begin putting the gear for drones, prolly a separate page. Anywayz, back to work ;) -Simon 07:45, 5 April 2008 (PDT)

New Sidebar

I added a most viewed section to the navigation bar on the left side of the wiki. It has the pages that are clearly used more than all the rest, for ease of use. :) -Simon 21:01, 10 March 2008 (PDT)

<=== that bar

Uni Reset

Just some geewhiz info...the universe will reset on Sat, 22 March 2008 at noon PST. Check the SS Forums....Heather

For those that don't know what this implies, see Universe Reset. -Simon 05:58, 9 March 2008 (PDT)

Ok, fixed...

I promise, everything should be fixed now. I even got the elusive broken image thumbnails working. If anyone notices anything still not working send me a message here, in the SS forums or have Simon send me an e-mail. Thanks, 15:58, 16 February 2008 (PST)

Wanted Pages

Ok, I sorted through all the wanted pages, fixed links that were unneeded and duplicate pages. The list of wanted pages currently shows only useful pages that have empty links. So go wild and fill in some pages. As a reminder for ship pages, please follow the format indicated on Example Ship Page. Have fun! -Simon 09:41, 29 January 2008 (PST)

Takin a break :(

At the end of the week, I will be takin a break from star sonata until the spring semester is over. Playing SS during class is not good for grades...

Anyways... I'll be back in the summer after finals are over. I hope that by the time I get back, all the neato new DM auras and augs will be reasonably available and priced, and CLIENT 2 WILL BE DONE AND READY FOR MY RETURN!!!!!

I probably will check in on the forums and wiki from time to time tho. Don't burn down the wiki while im gone. ;)

-Simon 18:37, 9 January 2008 (PST)

New Features

The blacklist and a captcha have been installed. This should take care of the bulk of the spam issues we've been having. I also fixed a bug with Google analytics not working properly. That should take care of all of the little things that I wanted to do... if anyone has any feature they want added, let me know. ArrowHate 11:04, 15 December 2007 (PST)

• I just added the ability to embed YouTube videos in articles. For example, check out Biologique. See Template:Youtube for details on how to do this. Oh, yes, we can add other video services if anyone wants. ArrowHate 20:38, 15 December 2007 (PST)
• Thumbnails are broken... and I have no idea why. I'll keep looking into it and hopefully I'll have some resolution soon. ArrowHate 13:25, 5 January 2008 (PST)

Write a Story about a Ship!

The cosmos is calling you, young padawan... or rather I am requesting for your imagination to be put to use. I am looking forward to making a Flash Series and submitting it to NewGrounds.com when I get time in a few weeks/months... Star Sonata being at the heart of the theme. My idea is to get the whole community involved (or at least those which want to get involved) by allowing you to add to the story or even define it! You can smack your keyboard away at this thread on the official forums. -Sicuro 10:46, 14 December 2007 (CST)

Sortable Tables

With the upgraded wiki, we can now sort tables :D check out the ships page to see what i mean. -Simon 15:18, 9 December 2007 (PST)

Upgrade done...

Ok, we are now using Mediawiki 1.11.0. I'm going to be adding some features to make life easier - keep a look out here for more info. ArrowHate 08:50, 9 December 2007 (PST)

Upgrade coming soon!

Well, after much delay I have convinced my host to upgrade us to PHP5. Once it's active it should be easy to upgrade to the newest version of MediaWiki... for those not following along: this means we can wave goodbye to the spam with a new fancy link blacklist.... and we can add all sorts of goodies. ArrowHate 18:57, 7 December 2007 (PST)

Brand New Stats

There are a ton of new stats since the new skills have been put in. So everyone feel free to help update, or the wiki wont be correct until they change everything again anyway. When you do update something, plz put a comment next to the item, or in the comments column stating that it was updated. For instance in the Augmenters section, if something doesnt match the stats currently on that Exc Combo aug u have, fix the stats, and put --Updated after it. Thank you for your time and patience. -Simon 12:35, 15 November 2007 (PST)

Sicuro Custom Images

Although unofficial to the game itself, I have made my main Gallery on Lyceum Archives for most of my customized ship images. You can access them by simply visiting my page. Due to the fact that the new client is on the verge of completion and is merely waiting on a Graphical Engineer/Concept artist to make some 300+ models, I am not going to overdue myself on images but, I hope you enjoy the few I have thrown up. You can join discussion and/or suggest ideas for new custom ships by visiting this threadon the official forums.

Peace

Sicuro

Check out new skill web

Here it is in chart form! Feel free to make a better one if you dare :) Focus Skills -Simon 17:46, 18 October 2007 (PDT)

New skills are in coming

New skills are coming in soon, probably within the next month. A lot of help will be needed to get the correct stats for them due to the balancing that will happen. I will get what focuses, skills and tertiary skills I can off test, and add them to the skills page over the next few days. All these skills are still only on test so expect alot of changes, but this will get the groundwork done. Thanks--Nargos

New Story Section

I just added a new stories section to go along with the new Role Playing section of the SS forums. Its under the Category:Misc>Stories

Spambot attacks

I've seen one page thats been hit by a spambot, if anyone sees a page with links, don't click them and please either tell Simon, Arrowhate, or myself.

UPDATE

I am actually going to update all of the gear lists >_< . Weapons are almost done, i dont know how i did it. Shields i am working on, but i added a few stats of my own. Also working on shields, energies, engines, radars, cloaks, diffusers, parasites, drones, ships, and auras. Engines need an update since the patch a few months ago. Drones recently received a big change in resists. The rest are missing descriptions and weights, things like that. So look forward to seeing all these new stats. :D -Simon 12:32, 12 July 2007 (PDT)

P.S. I would like to have comments on sortings of all gear lists, do you like how they are now? Do you want a different sorting? some of the sortings I personally find extremely silly, but that may be just me. Leave comments here.

Leave those comments in discussion I'll clear it out so people can discus without cluttering the place up.

New Scoops

We would like to ask you to check out and please update the new scoops that have been added in. They are under Items > Scoops or here.

You too can help!

I just wanted to put a reminder out that you dont need to have an account to make an addition, anyone should feel free to help update this wiki at any time. If you do plan to make more changes, please create an account by clicking the Log in/create account link at the top right of any page. It takes only a few minutes, and it allows us to give credit where it's due and keep in touch with people who make edits. Thank you. - Simon 15:39, 22 May 2007 (PDT)

Updates

I spent some time re-arranging the front page, if you are looking for something that would normally be under the main links click on Misc. and look around there. Peter_The_Puller 16:48, 15 May 2007 (PDT)

• I've also noticed the server having slight problems, if you are having problems loading then you should wait 5 minutes and try again.

Upgrading

I'm planning on doing some upgrades tonight at some point. I've made a database backup in case anything goes wrong. If everything goes smoothly, then there won't be any downtime. ArrowHate 12:33, 29 April 2007 (PDT)

Stats of Augs

Currently the stats are incorrect. We are working on it.

Yurble 17:12, 11 April 2007 (EST)

Signatures

Please do not use signatures in a Wiki page: it is unnecessary and breaks up the page. Signatures and personal comments should be kept to the "discussion" tab of the topic, the news/announcements, and your personal page only.

Nuro 15:57, 10 April 2007 (EST)

A bit inactive...

Sorry everyone for how inactive I've become. I'm basically quit Star Sonata. No worries, I'll continue to pay for this domain and the hosting and I'll still be available for any technical support the site might need.

I'd like to find someone who would be willing to take over the leadership of the site. The job requires dedication and the ability to promote the website to aid in it's continued growth. Technical experience in wiki-code is helpful, but not required. Good organizational skills are a must.

3. Illustrations are fine, but won’t figure into the judging.
4. No longer then 2000 words (It’s about 3 pages at size 12 font). This rule is more a guideline then a disqualifier… but if you send me something 20 pages long I won’t read it… unless it’s Card/Mccaffrey/Niven quality.

Judging Criteria:

• Originality (uniqueness)

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page.

-- ArrowHate 09:02, 26 August 2006 (PDT)

Outage

As many have noticed, the wiki was down for a day. Not sure why yet, but it was the fault of my host. Looks like they have it sorted out now, so no worries. I do do regular backups so even if data was lost, it wouldn't have been all of it. Cheers,

-- ArrowHate 19:28, 23 August 2006 (PDT)

The register...

Calypso has stepped up to take over the register with his unique style. Along with his creation of dozens of star-system articles, his contribution to this project is amazing. Thanks Caly!

-- ArrowHate 14:00, 17 August 2006 (PDT)

The fate of the Register...

Unfortunately Takuhi has quit Star Sonata and won't likely be updating The Register. In light of that I'd like to request a volunteer to write occasional articles for us. Basically the goal is to recap current events in Star Sonata. Updates and the reactions to those updates and perhaps other news like new teams, wars, team breakups, etc. It would be a great place for those who can't follow the forum to keep up with whats going on. Drop me a message on my talk page or in game if your interested.

-- ArrowHate 13:53, 8 August 2006 (PDT)

Progress...

A huge amount of progress has been made lately. I'm quite proud of what this site is becoming. Over 184 article, 60 images and 1600+ edits! (stats} I'm quite amazed... but were not done yet. Quite a few permanent Star Systems lack articles and were still in need of many item stats. I know everyone is busy with the coming new uni, but I know we can get some good work done in the meantime. Great job everyone!

-- ArrowHate 13:53, 8 August 2006 (PDT)

The Lyceum Editorials

The much awaited Lyceum Editorials has launched! Dislike something about the game? Want to share that new tactic you learned? Want to share your opinion on particular issue? Then we want you! Check out the new editorial section of The Lyceum Register.

-- ArrowHate 12:59, 24 July 2006 (PDT)

The Lyceum Register

I am proud to present the new launch of The Lyceum Register. Takuhi has volunteered to keep us all up to date on the big Star Sonata news with a semi-weekly update. If you've got your own big news, write an article and post it up. Try to keep it in a news worthy tone however... or it will get edited without mercy. :)

In addition, I've also setup the Lyceum Classifieds. Check out The Register to add your buy/sell request. This is kind of a trial run to see if the system needs any tweeks.

Coming soon: Editorial section

-- ArrowHate 13:23, 14 July 2006 (PDT)

New Images

New charchter and Calypso both responded to a recent call for new images in an exemplary fashion! We now have screenshots for almost all of the star systems. The whole gallery of images can be found here. --ArrowHate 11:25, 10 July 2006 (PDT)

Announcing new Main Page!

The new design is here. Please let me know what you think on talk:Main Page --Admin 14:07, 3 July 2006 (PDT)

Many thanks

Much thanks goes out to Calypso for his creation of many articles on the permanent star systems! It's a great start for the project. --Admin 14:07, 3 July 2006 (PDT)
