How many are left...

That still edit/add to the wiki? Only people I've seen updating things is you.

New host...

Hi Simon... I'm fairly close to getting a new website host. There might be some downtime when I make the switch while the DNS info updates everywhere. I'll let you know more when I am able. ArrowHate 15:48, 30 July 2007 (PDT)

Yeah, in theory. ArrowHate 09:55, 4 August 2007 (PDT)

hey where do you buy ships of space blue alphas?

players make them, the bp drops from Barbe Bleu and Topaz Eye Jimmy. -Simon 19:09, 17 March 2008 (PDT)

wiki programs

Where can i get the programs you use liek word to wiki etc?? --Primetime on wheels256 18:56, 7 August 2007 (PDT)

Weird comment

I just got a message on my page and it seems a guy named Sicuro has made a new logo, its pretty cool you can go look at it. Peter_The_Puller

And I know you have ArrowHates number, if in 1 week he hasn't responded to my comment on his talk page can you call him?

I don't have his number, tho i should... but anyway, even tho i like the picture, i dont think that it fits with the theme and name of the website. The lyceum archives are a greek thing, and a pic of a greek building covers it pretty well. I would like to use that pic for mebbe a screenshot section tho. -Simon 05:16, 25 August 2007 (PDT)

Spam

Radars was spammed as well as was the articles in the Fiction category. I removed the spam. --User:72.73.209.6 08:26, 26 August 2007 (PDT)

It might be a good idea to not allow anonymous people to modify wiki pages considering the amounts of spam recently and the fact that generally the same people modify the wiki pages properly, anyway.

well i like not having to make people log in to edit, see the fact that you were not logged in when u wrote this... But also, i would have to do it page by page. I do make it so that people have to log in on pages that do not need editing often but get a lot of spam, i am slowly making the conversion on pages that receive a lot of spam and not a lot of edits. -Simon 12:12, 30 August 2007 (PDT)

I was using the wrong computer to post Peter_The_Puller

you can log in from any computer btw. -Simon 14:15, 31 August 2007 (PDT)

Wanted Pages

I'm going to work on adding Wanted pages as well as relinking links to their proper locations. I need to remove unneccesary user IP Address links first, considering how many links there are to simply unregistered user pages; its just annoying me. Once that is done, the Wanted Pages list should have actual wanted pages. The ones with improper linking I can relink, then I will start adding new pages. --Nuro 09:47, 31 August 2007 (PDT)

Ship Images

Many ships are currently using the default PNG image in the spaceships folder of Star Sonata. I was thinking of personally getting all in-game screenshots and cropping them down to the actual ship: in-game ships can have modified hues, animations, particle effects, et cetera that vary from their basic image file. Plus, I think it would look more interseting than having just the ship pointing toward the right upon a black/white/grey background. --Nuro 13:00, 31 August 2007 (PDT)

Sounds fantastic to me, but i would like to have them all pointing towards the bottom right if possible, its a nice angle, and all the pax ship screenies i took are going that way, cept one >8-( anyways, go for it, and feel free to post em.

K, I guess I can start off with the Copper Blob when it eventually decides it wants to spawn. --Nuro 15:27, 31 August 2007 (PDT)

RE: Stories

I was trying to fix some of the things up but I jsut gave up and posted links to everything.

If you could it would look nice if you got rid of the ones that have Fiction: and Essay: in front of it because it just looks stupid (Put them into different areas?)

Spammer

86.152.172.170 is Spamming tons of pages for no reason. I copied the next most recent versions of the ones he modified to remove the spam, but you'll need to delete the retarded articles he made. --Nuro 09:57, 16 September 2007 (PDT)

i usually fix spam within a day or so, thanks a bunch for fixing what he deleted and screwed up. i can undo, delete and block for the rest of it :) -Simon 09:37, 17 September 2007 (PDT)

Can we just get Arrow to stop unregistered users from posting? I know some people hate having to log in but then they won't get pissed off by the spamming too Peter_The_Puller

I personally think that it might be a good idea to do so. However, if it is not wished for users to be required to create an account to edit, Arrow needs to at least implement some form of denial of edit if one attempts to add greater than 40 external links to the page. Pretty much, if a user attempts to submit the page with greater than 40 external links (spambots generally do in the 70-120 link range) that specific edit it denied, and potentially the editor is informed that he or she must reduce the number of links in the page. --Nuro 12:15, 7 November 2007 (PST)

It's a bit better controlled in the newer versions of mediawiki. Unfortunately I'm not realy in a great position to upgrade to a better version due to some stupid restrictions from the host of this website. ArrowHate 21:17, 3 December 2007 (PST)

Ok, the blacklist has been enabled and I've copied the list of websites that wikipedia blocks. If any spam slips though let me know and I'll make some adjustments. ArrowHate 10:37, 9 December 2007 (PST)

Fantastic!! -Simon 14:48, 9 December 2007 (PST)

Sigh... I've added the domains from the spammer we just got. ArrowHate 09:11, 13 December 2007 (PST)

Ok, adding a Captcha extension. This should stop nearly any spam-bot out there. ArrowHate 09:30, 13 December 2007 (PST)

Admins...

shoot me an email if you want to give anyone else admin access. ArrowHate 14:46, 4 November 2007 (PST)

Rhino

You do NOT want to get a Rhino. Rhino might have more hull, but resists are EXTREMELY weak (only around 35%+ to most things compared to the 55%+ on Paxes) and it is much slower. The small built-in boosts to shields can be obtained on a Pax+ for about the same cost, but without the horrid resists and slow speed. --Nuro 18:34, 5 November 2007 (PST)

I have one on test for mah dm, and its cool, its got lots of hull, and it gives +drone ops :D

Skills

It would be better, in my opinion, to rename the old Class Skills to [insert skill name here] (Old) and simply rename the new Class Skills to their actual names. --Nuro 10:51, 9 November 2007 (PST)

Thumbnails

Thumbnails are currently not working. Do you have any contact information for Arrowhate so he can be informed of the issue? --Nuro 09:26, 26 January 2008 (PST)

OK, thanks for the response. Good to hear he knows about it already. --Nuro 13:14, 26 January 2008 (PST)

LULZ: Music

Heh, some guy on a forum I go on made this song. Its pretty sweet: techno music with a few Portal lines and a bunch of quotes from a Fox News article mixed into the middle (article related). Wouldn't surprise me if the guy was high when he made this: 'So I herd u liek music (Insurgency) V2.1' (10MB, 6:47). --Nuro 18:31, 27 January 2008 (PST)

Re: LULZ: Music -- Simon 19:00, 27 January 2008 (PST)

XD i just watched the vids you posted on the forum, nice. was in the middle of the last mario one when u posted this. LOL i love the portal bits.

SPAM and inappropriate content

Could we get a ban on 67.259.45.99? --Nuro 08:23, 20 February 2008 (PST)

Done. -Simon 14:06, 20 February 2008 (PST)

I've added the domain to the spam blacklist. ArrowHate 19:25, 22 February 2008 (PST)

Engine Blueprints?

Is it just me, or is the Engine Blueprints section really missing from Blueprints area? :) --Thaj

yeh, it wasn't there, i made it all better ;) also put in a base solar panels page. When i made the blueprints page, there were just so many that i knew i was forgetting some. thanks :) -Simon 09:26, 12 March 2008 (PDT)

Capital Lasers

Working on the next one right now. I added the t16 Capital Armageddon Laser Prototype to the weapons list. Next should be done in about 1 month. --Nuro 17:41, 25 March 2008 (PDT)

Hi Simon!

I don't know if you've noticed but as I not only use tla but also try to contribute to it, filling in stats of, mostly f2p, items.

I want to use this issue to thank you a lot for all the efforts you put herein and the info you provide in the forum. Tla are the "missing manual"/documentation Starsonata needs so desperatly - especially for beginning players.

I have to things in mind for some time which I would like to discuss with you:

First: Rouding of decimal numbers; Especeally with the new layout of the Shield page it becomes obvious that rounding should be reduced to at least 2 decimals after the colon. Also this won't affect really comparing two item or the exact calculation, which would be calculated based on the original stats anyway.

If you agree I would in time just cut down the decimals so we would have 1.48 instead of 1.481481481

Second: A more complicated matter is that I would like to add a colum with tracking to the weapon page: it should be noted which type of tracking (or aiming) a weap posseses: e.g.: full turreted for HTL, half turreted (or 180°) for Voltage laser, missile weap like Magcan to not steal too much of you're time I think the basic of this idea is clear. I did put some thought into the classification of the different weapon types which I would like to discuss with you if you're interested at all in this issue

with best regards Utumno

Player Shops -- Zocon 11:10, 17 June 2008 (PDT)

Would it be possible to have a section for shop locations. I have a list on the Storm Knights team page but its difficult to maintain. Putting one on wiki would make it much easier, everyone could add to the list.

theres one on the forums --Simon 10:46, 22 June 2008 (PDT)

Uni specific information. -- Thaj 00:01, 1 July 2008 (PDT)

I think we need certain way to quickly find Uni specific information for maintenance/administration purposes. Like those skill locations that change from uni to uni. (Some skill pages have temporary location tables.) I was wandering if we could do group "page containing temporary information" or tag or something for it. This way temporary information could be removed fast when uni changes. Thus resulting to easier maintenance and more reliable information. Any thoughts? --Thaj 00:01, 1 July 2008 (PDT)

yeh i was thinking of that, i just gotta remember how to do it without haveing it show anything on the page. Gimme a bit and i'll have something up. -Simon 04:22, 1 July 2008 (PDT)

spoiler -- Churchill 11:37, 26 September 2008 (PDT)

what's with this spoiler thing? i rely on the info TLA have for skill planning so i dont spend several days figuring out how to get skills up.
