Hi, first of all: Thank you for your wonderful Website that has helped me countless Times by now.
I am especially glad to see the ship database being back an rolling.
Just one question: Could you also include a column for "Missile Launcher Slots" so that Ships with launchers are easy to find and compare?

Once more, thank You for Your time and effort and max the holy threedimensionality be with you!

hi there,

Ive done some work on the section.. hopefully including launcher count. It needs checking more - im not sure its 100% correct. I just ran out of time for the moment, if you could let me know - always helps another person checking stuff Smile

btw: you may need to clear out your browser cache to see the changes.

Wow, that response was way faster than i expected it to be, thank you!

As far as I can see the only mistake is concerning the Yasur and its iterations as far as I can check (I only own a Mk1.) as it only has [Bran / Advanced] slots, that can not use any Launchers.
On that note: Maybe you should also add something to clarify that the "Wep"-integer includes Main-Guns AND Launcher slots. So a Ship like the Thresher for example has 3 Weapon slots, but two of those are for a 2-Pack of launchers and only one is a gun.
But the List makes it seem as if there are 3 main guns + 8 Turrets + a 2-Pack of Launchers.
Or maybe it would be better to have the slots devided into "Main Guns","Turrets" and "Launchers" ?

Thats very strange, when checking the xml for the ship it has the tag missile on all 4 guns. Did this change in v9?

Indeed.. hmm, thinking the best way to do it. The trouble is some points can fit missiles or guns .. so how I count that? a weapon or launcher?

Hi, the First Screenshot below shiws the weapon selection a Yasur MK1 is offered at the argon wharf in Argon Prime at +28 Reputation.
No Missiles. Maybe "venture missile" is just their way of stating "Bran" in the .xml

I have found 0 ships that can select missile OR guns for a given slot, except of turrets of course.
But main guns/missiles is always a unique slot by now.
I have created sreenshots of at least the M-Class ships AND the Yasur so you can see yourself. So just substract the "Launch Slots" from the "Wep Slots" and it should be correct.
