So with the changeover to XenForo, one of the items that was lost that people said they would like to have come back was the Ship Registry. I'm already working on setting up a replacement but I would like to hear from anyone who has an opinion as to what they would like to see in the new Ship Registry. Features you want, things you don't want, etc.
Ship Name / Class name, Class, Ruleset, Status. (Pic optional) Ex: SMS BadenoughBadenDreadnoughtIRCActiveAltmarkAltmarkConvoyIRCActiveDKM KolnK-classLight CruiserIRCBuildingSMS Wahnsinnig??Armoured CruiserSteampunkBuilding
After our experience with the last one, which had an excessive number of started but no one ever marked them finished ships, and fantasy ships by a few folk, all without pictures, I'm kind of thinking an actual picture should be a requirement.
I believe, an actual photo of the model. I would go further to state, the ship registry should be for "Completed" models only.
Actual photo of model yes. Heavily leaning towards completed only but that might be a question for the masses. I think I would definitely kick out the 'planned' ships, but there's an argument to be had to keep 'Under Construction' and 'Stricken' (if you have pics).
