New Ship Database - Search, Sort and Compare!

[CaptainKipper]

Hello

I had an idea ages ago and finally got around to putting it into practice. I found that neither the in-game help or any of the major sites had a ship database that was any use.

Most of the major sites just copied the data from the in game sheets, which isn't really of much help when you want to put one ship at the side of another and compare stats like for like.

So, as a result... I've made my own. I have some other ideas too, so I built a website around it.

Unfortunately i've been hard at work coding the site, and haven't been able to input the 100 or so pieces of information for each ship (for 200 ships, thats 20,000 things to fill in!!), thinking that if multiple people did a couple of ships while on long OS runs (it only takes a minute to enter a full ship detail)... it would be quicker and easier (I really wanted to get this online to see what people think). So anyone who wants to enter some ship details would get my thanks.

If people like what they see, i'll move onto some other things which I think could enhance your gaming experience! (Like buy-orders and bounties through the site!!).

Please take a look and let me know what you think.


PS. My Nemesis - Internet Explorer 6, doesn't like it too much. Upgrade!

I would like some people to help update the ship database, it only takes about a minute to do a ship .... I have just done all of the SoL's so you can see how the system works

I would gladly add some shipstats and have registered myself... But I guess I am to stupid to find the Login possibility

[Darion]

Umm ok.

Found the Login.

Perhaps I should say, that this googleadd on the right, just cover the complete login in the right, with my Firefox. With Opera the Sitelayout works fine.

Very cool and very nicely laid out. Great work, Cap'n!

What OS / version of firefox are you using? I've looked at in FF3.04 under XP and Vista, and despite some tiny differences which I can't explain but intend to fix, I hadn't noticed any major problems..?
