If you want to learn about HTML (or reallly any programming related topic), head on over to Stack Overflow. A search should turn something up, and if it doesn't you can easily ask about it. In this case, you want to take a look at this.

Ok, another printer friendly version has been posted, this time without ANY pictures except those that are absolutely necessary (I think). If something needs to be changed about this version, let me know

Hey Dominus_Noctis, just noticed something the other day while playing - thus I just have a query with the speed of the Griffin unit for the Romulans, it's listed as 90... however they always seem to speed off in front of Generix units when I have them in the same control group - is it actually faster than 90?

The Base and Frigate Generix move at 100, the Spectre and Support move at 80.

Well then, that would be why - thanks Tyler!

Crud! Can't believe I missed that 
Tyler's absolutely right. I'll correct it immediately

You might have been wondering why no new versions of the Guide have been posted for several weeks. Well, it is with great happiness that I am able to say that the reason for this is because Zebh (and me to a much lesser extent) have been hard at working creating a semi-wikified website for the Guide for the past few weeks

Without further ado, here is the link, so take a look around and please give me as much feedback as possible that way we can make the Guide as useful as possible.



One more thing, note that this is still a work in progress, and really although it would have been nice to release it full formed, that will take some more time. Hopefully it will still be useful, interesting, and enjoyable in its mostly completed state. Share and enjoy

Thing on task for to do:

-Unit Overviews (Fed one has some uncompleted sections dealing with warp in)--stats at each rank will be added as well.
-Mixed Tech Unit Overviews-stats at each rank will be added as well.
-Tech Trees
-Feedback Section (wiki portion open to everyone)
-Design your own Strategies Section (wiki portion open to everyone)
-Map sharing section (open to everyone)
-Some download features and lots of pictures

As you may have noticed, the PDF is still a must for the Mixed Tech, Tech Trees, and Unit Profiles.

Remember to thank Zebh profusely for his outstanding work

One thing to note is that Internet Explorer users may get some errors because of the browser...  We're working on fixing that

That wiki is starting to look good already... though the part in the Intel report about the Galaxy Class confuses me. Is everything about the Galaxy FO canon with no proper canon?

Could you explain a bit Tyler?

Oh, by the way, I just updated the Fed Apocrypha section: it has info on all vessels now

I'm just curious where the unusually low numbers, poor war performance and shield flaws come from... none of that was in the show.

I'm not complaining or anything, just curious.

I think this discussion has been had many times before, but there weren't very many Galaxy class vessels seen, and when they were seen, they were being blown up. Not to mention the short amount of time before the Sovereign class was introduced.

As I said I'm just curious about the info, not complaining about the game Galaxy's or anything.

It's just a little misleading because there were more of them than that and were never seen destroyed in the war, only a pre-Cold War kamikaze, Virus infection and Core Breach from stupidly sticking the Shield code in plain view. None of those were any fault of the ship.

I don't speak for the Devs, but from what I remember I "saw" a few Galaxies getting horribly damaged in the Dominion War
