Talk:Ships

When you browse the shipyard in a station the stats of your ship will be compared to the ones your looking at. Green means the ship-stat your looking at is better, red is worse and white is equal. What keeps me wondering: Maneuver, Speed und Size are NOT always white even when it's the same word. So if you have a ship of average speed for example and look at other ships of average speed some will be better, some be worse and some equal.

I believe that the "words" we see are just a rough guideline hiding the "real" hidden values. Would be interesting so see what those values are...

Example from my own (sadly incomplete) research: Amongst the "Very Fast" speeds the Icarus and the Barracuda seem to be equally fast. The comes the Sturville, then the Hammerhead and then Mastodon. No idea where the Radovich belongs in there.

Would be nice to get some insight from the devs on this.

-- I think you are right. Our best bet is to unpack the game data to extract all the real data, I think... I saw a reddit post about modding saying they could unpack and repack game data, but the tools to do so are complicated and with a russian doc (I do not speak russian, sadly).

I noticed the same thing and came to the same conclusion. I've updated the comparison table on the Ships page to sort speed, maneuverability, and hull class by hidden values instead of alphabetically by the associated names--if you're able to figure out the stack ranking (with or without the exact values), you can update the values inside the templates to control the sort order. E.g., all the "Very Fast" ships have a sort value of 50, but you can adjust them to 51, 52, 53, etc.

For reference, I used these values as starters: Ritoale (talk) 10:29, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
