The high speed datalines, when pertaining to role playing, are largely
obsolete due to MUDs and other similar systems but that is fodder for
another entirely unrelated topic. Anyway, I do believe that a
classification system is in order but I think that some of the ideas that
Mr. Hess has said should be addressed. I do agree that there has to be some
function but I think that we need some more classifications to the
definition of a capital ship.
Imagine if you owned an automobile dealership. Let us say that you had some
vehicles in that automobile lot. For the sake of an example, we will use
General Motors as an example to convey my idea across to LUGNET users who
read this message. Let us pretend that you had a Chevrolet 1500. Well,
there are 1500 trucks, 1500 Silverado trucks, 1500 Heavy Duty, or HD trucks,
2500 trucks, 2500 HD trucks, 2500 diesel engine trucks, 2500 diesel trucks
with double wide rear tires, 3500 trucks, 3500 diesel trucks, 3500 diesel
trucks with double wide tires, S-10s, Blazers, TrailBlazers, Tahoes, and let
us not forget that Suburban is published under both GMC and Chevrolet, as
the Neon was sold under both Dodge and Plymouth when it was first
introduced. Then there are the Yukon trucks, the Yukon Denali, the Jimmy
trucks, the S-15s and a whole system of trucks identical to the Cehvrolet
line after that and we did not even delve into other GMC made vehicles, such
as school buses and large trucks such as the Kodiak.
The point is, to be quite truthful, even looking at typical normal every day
vehicles on planet Earth is a headache to keep up and then there are phased
out models and the debate to keep models alive for one more year and to
slightly alter them every year. I am sorry if these past few sentences
confused your brains but I was trying to show that it would be a very large
system to keep up with were it applied to LUGNET .Space.
Of course, all of this fails to recognize function but there are trucks out
there, as well as other vehicles of our imaginary automobile lot, which have
different functions. If we think like an automobile manufacturer instead of
any real classification, or combine naval classification with automobile
classification, I think that is really the way to go to get more concise and
accurate information about capital ship classification.
