Again, people, please submit bug reports, corrections and new data on the Argonopedia forum, not this one! I'm reading this at the moment because I'm still enthusiastic, but as threads grow I stop reading them.

Not you, Zanchito. OneStorm mentioned a bug, and not the first in the thread.

Yeah, you'll see that the DB is pretty complete - even the Osprey makes an appearance, although you'll quite rightly see that it's not available for sale anywhere (we only document the un-modded game). Since the X-Shuttle is part of the back-story, and is familiar to players of the previous games, it hardly counts as a spoiler that it exists.

If the X-Shuttle were to make an official appearance, my personal hope would be that its original pilot - the player-character's father, Kyle Brennan - would continue to be the one flying it.

If you look in to the upgrades page, you'll even find a couple of outtakes!

X2 upgrades (with outtakes):

:o

Absolutely fantastic! A LOT of good information and it's all very easy to navigate. The Cartography section is my favorite. I put a link to The Argonopedia in my sig... hope that's okay!

:D :thumb_up:

PS: Do you guys have a button or something I could use instead of a plain ol' link?

We now have a ship comparison table on the Argonopedia. It is driven by the same database as the rest of the site, and is sortable on any column!

Cool, but not easy. The tables on their own tell you very little - you need the carefully coded PHP scripts to interpret the data. The ship comparison table, for example, pulls together the information in no less than four tables to give you something that looks like it could have just been a spreadsheet.

Wish I could provide an off-line version, but the entire thing's 22MB...

Right. The Argonopedia has proved to be, in a way, too successful. It's already consistently exceeding the server's bandwidth quota (by a huge margin), so it's going to start incurring me additional costs.

I'm going to try my absolute hardest to keep the site online and in its current state - we're just going to have to see.

If you are having problems with bandwidth maybe its worth talking to CJ about possible hosting. I know he hosts a couple of other sites but perhaps they dont get much traffic. He could only say no.

Yeah, it only appeared on the first page - Egosoft aren't the only ones with sesssion problems. I fixed it when I came back from work today, by hard coding some defaults.
