WikiStates Gems

[acelanceloet]

well, quite a few of these are quite nice and seem to have at least some understanding of how ships work

The admin at WikiStates freaked out over copyright violations and so removed all the images so he could personally review each and every one of them (all 10,000+... the guy was a lunatic...). That's when I moved my nation to Statesmanship so it was a non-issue anyway.

The non-credited drawings that aren't in the template are the most annoying. The drawings by Oseato that say "Thanks to Shipbucket" is actually following our rules to the letter; he didn't even have to say "thanks to SB" as he was not using anyone else's work. The drawings are in the template using our format (if messy...) and therefore 100% good to go.

The "County Class Missile and Aviation Cruiser" is (I believe) by Matt Labunda who has posted here in the past and is not in Shipbucket scale/style but rather the very similar 6px:1m scale pioneered over at Lineart Inc.

Ah, sorry,

I agree with Ace and Colo, those are actually pretty good, given the source. Come to think of it, worse has definitely shown up in the beginner's section here.

[Bullfrog]

Yeah, shows how much the quality has improved,

"Given the source"...

WikiStates is not a "rip off" website - most of the people posting work there have also posted work here in the past. Myself included...

[Wikipedia & Universe]

While WikiStates no longer exists, the concept has been more or less revived in the form of IIWiki, albeit under completely different (and non-lunatic) management. I've actually struggled to find anything obviously bad over there so far, but this comes pretty close to being of the quality we pillory here. It's not nearly as absurd as some others, but I have no idea what's supposed to be supporting those peripheral weapons with no 90-degree break from the vertical.

Id like to make a comment as to how horrible the integration of weapons systems has been done, then again, Im fairly new here so I shouldnt... xD
