mhh i would say a good enclypedia will be nice. But i think it should only contain game relevant information like. Ship Information Display(*3D ship spining slowly with zoom capability and subsystems infos by click): -Ship Calss : Super Star Destroyer -Ship Name : Executor -Ship Release Date : 456 day (the game date) -Ship Captains : Nedda, Ozzel etc -Ship Crew : expert , 7000 crew , 13000 troops, etc -Cargo : xyz Fighters and Troops -Tehnical Data :.... xyz turboblaster After this there should be a small information about the ship like the one from Repellion. But i think you should dont can see all informations about all Ships who would be in the Game. You should get the informations after battles or Caputring ships. It like this i played at the Repellion Side and know some ships from the empire. Like the Star Destroyer, Tie Fighter, Tie Bomber and Corellian Corvete, Nebulan B Fregate. At round 10 i will see the First time the Inderdicter Cruiser. I lost the Fight. After iam Back in my Game ther will be new informations in the Enceclopedia Like this. Ship Class: Star Destroyer or small Capital Ship Ship Name: Inderdiktor Release Date: First seeing 10 Day Ship Captains: ? Ship Crew: ? Cargo: ? Technical Data: ? so you would know the ship will be in the game but you dont know excactly all informations. After some Battle witch i won ^^. i can Research ship Wracks from the Battlefield and i get some more Informations. Like when the Ship was build the first Time and some Technical Datas. You can get so some % of Informations between 50% and 70%. the other 30% will i only become after i have capture one or more Ships from this Class. This should be a "jeDesto" method, i dont exactly know the words in english ( Dies soll eine "jeDesto" Methode sein) How More informations i kniow about the enemy Vessel that more subsystems aso can i attack. Or i will get some new Technologies. I think this would be a good solution. i liked it in Ufo, X-com aso in where you have captured aliens and weapons and research them. After thgis you have become the technologie and some informatiosna bout it.
