Talk:Minstrel-Class Yacht
I may need some help with neutrality here if anyone wants to give me feedback. I have an unnatural love for this ship ... and I am the manufacturer. --Arkhaios Plaga 03:18, 22 March 2011 (GMT)
factuality
I'm curious was R&D released at some point to allow only a select few individuals to design a ship?
Or will everybody from a faction with some datacard now claim to be its designer? Hey since my character is a leader of Rendili and a wookiee, who lived long before the clone wars, I could claim to have created the Dreadnaught and Lictor, and cooperated with others on C-3 and Neutron Star...
The original premise of the holocron still stands:
- "The Holocron is for actual facts of what's happening and what has happened in the galaxy. It's not a place for advertising, ego stroking and blowing up your character, or rewriting history in massive favour of your faction (e.g. Fox News)."
- — Jennifer Dreighton, Holocron:Guide
So once again did the characters mentioned in the article actually designed the ship in game? or Red/White Scenario? or was it somehow granted to them by admins as reward for some services to SWC? or was minstrel among all the ship DCs granted to factions around year 6? --Xanyarr Chyakk 11:21, 4 April 2011 (GMT)
Around the time that Datacards were assigned, the Minstrel was one of a number of datacards offered to Drax (Minstrel, Xiytiar, Guardian, Mobquet among the choices). We ended up choosing the Minstrel and the Xiyiar. There was no red/white scenario, no in-game R&D. Having said that, we at the time assumed and role-played that the assigning of the datacard was, in essence, making us the designer of the ship in addition to the manufacturer. If this is incorrect, I would be more than happy to change it, but I'll need some help with the fix. If not those listed, then who? The original artist? Or for history purposes does the ship just have no designer? Or was the designer some arbitrary NPC and "The SWC Gods" magically gave us the knowledge of the design one day? I completely agree with the original premise of the Holocron ... but being at loss for another explanation, I took what liberty I did in order to tell a complete story; though as I mentioned above, we did honestly assume to be the "IC designers" of the ship. If someone can change this to a better alternative or can give me a better alternative so I can change it, please do, but I'd rather see people take the liberty I did here rather than ending up with every article looking like the YT-1210 article; I can read the rules page for that. --Arkhaios Plaga 13:52, 5 April 2011 (GMT)
