So....

I think it's better to have each equipment have it's separate page like the player equips. That's only my opinion though, I know there are some people who don't want the spam of equipment pages for abyssal equipment so not sure if that will be a problem. But I would like to maintain parity with the player equipment. After all, 15.2cm Twin Gun Mount doesn't share a page with 15.2cm Twin Gun Mount Kai...

For Enemy Vessel, I've been meaning to completely redo that page. I want to bring the colored backgrounds in line with EnemyShipInfoKai and the stat column backgrounds in line with EliteShipsKai. One thing I'm curious about is that when I tried stat column backgrounds with EliteShipsKai people flamed me saying it was color diarrhea, and yet with Enemy Vessel no-one complains about the rainbow spanning the whole page. So I'm not sure whether to keep that. If it stays I want to at least kill the saturation outside of the header row by at least 30%. I don't like how the notes column is used for Elite, Flagship, etc; I think that belongs in it's own column. Remove the level column, it doesn't serve any purpose AFAIK. Record it in the data modules for data's sake but I don't think it's useful anywhere at this point in the game's development. Use ShipBattleCardKai for the battle cards. Link all equipment. Equipment icons for all equipment will make it easier to recognize the type of loadout each enemy vessel has. Show stats with equipment bonuses somehow (this needs to happen for EnemyShipInfoKai as well).

That's what I think should happen short term. Wow, what a wall of text. Longer term, I think that the enemy lists for maps should be on their own pages like 2-3: Eastern Orel Bay and the node template (someone is writing a new one IIRC) should have a parameter that triggers the addition of Category:Maps that feature ABYSSAL SHIP NAME to the map page for each enemy vessel it's called with. Then we can use categorytree to neatly display live information about what maps have a certain enemy vessel, just like the stock equip system for player equips. Also, mirror the stock equip system for enemy vessels so the enemy equipment pages show what enemy vessels use them.

So...those are my thoughts. Hahaha. You asked for them ;D
