If further work is done, perhaps someone can generate a set of reduced size (1/2 or 1/4 of current) for hover images. That should speed things up somewhat.

Also, it would be nice (and perhaps helpful for slow loading) if no hover images display while the mouse is in motion, even if over the names. Best case would be to only have it display when the mouse has been stationary over the name for 2 seconds or so. The way currently wikia is programmed is that if you adjust the display size of those images, what being affected is really just the disay size of those images but not the actual size they are transfer. To tramsfer only the thumbnail image, either you can link the thumbnailed images which i don't think wikia system do not currently allow displaying images via http link directly, or by uploading all those ship images again in thumbnail size which require quite much effort.

On the other hand, changing the triggering condition of mouse over does not help with slow connection as all those images are loaded when you enter that webpage, not when you hover over ship names
