Re: Acronym Dictionary
Sorry, I was being a bit facetious. you'd know all about FBWs if you ever stopped in at the cantina.
Actually, your dictionary got me thinking about an idea I had a while ago. I was considering some sort of "forum encyclopedia" in which we record all the knowledge, lore and "history" of the forum. Things we've discussed (Sweet Tea, SEIV light-speed, SEIV is like sex because...) , characters and events we've created (All the stuff that happens in the Cantina, basically), prestigious threads (ie "pirate's life" and "how old are you") and other things like that.
Not sure why anyone would do all this (other than to satisfy my own sad, obsessive vanities) but it could be a laugh.
But yeah, I'm way OT. I'll shut up now.
Heh, there's another acronym for you: OT.
OK. Shutting up...
...now...

Re: Acronym Dictionary
Ships:
ES = Escort
FF = Fast Frigate
DD = Destroyer
LC = Light Cruiser
CC = Cruiser
BC = BattleCrusier
BB = Battleship
DN = Dreadnaught
CV = Carrier, (yes it is a duplicate but should be able to pick up from context)
Those are the easy ones.
Anybody with the ones I missed?

Re: Acronym Dictionary
Why stop with a Forum encyclopedia? Make it a Space Empires Encylclopedia. A complete referance with everything to newbie help and game strategy tips, to explanations of the stuff that goes on in the forum on a regular basis.
My suggestion for a name would be the Encyclopedia Malfadorica.
Ok, I gave it a name. Now who wants to do the easy part and throw the thing together.
