Re: Acronym Dictionary
Two ways to have the page open while reading the forums
1) copy and paste the data into a program you have
2) Click on a link to the page from inside the forum
The tab delimeted text file allows someone to import it to many different programs.

Re: Acronym Dictionary
I don't know if anyone else uses this, but I usually refer to a Gas Giant as a GG. The G's were looking a little empty.
and of course B5 would be Babylon 5 as in the B5Mod (blatant plug)  |

Re: Acronym Dictionary
Why not just set up a Wikipedia for SE/MM related stuff? That would get us our Encyclopaedia Malfadorica.

Hi Val
If it is a bona fide mod and there is an acronym for it, we can include it in the fun stuff.
Just give it in the format we use like:
FQM = Fyron's Quadrant Mod
Edit: Is GG an acronym? Like something in everyday use?

Re: Acronym Dictionary
I made a list adding names from the data files.
I got 354 names, but too many repeated ancronyms, for example SS stands for:
SS = Supply Storage, Component
SS = Security Station, Component
SS = Solar Sail, Component
SS = Space Station , Hull
SS = Small Satellite , Hull

Re: Acronym Dictionary
I have created a poll "What form should the acronym dictionary take"
We may get more votes and therefore a more representative sample, if we can create a link to it from this thread.
I would ask anyone who are skilled in this, to create such a link.

Oh boy! LOL 
This may be a good time to vote on the type of dictionary we want.
