Name (+Starzone?)

I can't remember what it says in the anime, but the Japanese Wikipedia calls this the 'Battle of Dagon Starzone', and that seems to coincide with most other battles named after stars. Should we rename this, or is there something i've forgot?  ♥ kine @ 14:26, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

I've kind of decided the whole "starzone" bit was a bit redundant. From an asethetic perspective, I got sick of seeing so many "starzones." The more often you see a word, the less it means, ya' know? So I got rid of 'em all. If you feel strongly about them, we can put them back. But then we may run into only some battles having "starzone" in the Japanese name, and that could constitute a consistency issue, etc., etc. Canary 15:37, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

There are a few that don't have 'Starzone' in the title — Astarte and Rantemario are the two biggest — but most of the others seem to have them. I would advocate (i bet you can guess what's coming up...) using whatever term is used in the Japanese sources, even if it's inconsistent. Some of these battle names are used as the titles of episodes, too, so it would be more inconsistent to me if we kept those but then changed the names of the battles themselves.  ♥ kine @ 15:43, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Alliance number of ships

Wasn't it 20,000? Where is it stated that the Alliance Fleet had 25,000 ships? — FPA Forever

Note for later: We need to make sure to restructure this article so that it's got citations and the different sources are distinguished from each other. A sort of similar (albeit far less complete) article might be Schmude — most of the information we have on him comes from the manga  ♥ kine @ 15:29, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Ratios

Anybody have some idea what the ratios were between the Battleship - Cruiser - Destroyer ship classes? FPA Forever
