Guys, I'd like some suggestions (and perhaps help) in organizing this list.

And naturally, more links are welcome

[ReallyDedPoet]

Great sticky, good work lads

[Mush Martin]

Well that was quick are you going to be available for addins and updates.
as such?

And thanks also for all the work.

MM

[Mush Martin]

dead links I took out and updated a total of five on my list on the other
thread and pm'd everybody else that had a bad link (only two)

I remember this one is dead and I checked it it is.
the correction may show up here or on the original
thread Im not sure so I wil stay subscribed to the
original for a bit.


-Fura s h i t a ' s Fleet http://www.combinedfleet.com/fura****a/furamain.htm#ijn

[Sailor Steve]

Good start. My only suggestion would be to make the overal headings-the ones that are separate and group groups together-bigger.

Also, on that Fura****a link, is there some reason for the gaps...Fura s h i t a ' s Fleet?


[edit]
Never mind, I can see the logic now.:rotfl:

[CCIP]

I don't think that link will work unless we use some redirector like http://tinyurl.com/ :hmm:

I had a few of mine that were dead but just
needed the page taken off the end of the
url to get into the still existing homepage

I sent pm's for the bad links I found

Ill have to go over whats here
I think you ended up including
my bad links as we seem to have
been working simultaneously at that
point.

Unknown ? Bad language filter maybe.:hmm:

[GlobalExplorer]

Does anybody know a data source for the complete KM quadrants system?

What I mean is a file that stores the quadrant coordinates in coordinates, not just a web page with some reference material ..

I know there is the KM Grid converter, but it doesn't come with any help in using the provided .bin file. I might contact the author about his permission / help to use it though ..

Anybody knows something?

And yes, great idea this thread. I have already found some long needed information through it, like the link to the Romanian WWII vessels.

Great stuff!
