  • I can't say I agree with the renaming of this article. While yes, "ancient frigate" is indeed the most direct way the source refers to the subject, but to me the descriptor "ancient" seems relative enough to be inadequately descriptive. At the same time, the source does tell us that it was specifically a trading vessel and that it was a frigate, therefore I think "Unidentified trading frigate" was in fact a better name for this. Imperators II(Talk) 20:39, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
    • I renamed it because the source doesn't explicitly identify the frigate as a trading vessel, only that to the companion it appeared to be a trading vessel. I would argue it makes sense to title the article according to the best name derived from the source, as that is what a prospective reader most likely would intend to look for. If that's not in line with precedent, would Unidentified frigate (Kalki Nebula) be a better title? Fan26 (Talk) 21:52, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
      • Alright, I see your point. Nah, leave it as is. Imperators II(Talk) 11:30, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
  • Looks like an infobox is in order (we know at the very least that it was a frigate, but try to think of any more info that could be put in). Imperators II(Talk) 11:34, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
    • How is that? Since the companion felt that it might be a trading vessel, i listed it as one "possibly" (pipelinked to Freighter/Legends) under the 'role' field, and then said it was commissioned "long before" the date the game starts since by that point we know it is explicitly ancient.

  • the infobox says it was 'possibly' a trading vessell but the body sounds more definite, should probably be reworded
  • can you say for sure that it eas comissioned "long before" 3000 whatever BBY? if not it should probably say "by 3000 whataver"
    • follow up: that info (commission) is infobox exclusive BloodOfIrizi Sabine Starbird (talk) 22:31, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
      • Both of these pieces of info are logical elaborations on stuff already in the body. Imp asked me to see what I could do about finding other fields in the infobox to fill so I put its role as 'possibly' a trading vessel since, per the source, it wasn't confirmed to be one only that the companion sent to the frigate speculated that it was. Same with the commission date-we know that it is ancient by the 3600s BBY because the text explicitly describes it as such-ergo, it was commissioned/built/launched/whatever 'long before' the events of the game.
