Why is the attribution for the Description quote so long? The last part about the shields being a power drain and only usable for short periods of time is given in the section itself so it could probably be jettisoned.- I disagree. The quote itself wouldn't seem relevant to the following section without the existing level of context, which explains why Tott had to hit the shields.
What is the relevance of the taming of the boma beasts? Either mention that they were used as mounts (at least I think they were) or remove it, it's not overly relevant to the ship.- Addressed.
I recall the ships specifically being chased by Krath ships as it left, which is more than mentioned here.- Addressed.
Is it worth mentioning that Cay wasn't sure if the wrecked ship would explode?- Addressed.
- Nothing other than those. Excellent Description section. NAYAYEN—it appears to be a frammistat 14:45, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

Brass in Pocket
Unless Cay's modifications encompassed all of that which you describe, you should start the "Description" section off with details of its stock composition, before telling of Cay's upgrades.- Done.
Same section: Your ideas are somewhat scattered between the paragraphs, please compile them. Talk about all of the countermeasures in one part, its design, etc.- Done.
Remove much of the extraneous context toward the end of the first "History" para.Same thing with the "Encounter with the Krath." Rewrite so that the Ranger is the subject, using a tad of that which is currently fluff as context for its participation.- Check it out.
On the right track, but could still use some tweaking. Try phrases like, "the Nebulon Ranger was later active in the Naddist rebellion...", or somesuch.—Tommy 9281 Wednesday, May 11, 2011, 01:22 UTC- Check it out now. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 00:59, May 12, 2011 (UTC)
- Check it out.
And with "Destruction." This isn't the history of the Great Sith War as told by the Nebulon Ranger; this is the history of the Nebulon Ranger during the Great Sith War.- Check it out
- Good writing.—Tommy 9281 Sunday, May 1, 2011, 21:22 UTC

The nitpickers nostril
Bts: Could you elaborate how and what information those sourcebooks (others than CSWE) gives?–Tm_T (Talk) 12:33, May 2, 2011 (UTC)- Done. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 15:45, May 8, 2011 (UTC)
I wonder if Tommy above is pointing on these already, but, History section: I'm not sure if there's need to describe the Galia-Kira business in such detail, try if the crashing on Onderon would work in a bit compacted context.–Tm_T (Talk) 20:10, May 10, 2011 (UTC)- That part has been shortened. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 00:59, May 11, 2011 (UTC)
A few final things
The missile and torpedo carrying capacities (eight and six, respectively) are exclusive to the infobox --- should they be listed in the Description section, too?- Addressed.
'Oron Kira and Galia soon consecrated their marriage under the laws of the Galactic Republic," --- this is the first time their marriage is mentioned; can you mention their earlier ceremony in the previous paragraph around the time you introduce Kira?- Addressed.
And just one more: Can you use {{CSWECite}} in both Sources and Notes and references?- Addressed.
