  • The article's referencing presents some issues. The article references its manufacturer (Kuat Drive Yards) to Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance and its length to Star Wars: Behind the Magic. This is literally implying that one can go into X-Wing Alliance and find somewhere within that game that says this specific ship is manufactured by KDY, when that is not the case. The same for the info from BTM. Obviously, I understand you're using both of these sources as generic, third-party items to reference the universal statistics of Nebulon-B frigates, but that needs to be explained in a reference note. Please see Reference 1 here as an example. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 22:07, August 2, 2013 (UTC)
    • How's that Mister Tope? 501st dogma(talk) 14:13, August 18, 2013 (UTC)
      • Better. I still don't understand what reference 1 is saying. What other Nebulon-B manufacturers are there? How does that apply to this ship? Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 17:48, August 21, 2013 (UTC)
        • What do you think it should say? "According to X-Wing Alliance all Nebulon-Bs are made by KDY, and as Zaffy is a Nebulon, it thus was made by KDY?" 501st dogma(talk) 18:09, August 21, 2013 (UTC)
          • Sorry for the delay on this. This, specifically, is the kind of thing I'm looking for. Note, also, that I used the most up-to-date (or just about most-to-date) source possible to reference this material, which is preferable to relying on sources as old as 1998 Behind the Magic and 1999 X-Wing Alliance. In other words, don't just look at the EF76 Nebulon-B article and rely on that for your referencing research.
  • Since the vessel clearly has engines to speak of, this should be included in the infobox "engine" field and the Description section in addition to the mention of braking thrusters.
    • Added.
  • Is "a couple of" asteroids literally referring to two asteroids here? If so, the article would do better to specify definitively two. Otherwise, it reads more formally to say "a few" rather than "a couple of," especially since "couple" literally means two: "because a couple of asteroids had blocked their course" Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 20:14, September 21, 2013 (UTC)
    • Changed to a few. 501st dogma(talk) 20:18, September 24, 2013 (UTC)
