Talk:Wildcat

Okay, I would like to start adding in the Action Stations ships - most of which I probably won't even bother adding an infobox to given we don't even know the armament let alone any specific details beyond a very vague age (like ancient and "should be in a museum"). The purpose of adding this entries is so that these fighters are not completely forgotten.

Now for the Wildcat fighter, I've let it as a WIP since there probably needs to be a lot more in the article about the fighter's involvement during the McAuliffe Ambush and I'm really not all that familiar with the battle having only read Action Stations once. I also made a few assumptions in the article that seem valid/implied, but probably need examination.

• Since we know that Douglas Aerospace created the Hellcat, I made the assumption that they also made the Wildcat and Corsair. This one is probably the most significant assumption, but it does seem to be strongly implied throughout the series, that these Hellcat followed a parallel precursor/successor naming scheme to the 20th century set of fighters.
• I assumed that the lasers and mass drivers are the same as those found in WC1 and seemingly most of the series. I didn't however make this same assumption with the dumbfire missile, since variations in missiles seem to occur more often during the series. In addition, it is really unclear what type of missile is referred to by remotely-fired if that even refers to a single type.
• Another assumption I made is that when the Wildcat is said to be a 30 year old class, I'm assuming that means 30 years less than the current year (2634) ie 2604 rather than sometime between May 2603 and April 2604.
