Audit categories of older books for finer grain categorization #46

Open duffn opened 4 years ago

duffn commented 4 years ago

Right now all of the categories for attachments for example are very broad like Weapon, while they could be finer grained like Melee and Brawl Weapon Attachments, Grenade and Micro-Rocket Attachments, and Ranged Weapon Attachments.

We should go back and audit the older books to change the categories from the very broad definition to the tighter definition.

Where are the tighter definitions ... well ... defined? Are they in a YAML file in this repo?

Because I've just spent hours typing in various weapons from Gadgets and Gear, and I'm not exactly happy that Lightsabers are classified as "Melee Weapons" that use the Lightsaber skill, among other things. I'd rather classify these as Lightsaber Weapons, using the Lightsaber skill.

But maybe that's just me.

They are nowhere at the moment and need to be defined. But we can certainly reclassify anything anyway that we see fit. I’m open to suggestions, especially from the more experienced SWRPG players like yourself.

Let me get through G&G and then we can see how things fall out. I don’t want to make any proclamations yet based on incomplete information.

duffn commented 4 years ago

Sounds good. There’s some interesting data, as you’ve found yourself, coming from the books that we’ll need to figure out how to handle.
