Talk:(2,1)c/6

Shouldn't the speed be c/3 (max(2,1)/6) in this case? --Wpolly (talk) 04:57, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
Why such a specific article?
What's the point of having an article for one specific combination of speed and direction, when there's no article on "knightwise" in general? Knightwise is just a redirect to Types of spaceships, and Knightship covers all sort of spaceships, not just those moving knightwise. (See also my suggestion at Talk:Knightship#Systematic nomenclature.) Micromegas (talk) 09:30, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
- It's debatable -- probably not worth having an entry so long as just have one ship, and no guns, rakes, puffers etc. But I'm biased, of course.
- Even if we decide to keep it, it should not be called "c/6 knightwise", as the ship is clearly moving more than one cell per 6 ticks -- as Wpolly pointed out above. Depending on the metric used, it would be reasonable to say the ship is moving at speed c/3, or c/2, or even c/2.68328; but c/6 is clearly wrong. Apple Bottom (talk) 09:49, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
