Talk:Hyperdrive/Legends

Are the links to classes very useful? What more would an article for "Class X hyperdrive" say than "This hyperdrive class travels at 1/Xth the speed of a Class 1 hyperdrive"? JSarek 05:47, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
 * You're right, they aren't useful at all. JimRaynor55 05:48, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Oops. I guess you're right. I'll delink them. -- Riffsyphon1024 06:10, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
 * It might be useful if it were used in conjunction with the ship articles, allowing us to create a speed comparison chart.--Eion 06:49, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

Sparq
Did you write this all yourself? I hope you're up to creating articles for all that technology. -- Riffsyphon1024 16:43, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, I wrote it all by my bigboy self. --SparqMan 16:51, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Looks nice. I guess we'll have articles for each class of hyperdrive then. -- Riffsyphon1024 16:53, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Rakata
Please give a source on the Rakata as the source for delivering hyperdrive technology to the Corellians. I've never seen that explicitly listed. --SparqMan 16:53, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * I think it was pulled out of his ass. Everything I've read says that the species was unknown and from the Unknown Regions.--Spanky The Dolphin 10:46, 7 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * Star Wars Timeline Gold says a "heretofore unknown alien race." MarcK 12:11, 7 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * The aliens are nicknamed as the Hyperspace aliens. I haven't read anywhere that they should be identified with the Rakata. I am deleting the reference till someone states sources. MoffRebus 23:04, 12 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * It's officially confirmed in The New Essential Chronology that the Corellians developed the hyperdrive from Rakata technology. jSarek 23:21, 12 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Then I will fix the article Hyperspace aliens. MoffRebus 13:08, 13 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Appearances
What sources qualify for listing in the Appearances section of this article? Hyperdrives appear in almost every Star Wars story. --SparqMan 01:58, 10 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Might almost be best to skip appearances, and just list sources like the RPG books and The Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels which discuss how it "works". Alternately, one could use the same approach used to list appearances in the Human article.  &mdash; Silly Dan  02:08, 10 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Timothy Zahn trilogy
If I recall correctly, when Zahn is apparently labeling the hyperdrives incorrectly, he doesn't say "Class" as is indicated in the article but says "point x past lightspeed" (as Han says in the movies "she'll make point five past lightspeed"). I believe he says a Dreadnaught is point four and a Victory Destroyer can make up to point five. I don't know if this is the same system as the Class x system.
