 "I don't think a thorough overview of Oni's Tankers ''from a game developer's point of view'' will be "quite useful" to any potential readers."
 :Well, this is the kind of thing we need to hash out, then, because I didn't plan for this to be a technical page, but I did want it to have a comprehensive layman's description of the enemy. Once we decide on what the scope of this page should be, I will proceed to making pages for the other enemies/allies.

 "Capitals Are Evil."

+:This is getting overly verbose, but heck, that's just what you get for encouraging talk pages ^_^
+:Capitals - yes, thanks. DA - indeed that was Dox, not you; I was referring to you guys collectively.
+:The 6-fold MELE variety interferes with the 3 color variants more than for any other enemy type.
+:(for all the others you can say there's a specific MELE "supposed" to go with every enemy color)
+:GIFs were pretty much standardized when the combat move database project started back on OCF:
+::http://oni.bungie.org/forums/index.php?threadid=61
+:Slowmo is only apparent. The actual GIFs are real-time, but the playback speed seems to fluctuate a lot.
+:As for the work it represents: there must be a reason why we're not even close to a complete set of GIFs...
+::Point is, it's a clearly defined initiative, but it also comes across as an awful waste of modder time ^_^
+:As for the in-game mugshots, there'd be extra work required because of different/random character height.
+::You may be better off taking those shots in 3D apps like Blender, even though you can't "shapeshift"...
+:Actually (and we're going off-topic) I don't see the point of those mugshots: poor quality, little use to anyone.
+::(we're already using those as status indicators on the onimia forums, but I don't think we need them)
+:It's much better to show the characters in full, like those early renders did. Armor variants and such.
+::(if by mug shot you mean the ''full'' figure of every character, then I agree, bar the standardization)
+:An ASCII dump of technique names can be found here: http://ssg.oni2.net/subfold/text/oni_bina_melee_part_2.txt
+:Generally speaking, I would make a common list of the extra TRAM specified by the Tanker TRAC, without MELE.
+::(so, yes, basically putting the TAN*** column in plain English; not sure you need the key symbols and such)
+:As for the article's scope, I'd prefer a more in-universe depiction of the Tankers, with little or no tedious stuff.
+:An overly objective overview of Oni's content bears no added value and is a total waste of everyone's time.
+:I think the in-game characteristics of the Tankers deserve a little TRAM list and a few pics/screenshots.
+:The rest of the content would be more casual and less trivial at the same time (background info, trivia).
