Welcome to Sarna. I saw your category work around units equipped with [[NARC]]s and I just wanted to give you a heads up. The wiki is not really set up to handle stuff like that very well. Equipment categories tend to give the false impression that say the [[Orion]] for example has a NARC equipped to every model. Something that is absolutely not the case, so we don't really use them anymore. The ones that do exist are a holdover from before we realised how unsuited our format is to this specific job.--[[User:Dmon|Dmon]] ([[User talk:Dmon|talk]]) 11:10, 14 May 2024 (EDT) | Welcome to Sarna.

Hey Minigiant,
Welcome to Sarna. I saw your category work around units equipped with NARCs and I just wanted to give you a heads up. The wiki is not really set up to handle stuff like that very well. Equipment categories tend to give the false impression that say the Orion for example has a NARC equipped to every model. Something that is absolutely not the case, so we don't really use them anymore. The ones that do exist are a holdover from before we realised how unsuited our format is to this specific job.--Dmon (talk) 11:10, 14 May 2024 (EDT)
Thanks very much for the heads up. I added this category because I thought it would be useful. For better or worse, there are an awkward number of units with NARCs, too few to find them by accident and yet too many to remember offhand (unlike say the Null-Signature System). I note the potential for confusion though - thanks very much for highlighting it.
