In the latest of my Freespace TvTropes efforts, I've made a page for Inferno. However, I wrote that much and then realized how seriously out-of-the-loop I am in regards to this mod, so I'm requesting some help in filling out the page and correcting any glaring errors. I will of course be refamiliarizing myself with the mod and making changes/additions too, but any help would be appreciated!  :D

First off, thank you for your enthusiasm about Inferno; we deeply appreciate it.

Right now Inferno is going through transition, so the information regarding the project may change from month to month.  Thus it might be worth holding off something like this.

Good point, there, actually.

Alright, then, I'll leave the article alone until there's something more concrete to write about.

A 150-km monstrosity was planned at one point, but dropped.

AFAIK it wasn't a ship, but rather a bitmap. I don't know what happened to it, though.

The only good songs from Help! were Yesterday and Ticket to Ride.

Yup. The famous SH Gargant.

No, the Gargant is different (and smaller, from what I'm looking at)

is it even possible for the engine to handle ships this big?

It can handle a scale model of Earth, so yes. Interacting with it in any meaningful way (including collision detection) is another story.

Might not have been to scale but it was bloody huge.

The Gargant is 40km not 250km
