Table for rig lists

I copied a table from some of the other ones on the wiki, but I'm not sure if it's a good fit for this page. Anyone have any thoughts on whether it works? Or what could improve it?

Name	Effect	Downside	Skill
Anti-EM Armor Pump	Increase armor resistance to EM damage	Decreases ship's maximum velocity	Armor Rigging
Anti-Explosive Armor Pump	Increase armor resistance to explosive damage	Decreases ship's maximum velocity	Armor Rigging
Anti-Kinetic Armor Pump	Increase armor resistance to kinetic damage	Decreases ship's maximum velocity	Armor Rigging
Anti-Thermal Armor Pump	Increase armor resistance to thermal damage	Decreases ship's maximum velocity	Armor Rigging
Auxillary Nano Pump	Increase amount a local armor repair module repairs per cycle	Increases armor repairer powergrid requirements	Armor Rigging
Nanobot Accelerator	Decrease local armor repair module cycle time	Increases armor repairer powergrid requirements	Armor Rigging
Remote Repair Augmentor	Reduces capacitor used by remote armor repair modules	Decreases ship's maximum velocity	Armor Rigging
Transverse Bulkhead	Increases hull hit points by a percentage	Decreases ship's cargo capacity	Armor Rigging
Trimark Armor Pump	Increases armor hit points by a percentage	Decreases ship's maximum velocity	Armor Rigging

I was thinking of something similar yesterday, and I think it's a good idea. I would perhaps remove the skill column and mention it in the introductory text above each table, as it's the same for each group of rigs. I would also left-align the text, as it makes it easier to read.

Additionally, I was thinking of a "note" column - but it would be empty about 80% of the time, perhaps notes as text below each table would be better? Noemie Belacqua 02:55, 29 November 2016 (CST)

Yeah, makes sense to drop the skill column. I think the only case of a rig using a different skill than its group is the odd case of the Salvage Tackle, which can be easily explained with a note at the bottom.

Updated table:

Name	Effect	Downside
Anti-EM Armor Pump	Increase armor resistance to EM damage	Decreases ship's maximum velocity
Trimark Armor Pump	Increase armor resistance to explosive damage	Decreases ship's maximum velocity

Do you think it would be appropriate to use multi row spanning cells, like at smartbombs, for the Downside column? --Al hubbard (talk) 13:55, 29 November 2016 (CST)

Very nice! Yes, I think using multi-row cells would be OK. I just tested it and it even works well with column sorting (which shouldn't be needed here), and IMO it makes the information easier to skim. Noemie Belacqua 14:46, 29 November 2016 (CST)
