Okay, so I basically said I'd wait til my exams are done before I talk about this stuff. Well, one my hard exams is done and the other is difficult to revise for, so anyways, game navboxes.

I want to redo our navboxes, based on games, instead of based on different things. This is because we have the potential to make much bigger navboxes and we have tons of tiny ones which seem useless. Alternatively, it could be made for different stages. Though if I were to combine the navboxes, I'd need to know which ones. So as far as I can tell, navboxes are:


 * Game stages
 * Ship tools
 * Rares
 * Galactic objects
 * Archetypes
 * Traits
 * Achievements
 * Galactic Adventure stuff?
 * Creature parts...?

For the main game? Did I miss any?

Of those, it feels like rares, ship tools and such can all be merged into a section on the new "Navbox Spore", for the entire game. Though then that begs the question of how we list it. I'm thinking we could either list it like:


 * Navbox Spore
 * Cell Stage
 * Cell Parts
 * Editors (cell editor in this instance)
 * Creature Stage
 * similar stuff
 * Tribal Stage
 * Editors listed, blah
 * etc
 * Civ Stage
 * etc
 * The Building Editors
 * are there weapons?
 * Space Stage
 * GA
 * And LOTS of stuff goes here
 * General
 * Archetypes
 * Achievements etc

Alternatively;


 * Navbox Spore
 * Stages
 * Editors (and parts)
 * Objects (including rares, galactic objects)
 * Tools
 * Adventures
 * Archetypes
 * Achievements, easter eggs, etc header

Those are my thoughts. Of course, we could also make navboxes for each stage, instead of for the entire game. But I like to make one for the whole game for futureproofing purposes, there is a chance Spore 2 could become a thing. It's just a very low chance. And we could also perhaps make GA a separate navbox? I have no idea.

I'll leave this here, you and Ghelae could check it out (and maybe Random if he's interested, I remember he used to be helpful). But I'm really not satisfied with our navboxes :|
