Ok, let's assume we can do it. We can find a rule set that will allow us to place every ship in a certain ship category without overlapping with another category. The question still remains: What will be gained by such a classification?

Why would someone want to compare ships based on an arbitrary classification? If he/she really wants a sound comparison, the best thing to do is to get an overview over all available ships, not just an extract. This can be done just fine with the list we already have.

And there is yet another, more important question. Should the Wiki not concentrate on things, that are really in the game and not make things up? True, there are such classes as gunships and bombers in Gof3D but they don't exist (as classes) in GoF2. In fact, the only GoF2 reference to a bomber I could find by a quick search is in the description of the Gryphon. And funnily enough, this ship would be classified as a Gunship by the definition above... ;)
