dude, you have all my support, i like to check stuff on the database, but I've been kind of annoyed because there's like 3 or 4 of them and they don't all say the same thing.
as far as i know :
the database on the website and in the client is clearly the most understandable one, but some units are simply not present
the Github database seems the most complete one, but it's kind of hard to read and understand, and some data is different (check corsair and cormorant in both DB)
the supcom wikia database is very pleasant to use, but some data seem clearly wrong (Rhino mass cost) but i has the data for missiles which is great
and finally, there is the game lobby (restriction manager) has what seems the most accurate data since i believe it is extracted directly from game files, it has nice info such as the cost of each shot of units (did you know a T2 MML uses 1 mass per missile ?), but doesn't display a lot of other things which is troublesome.
so basically, i don't think there is any database that has all the information at once, and i'd like to see that fixed.
however, I'm not the kind of guy to just sit and say "please do it", and i'll try to see what i can do myself, but... i'm not really a programmer or anything, i have only a few bases in C++ from 8 years ago, but that's about it. i want to see how hard it is to fix the scathis anyway, so i'll check around and try to learn. If you have advice though, i'll take them !
