3. Delete the fields from image line from the code ''if you do not have a corresponding picture''.
  
4. Many of the fields are optional, and have comments in place to indicate that. You can leave those fields blank, and they won't show up in the finished article. '''Note:''' Thrust is presented on Sarna.net in terms of g, rather than thrust points. 2 thrust points = 1 g. When quoting from a canon source, you must divide the listed thrust points in the source by 2 to obtain the correct value for use in an article.

4. Replace the '???' from the other lines with the correct data.

5. Fill in the five sections (Description, Armament, Cargo, Variants, References) to the best of your capability.
  
5. Fill in the six sections (Description, Equipment and Capacities, Cargo, Variants, Design Quirks, Bibliography) to the best of your capability. Added "Weapons and Equipment" instead of Equipment and Capabilities if the support vehicle is not armed or meant for combat. Put name of primary source material and link under, Bibliography section.
