The Premise
The Ship Database was originally made for the flag I am in, Caper's Capers, as a way to keep track of where our ships were in the flag, without having to keep a spreadsheet updated.

Basic Information
The Ship Database is written in PHP, with a mySQL database backend. Since the original creation of the script, I have since modified the script in such as way as to accept entries from multiple flags. When logged into the script, you are restricted to the ships in the flag you are logged in as.

When a flag is created for the database, it is assigned a random 16-character hexadecimal password (total combinations: 18,446,744,073,709,551,615. In words: sixteen quintillion, four hundred forty-six quadrillion, seven hundred forty-four trillion, seventy-three billion, seven hundred nine million, five hundred fifty-one thousand six hundred fifteen). This may be expanded to 0-9/a-z, which would be 7,958,661,109,946,400,884,391,936, or roughly 8 Sextillion combinations.

Currently, the database is released only to those we know and trust, for security purposes, though a demo account is set up for those who are interested. Those who are interested should contact Yamorg on Midnight, or KingOfZeal on the forums. A changelog on the script can be found at http://capers.signet-studios.com/shipscript-changelog.txt
