Agreed, for the most part. RAF resurfaced just a couple of days ago, which is why I added it. CW/GCW/PT come up every time there's a new movie release, but yeah, they're probably safe to remove. I'll do some cleanup sometime soon.

And if I may suggest a way to make it a little easier to navigate, perhaps make the separations by letter a bit clearer?
Such as:
-- R --
RAF
...
-- S --
...

--Ñ--

:D

Huh? What am I missing?

A Spanish joke. Don't worry. ;)

Updated with a couple new terms (FT, QTC), separation between letters (forum formatting options are very limited, so bear with me), and a few terms quarantined for eventual deletion.

How many words start with "Ñ"? Three?

Not too many :D

+-80 covered in the DRAE (our most official source).

Maybe more if we count words in the DPD which adds words (and meanings) from Spanish variations (Mexico, Venezuela, Perú, etc.)

NOTE: the DPD is official too but is not a regular dictionary as cover only differences so if a word has not any kind of difference you won't find there.

Maybe it became a bit pedantic. Sorry. :)

This forum lives in pedantic. You know that, I know that, quit apologizing for a rule as inviolable as the three thermodynamics laws.

EDIT: Don't make me go get @Snipafist 's "Ackchually" (yes, I know I got that wrong, I'm lazy, d*****) meme

So the auto-censor is fallible...

Few more you may wanna add -

D ball - Blob of Defenders normally numbering 5 and above

Jendon's Orchestra - Squadron builds with Jendon

Neko/CL - Arquintens

Task Force Zombie - Rieekan fleet

Taichi - Redirect defence token (local slang in SG meaning you deflect or redirect something)

Half - Brace (so you remember what the token does)

Sato dice - When your opponent replace 2 dice with 2 black

HH = Hammerhead corvette ;)

Added HH, TFA, TFO. Updated FAQ link.

Been seeing QBTs (Quad Battery Turrets), BTs (boarding Troopers), and D-caps (disposable capacitors) being used pretty heavily these days

Thought for a moment that TFA was "The Force Awakening" , my bad, its Task Force Antilles :P :P :P

That particular meaning of TFA is in the "scheduled for deletion" section :P

Added QBT and BT . D-caps was already there (see DC entry).

Lifeboats can no longer be flotillas, and tournament scoring is now 10-1, vs 10-0 (mentioned with tabling).

Cinnamon for the new ISD Cymoon 1 refit, ISD-C also used

ISD-K for the kuat refit :D

Not before my lovely Space Dorito or just Dorito for the Quasar.

I'm not adding Cinnamon or Doritos (yuk) :P

But ISD-C and -K are routinely thrown around. And @GiledPallaeon made some very good points regarding the latest rules changes.

I could spam Dorito on every thread and private mail box. Be warned.

I know where you live.

Well, a rough approximation. But close enough for superlaser work.

Blowing up planets is not the solution, I think you need some planetary extermination counseling

It's not the solution. But it is a solution.

BTA: Boarding Troopers Avenger. It's such a common build it deserves it's own acronym.

It is - I was waiting for the dust to settle between "BTAvenger" (22 hits in a forum search), "BTvenger" (21) and "AvengerBT" (14). "BTA" alone doesn't make the cut (at 2 hits, including the 1 from your above post).
