Yesterday's page said "Generic (394 per pak) is the unit datasheet".
Only 114 of the 394 are. Every IDXD file carries exactly one Generic
record and its schema is set by what kind of file it is. Partitioned
by field set, identically in all six GP_MAIN_GAME_*.pak:
114 has HP -- a unit datasheet
204 {Count} only -- a dialogue file
64 {ID, Name, SideID, Unique} -- a character (36 TCAF + 28 ADAN)
10 {EnumAsteroidGroup} -- an asteroid group
2 degenerate
204+114+64+10+2 = 394, and 178 distinct Generic.ID = 114 unit + 64
character, the only two shapes carrying an ID. That settles the
"178 IDs vs 394 records" question the previous entry left open.
Positive control in the same loop: for the 204 dialogue headers Count
equals the number of Message_NNN siblings, 204/204, zero mismatches.
Cross-check from the other side: Maneuver = 114, Effect = 114, the
carrying-entry sets are identical, every unit Generic has a Maneuver
sibling, and Generic.Type splits 43 Craft + 71 Vessel -- the same
43/71/114 unit-struct-runtime.md reached from live guest memory.
New tool generic_partition.py + artefact; ISL artefacts byte-identical.
Same technique as the weapon tables -- field names are literal, so a
field-shape search over 190782 records finds the carriers.
Generic (394 per pak, 110 field names, 178 distinct IDs) is the unit
datasheet: HP, ShieldRatio, DefencePoint, AttackCraft/VesselPoint, the
five Resistance* terms, Size_X/Y/Z + radius, RadarRange 10000,
FCSRange 8500, MountedFCS, MountedShieldGenerator, Score/Damage/Mass,
NozzleCount with per-nozzle FX, and Model rou_e006 -- which ties the
sheet to the mesh names the corpus already decodes.
Maneuver (114) is the AI flight model: MaximumVelocity 1200,
CruisingVelocity 700, Acceleration 600, Deceleration 400,
SideThrustAcceleration 1000, Turn_AngularVelocity 180,
MaximumBank_Normal 60, per-axis DragFactor 3.0, afterburner and
reverse-thrust factors, plus nine named manoeuvres each with its own
timing/ratio/length bounds and AA_/AV_ rate pairs. This is the static
source for what flight-speed-law.md measured at runtime.
Corrects a guess in the same pass: HP_CLASS/HP_ID are not ship stats --
they sit on records named for wingmen and ship classes alongside
HPGauge/RadarCursorType, i.e. a HUD gauge binding table.
