My biggest beef w/ calc tool is Non-ch are way underpriced for the amount of effort they require, specially if you calculate in cl 11 and 12 failures he have to burn and sample. I understand its a guidline but any BE selling 6k/4k/3k cl 10 pets for 25k is out of their mind, that is at bare minimum a 75k pet. My other beef is a CL10 pet and a CL 30 pet with same stats comes out to the same price. That just aint right.
Kudos though, Keep working at it.

What in the world are you talking about? The tool was written so that you can put in your own criteria for pricing and have it appy that critera easily across all pets that you sell. If the price is coming out too low, or illogically, then it's because the criteria you set up was faulty.

Hi, thanks!
BECalc was never meant to be a guideline (though for starting BE's it can work that way).
If you want to change how much the base price for a non-CH pet will cost you, click on the Edit->Options menu and then the Ratings and Level tab. Down near the bottom there is a box labelled "CL bonus for Sub 10". If you enter "70000" in there you should get a price that will be more inline with how you charge.

Awesome stuff:
A request on the tissues: Bonus per tissue is 10,20,30....
They need to be all numbers, I Sell BSN at 86 for 18 credits per Neutrient. So looking to see if I can match your calcs.
Would help if I could select 86 for the Bonus per tissue.

If I'm reading you right, I think thisboils down to"Cost" verses "Worth". I originally did the Tissue section only to factor "cost" pricing, as a lot of peoplecharge a flat rate for things (resource cost + 50% for example), but I then decided to allow people to factor "worth"pricing as well via the "Bonus per Tissue" box.
If you mean you charge (86 * 18 = 1548), you can achive what you want (within a few credits at least at 1545)by charging 530 bonus per tissue and taking the Base + 50% price.
/some time passes
I just went andmodified the "Bonus per tissue" box to accept typed input, so you can enter any bonus you like now (base x 3 + 18 bonus per tissue gives exactly 1548 now )).
)).It's up on http://www.geocities.com/tinman_au2
Heres the change log:
Version 2.0.1.14
- Due to a request from Factol_Pentar I've modified the "Bonus per tissue" box to accept typed input and dropped the "by 10" increment lock. This will allow tighter and/or more flexible control of bonus calculations. I.e. If you've made some BSN with 86 power and you charge +18cr per bonus point over 80, you can add 108 bonus credits per tissue. Or, as an alternate system, you could put the "86" in as the bonus per tissue price. or for a real price boost, times the bonus by 10 and add that in the bonus per tissue box. It's up to you how you use it really...
