hi, I've downloaded and extracted/unzipped it. I only got it to open once, the rest of the time, it acts like it opens without opening (ie, i check with ctrl alt del to see which programs are in memory, and this one is if i've "opened" it, but it doesn't open a window, except the once). I've tried rebooting and everything. Help!

Good Lord thats alot of credits!!!!

How about i give you this broken data pad and you let me ride the droid around the block.....

but seriously thats high pricing....do you move alot of droids or break even ? My low end droids tend to be about the same but the uppers are way off....I have alot of competion to put up with so my prices have to be a bit lower but in general at 5 CPU * Resourses +8 CPU for Resources of subcomponts i make a 20% profit and move about5 - 8droids a day 12 - 25 if i start plugging for sales in a city , but no need to do that anymore ( not counting BH droids)

Was just wondering the volume of sales most people seem to have

Hey Tardyn,

Glad to see you did a good job of stealing and bettering my Excel-implemented ideas

I'm complimented.

A couple of feedback items:

- Don't prematurely clear all data when pressing the "load droid" button. If you hit it accidentally and cancel, you've lost your custom droid config.

- Only one personality chip should be selectable at a time.

- The reliance on the .INI file is still a mild annoyance. If you implemented a price-generator in the same program, using one or more of the several formulas suggested in these pricing threads (flat price per resource unit, flat markup, ratio markup, etc), and then write to the .INI file your journey will be complete.

- Your download page doesn't seem to actually have a download link. At least, I couldn't find it.

My subscription expires this weekend and I'm not renewing (I'll reconsider infew months if things have changed significantly). Looks like you carry the torch alone, my friend, because I won't be updating my Excel tool.

All the best,

Dartrell

Nice little program - thx!

Just my 2c tho - it would be nice to have more module drop boxes - as a lvl 6 med module uses some of the rare resources I charge more for those than I do for a lvl 3+4 combined. I only use lvl6's where necessary to save the space

Same goes for armour too - tho with the stacking being broken since last patch I'm having to use my far more expensive lvl6's rather than 2 4's to get the med 40%. They're still selling though so maybe I'm selling my lower modules too cheap!

Perhaps 2 slots for each module type?

Just a thought.
