Shipwright Archive

looks good - it's something I've been meaning to do for myself but haven't managed to summon the enthusiasm for yet ;-)

I was remembering a graph someone produced during Beta which showed in rectangular blocks, the max/min mass and armour HP for player crafted Starship armour, and thinking that this would be a good thing to create for all components, so that when something is looted, it can be easily compared against the average and max/min values .....

For what it's worth -- I've been keeping the same kinds of records for loot (not REd) components. Our numbers match up quite well -- your being a few points higher than mine in each category -- as you would expect for items that had gone through the RE process. I have been asking folks to comment on the results of the engine numbers in

and I'm wondering if we should try to do the same kind of analysis for all the shipwright crafted items. It would tie the discussion to some real numbers.

What do you think?

You need Excel to use/view these:

Capacitors (Covers L10, L8, L6, and L4)

Engines (Covers L10 and L6)

Shields (Covers L10 and L8)

Weapons (Covers L5-L10)

These sheets are hot-coded. Enter a value, it'll automatically compute the max/mins and automatically show you the post-RE values. Naturally, the weapons sheet is by far the most comprehensive and probably your best bet to modify.

The percentage calculations for the RE values is two cells over from the MIN/MAX table, whited out so they won't show up on a printout. All you have to do is change the values from .06 down to .01 to adjust for L1-L10 when creating a new sheet.

The data already entered is MY loot (the bolded figures are the best in the given category) - feel free to clear it out or compare it to your own. These are works in progress.

Absolutely, the more data points we can get the better. More data means better comparisons.

I am already using the data I have generated to cull out sub par parts (Chassis Dealer shelling out some cash to me <G>. Of course it is tough with the Droid Interfaces; I am still getting the occasional drop of level 1 or 2 items with 15.6 speeds. I am also still getting quite a few drops of all types of components where the Certification level and RE Level do not match (level 7 items with RE Level 5 or vice versa).

With PHP, all is possible. As for "horsepower," we're talking about percentage calculations, addition, and subtraction...not trying to find the square root of pi.

Besides, given the incentive, someone could take my spreadsheets and alter them for other components.

Of course, not EVERYONE has Excel. MOST do, but not everyone.
