Thread: What every Weaponsmith should have : WS little Helper v0.4 Alpha (URL)
this link is an excel spreadsheet (similar to the AS little helper by Umma Gumma on Eclipse) to allow you WS to input the stats on your resources and the experimentation points you plan to allocate in crafting to get final stats for each component (including Krayt Tissues), final weapon (Adv. Laser Rifle only so far - make sure it works first before expanding). i've also begun trawling the Smuggler forums to find info on the new slicing patch to include (so that part is very estimated currently), and also to include any pups you want to apply on your rifle and then using the info in the Game Guide forum by Steevano on predicted damage i've got a base attack damage prediction against any creature at an identical level to yourself.
hope you like it, any feedback would be usefull and will help in expanding and increasing the accuracy of the predictions.

kinda noticing something similar with my stuff, i have to re-ajust the experimental foumula a little i think. kinda just glad you were that close for now!
thanks for the input there
now updated to include a little infor for basic ranged attack worked from Staveeno's efforts over on the GameGuide forums to give you an idea on final damage. and also the ability to see what happens with any PUPs you might want to add.
have many people really tried this yet to see if it works? i can get started on the other components if there is any interest (personally i only make ALRs so thats why this is a focus here to start with).
What amount of speed did you base the skill speed mod on? Is it speed at master rifleman? Because there is no option to put in your current speed skill mod to determine the final attack rate on the attack worksheet. Although I could just use Steevano's calculator, just thought you should add that option in.
Also, you should think about putting in a formula to limit the amount of experimentation points you can spend based on your max available experimention you can get with your resources. Currently the sheet allows me to input more experimentation points in one area than resource cap would allow based on the used resources, although the results stop at the correct amount of experimentation, the amount of points you put in has no limit. That can make for mistakes by the user.
For example if my resources only allow me to put a max of 9 experimentation points in efficiency, the final results stop increasing at 9 points, but I can still put in 10 points, It should cap at 9. This a simply a minor issue because any good WS would already know how many points they can cap at...but if this tool is gonna be used by up and coming WS, it could help them out a lot.
