Freelancer Equipment Calculator 1.0 **''MASSIVE SPOILER**

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

Freelancer Equipment Calculator 1.0 **''MASSIVE SPOILER**

Just finished my Freelancer Equipment Calculator's first version. I downloaded Weapon List Team's Freelancer Weapon List and it was cool, but it missed some things. So I made a similar Excel calculator thingy with more advanced features, some of them are listed here:

-Get a list of all ships, guns, turrets, missiles and shields and information about them
-Pick up a ship, weapons and shield you like, calculator does the rest
-See if all the equipment are mountable or not
-Check how long you can shoot with the weapons before all energy is drained
-Hull/Shield Damage / second / volley / shooting time
-Total destruction / second / shooting time
-Destruction in 3, 5, 10 and 15 seconds
-Average fire rate
-Automated shield recommendations
-Weapon speed matching
-Summing all up in a form of rating to see how good your ship, weapons and shield are
-And more

Download:

Read the readme.txt file to use it right.

Hey ittan!

The max weapon class cell works just fine for me. It's empty for you no matter which ship you select? It is saved as Excel 97-2000 format so it should work fine with older versions too.

About that drain information. Basically all the information is there, in a different form tough. What you should first check out is the max weapon cell (i hope it works for at least everyone else). If you try to select class 6 weapons for Patriot, in the Calculations sheet it will inform that those weapons can't be mounted and gives no rating. If you choose class 2 weapons instead, they can be mounted and in the calculations tab it shows how many seconds you can shoot with those weapons b4 all the energy is drained.

If I didn't get you right, please be more specific and I'll see what I can do about it

Thanks!

Deathbringer20, thanks man, my typo

now it working.

just upgrade to office xp

I've thought about some additional stuff to the next version. Tell me what you think about these:

- Every information related to weapons are zero in Calculations sheet if the weapons are not mountable that you've chosen
-Let maneuverability affect on ship rating
-Adding a little quiz about users own preferences, answers will affect on the final rating

I'm releasing a new versio of the counter in the next few days. It has user preferences (so you can more easily find the best setup for your style) and memory to remember the best setup. Also ship's maneuverability affects now on the rating.

I want to release it bug free, so if someone wants to test it before i release it then post here.

Let me test it! I have lots of free time

PS. Please don't make the version you send me (or so I hope) read-only! My reason is because if there are any mistakes, I can correct them and send the corrected one back to you.

In case anyone else ever comes looking for this, it's here now:
http://beta.lancersreactor.com/t/downlo ... asp?id=951
or that page appears to be mirrored at
http://new.lancersreactor.com/t/downloa ... asp?id=951

I didn't know about that, but I punched "equipmentcalculator.zip" into Google and got those results =)
