Hi! I’m trying to make a spreadsheet to help calculate ship costs, but there are some unknowns. I’d like the community to fill in these unknowns. As the community will be able to use the ship calculator, I’d like to think of it as a trade - releasing the information about the unknowns on the forums, for getting the calculator working. Here are the unknowns which need filling-in:
Structure: How do I get the amount of structural components in a ship? Likely based on volume.
Small, Medium and Large FTL emitters: How do I calculate the quantities of each size of FTL emitter? Likely based on volume.
Acceleration (max): How fast can a ship traverse intra-system routes? Likely based on mass, the STL engine and the G-Factor.
FTL speed (max): How fast can a ship traverse FTL routes? Likely based on volume and the FTL engine used.
Operating empty mass: How heavy is any specific ship? Likely based on all used components.
Volume: How large is any specific ship? Likely based on all used components.
Estimated build time: How does the BLU command estimate build time? Likely based on the Bill of Material.
Please help me with this spreadsheet which will help all.
