New player here,

Thought I'd save myself a lot of time and hassle by downloading
pre-designed units from people's web site.

However, once I try and check they are correct, they seem to all have the
wrong value. I've been to a few people's different sites and most of them seem
to be wrong.

The first glaring errors are the cost of ablative / reactive armour for
which they've added 10% of the VSP flat and not 10% per armour level. This
throws out the BVP and most of the other calculations.

Has anyone else had this same problem, and does anyone have a excel
spreadsheet to help me design vehicles?

Cheers in advance

I have a Lotus Improv spreadsheet that works well. I've also got a catalog of
most possible hull types from sizes one through seven, each with the
appropriate armour on top, in a MS Word document. I've found that looking up
my catalog, for an appropriate hull, then adding in weapons etc, is quicker
than using my spreadsheet or a design HTML page. I've also added in my designs
to my catalog, adding in variations as I go. If you want the catalog, let me
know and you can have it.

No, but I do have a great big Access system for vehicle and force design.

I found a little app that generates DSII vehicle cards. I think I found it at
the Full Thrust Computer Core. I haven't checked it to see if the math is
right and it seems to have a problem with mulitple APSW's but the output looks
pretty good.
