Would it be possible for someone to create a program that can
A. Sort modules/weapons (maybe hulls) by their stats
B. Create “tables” that can be saved/opened (like MacNud’s, which gave me the original idea)
Reason for this is that I’m trying to base a mod off of Darkstar’s Unity/Union mod, and, well, its rather overwhelming to try and read each of the module’s stats and categorize them.
Try Kemp’s GSBEdit: http://gsbedit.iualdii.net/
It is a work in progress, I think alpha right now (correct me if I’m wrong), but it can open existing and create new modules, and you can easily view their stats.
I don’t think GSBEdit will be a good fit for what Shylo is looking for. It looks like he wants a tool which summarises the modules, presumably in a table-like form which lets you sort by damage, range, and so on. Does that sound about right Shylo?
I had an idea while ago for a n overall strength formula for modules, which is based on splitting the stats into 2 categories: functional in-battle(weight, ROF, armor, etc.), and not useful in-battle (cost, crew, power reqs, etc). But I scrapped the idea because I didn’t know where to start.
