Question Starship Spreadsheet working?

[The Dark Inquisitor]

Hi factory Team,

Hope you're all well.

I've tried to use the starship spreadsheet, but it seems to be uneditable on my end. Am I doing something wrong or is it the sheet's fault?

Please reply ASAP or as soon as you have availability to do so.

If it is me that's wrong, then can you please send over a shareable version so that I can edit it to try out different "builds"

Thanks again

K.M

Good morning. While I'm not a direct member of the factory team, perhaps I can help in this regard. I do know that the Excel Spreadsheet in question can be finicky at times. The most likely culprit of it not being editable on your end is that Microsoft seems to be requiring a license to utilize any of the Microsoft Programs (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, etc etc). This may be the likely issue if you haven't outright purchased Microsoft Excel to utilize the program.

If this isn't the case, I would suggest working without the sheet as the ratings are relatively easy to understand and pick up with a bit of practice.

The Following Tables should be able to assist you.

Production Rating

Mass-Produced​	0​
Minor​	+1​
Limited​	+2​
Semi-Unique​	+3​
Unique​	+4​

Technical Ratings

None​	+3​
Very Low​	+2​
Low​	+1​
Average​	0​
High​	-1​
Very High​	-2​
Extreme​	-3​

If you have further questions, I pop around the Starship Factory frequently and would have no issue assisting in the event that the Factory Team is unavailable. You can reach me directly via the site DM or you can find me in the GA Discord.

Thanks for posting!

So If I am understanding it right, a unique ship will have a higher initial rating/ points that it can use?

And the higher a piece of tech is the more points you spend, meaning the less you have to spend on other pieces of tech such as speed, armour or armerments.

So, if I was to make a Unique Corvette class that is meant for a Sith Inquisitor, what would I be starting with point wise overall.

Thanks for the advice. Just tried Tryk's advice and it seems to work. Thanks again for everything!!

That would be correct. A Unique Production ship starts off with +4 Points that it can allocate to the other ratings.

All Ships start at a 0 Point with all ratings at Average or at their Highest (in regards to a Corvette) - An Example would be

Corvette (50 meters)

Production	Mass-Produced​	0​
Armament	Average​	0​
Defense	Average​	0​
Hangar Space	Extreme​	0​
Maneuverability	Average​	0​
Speed	Average​	0​

In this example, because the 50m Corvette does not have the room for a Hangar, its Hangar Space starts at its highest rating, however, you would not be penalized for it starting at Extreme.

A Unique Corvette as an Example, keeping to that 50 meters, that focuses on speed and maneuverability would look something like this

Corvette (50 meters)

Production	Unique​	+4​
Armament	Average​	0​
Defense	Average​	0​
Hangar Space	Extreme​	0​
Single Craft Hangar	Yes / No​	Not Applicable​
Maneuverability	Very High​	-2​
Speed	Very High​	-2​

This would be an example of a Balanced Ship as a 50m ship does not have the capacity for a hangar, it starts at its highest rating instead of the base rating of Average, though it still remains at a Value of 0 Points.

The Single Craft Hangar is not taken into account for balancing, though should be noted in Strengths and Weaknesses if it is utilized.

With the starting build at Unique providing +4 Points, allocating those points to increase the Maneuverability and Speed by 2 levels would consume those starting points.

An example of an Over Powered Corvette, still following that 50m, would look like this

Corvette (50 meters)

Production	Unique​	+4​
Armament	High​	-1​
Defense	High​	-1​
Hangar Space	Extreme​	0​
Single Craft Hangar	Yes / No​	Not Applicable​
Maneuverability	Very High​	-2​
Speed	Very High​	-2​

In this example, our Corvette is Overpowered by 2 Points and would need to reduce its Ratings either by reducing the Armaments and Defense back to Average or by reducing the Maneuverability and Speed by 1 (or reducing either of those ratings by 2)
