Default Re: Calculations

I don't calculate much.

I always calculate movement (turn on option) to destinations (but who doesn't?)

I always calculate retrofitting so a ship (NOT specialty ships like stellar, etc.) can be built in ONE turn less with the least amount of retrofitted price.

If I have ancient and am playing against a single opponent and "borders" have been expablished, I go through each of his systems calculating how many facs he can build against how many I have available "on my side".

In KOTH games with a medium starting planet, I calculate (in the early turns) the minimum number of engines a ship needs to colonize a planet in the same number of turns as if it had all engines mounted. (in other words, if it is 2 away, I put on 3 engines; if the planet is 7 away, I put on 4 engines).
