Tech Levels in Excell Spreadsheet format...

WhiteHojo · #1 February 10th, 2001, 07:12 PM

I finally got tired of flipping thru mulitple data files while trying to figure out what characteristics a baseship has, when do I get Monolith IIIs, what level of Intell project is Puppet Parties, what all do you get after researching a particular field to a specific level, what exactly to Mineral Scanners do?

So I put what little excell spreadsheet skills I had (very little) to use and created the attached file. It is a rather simple creation but I have found it to be rather useful and informative. I thought I would post it here and hope someone else finds it usefull also. If anyone has any comments, suggestions or critiques feel free to let me know.

Thank you very much. I have a lot more excel skills, and look forward to opening the zip.

Thanks again. Great work.

I am sorry, but I have to post again. THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH. This is an excellent thing you have done. IT looks great.

Just wanted to let you know.

P.S. I hope you do not mind, but I posted information at my site about your file. I want everyone to know how useful it is.

I've finally been published. What the hell do those law review editors know anyway? (will only make sense to anyone who has toiled thru 3 years of law school - yuck)

Atrocities, went to your site and I must say, I'm blushing.

Nice site by the way. Very up-to-date and informative.

Yes, it is very helpful. I am greating a graphical depiction of the research tree in PowerPoint and will publish it when done. I also am creating some tabular information for each of the Facilities, Modules, Weapons, etc, in Excel which I will publish at the same time.

Wow! I was definitely not expecting hyperlinks in Excel. Great job!

Now... since it's in Excel already, I wonder if someone could make it do the math to calculate how many research points each tech field costs?

Maybe one of our resident mathematicians such as DirectorTsaarx or Zantris?
