Intro

BaRR's Epic Calculator will be my second attempt at making a modular Star Sonata all-in-one calculator. On my first attempt, lack of programming experience and knowledge prevented me from finishing the project. I've returned to finish what I started; and I have the tools to do it right this time.

This calculator is like none other ever produced for the game of Star Sonata. Of course, other ship builders, augmenter calculators, colony designers, etc. do exist.

But...

None put the power of modularity into such a tidy and easy to use package. None implement every possible stat into the calculation of ship/base bonuses. And none match the pure awesomeness that is the Epic Calculator. Next time you wonder "Can this energy power my weapon?", close the normal calculator and let the Epic Calculator do all the heavy lifting for you.


Features

BaRR's Epic Calculator comes as a single .exe file, with a database containing all wikified StarSonata items. If you notice an error, or an item you want isn't there, you can change/add it yourself with the Item Designers. You can check what the suitability of a planet is, and what the cheapest options are to terraform said planet. If you want to know how many skill points you need to get a level from 7 to 25, or how many kills of an AI it takes to get from level 7 to 25, BaRR's Epic Calculator makes it simple.

There's way too many features to list here, so you'll have to find out everything when it becomes available. Luckily, the program comes with built-in descriptions, which can be viewed by hovering your mouse over a component.

FAQ

Q: When will this become available? A: Within one to three months, depending on how much time I'm able to spend on the project.

Q: So, I was wondering... A: No more questions! Shush.
