    Ask MongooseMatt ANYTHING!!!

    Actually, it is. Passengers want single occupancy. Crew may accept double occupancy. You want to know at a glance that you have the correct number of staterooms, and you do not want to over or under design on that score. Recording single or double staterooms separately gives you that count...

    Sig didn't make it a reply, and I didn't dig through dross to find the original irritant.

    Absolutely not. The coordinates of every known star in the galaxy are free to download. You need a 3D graphics engine, not generative AI, to project those coordinates as a selectable dot. Searchable? The database structure of your choice. Distance between two dots? Simple math. No AI required.

    Did we get an answer on where the decimal point was intended to go on Emergency Low Berths? KCr100 or MCr1.00

    Minor Adjustment to the above to prevent having to guess where zero actually is several decimal places out. Should have thought of it while back, because it drives me nuts for about three seconds too. 2025.05.09a Unused space is now rounded to two digits throughout the workbook.

    Feature Request 2025.05.09 Toggle on Ship's Info Tab that controls Unused Space message in the Cargo area of the Summary. Because I didn't want it as an error. Expanded the decimal points on the unused space field on the cargo tab to 3. Copied available space below Internal Storage as an...

    Can't. Circular logic. Can't use a field in the calculation of itself without using code that destroys cross-platform compatibility.

    And, I can put a toggle and minimum setpoint on the Ship's Info page, so you do not have to see it unless you want to, and unless the unused part is above a number you choose. You frequently have a rounded zero that is more like .045.

    Yes, that is a possibility. I actually thought I had that already. If you overspend, you get a hull error. Every tab where you can add something should turn red on the field telling you how much over you are. For non-bay cargo, there is also internal storage, located between bays and supplies.

    Still Got the Weapons tab to go, which is the majority of them. bonus: Since I was using tables from early on, I can't just copy the fields from Vlookup. I have to go to the table to select the fields for Match. Yay.

    In changing over the huge number of vlookups to index(match) functions, I found a few things that got broken by moving things around. Fortunately they were things no one uses, like space folding drives and one box for the core/110 computer. New version 2025.05.08 Various bug fixes associated...

    Yep. Anything that takes the limitations into consideration.

    Using High Efficiency Batteries for Jump Drives

    Filling a jump bubble with hydrogen and quickly fusing several tons of hydrogen to generate power seems mutually exclusive. You'd be filling the bubble with a mix of helium and "unburnt" (unfused) hydrogen.
