I have issues with character generating programs unless it is for NPCs. The reason: A program will usually utilize random table selection resulting in a character more diversified and less specialized than you (or at least I) would normally roll. Some events require a decision to be made too. Often a programmer will hard code certain decisions based on their preferences and not even make them random or selectable - Example: Every term the character generator will attempt to become commissioned until it succeeds and will never raise in rank as a NCO. If a program is created that stops and allows the user to interact and make decisions it is little better than manually creating the character.

Just my opinion.

As for ship design, if you have a spreadsheet program you basically have all you need beyond the book.

With the simplicity of of the design system all you really need is some thing to line up and add the relevant data.
