Bit of help needed on a project

[The Hobbybox]

All,
As part of the day job I'm just starting to learn VB6.
As a learning exercise for me I'm trying to create a fleet selector for ACTA which will calculate how many points you have available, etc.

To help with this, does anyone know the points breakdowns for 2e?
i.e. 1 Armaggedon point = x battle or y patrol?

Is it a simple doubling as you go down the list?
e.g. 1 Armag = 2 War = 4 Battle = 8 Raid = 16 Skirmish = 32 Patrol?

 

[darknight]

all right bar end one its 18 patrol

 

[darknight]

1 arm point
2 war
1 war 2 battle
1 war 1 battle 2 raid
1 war 1 battle 1 raid 2 skirmish
1 war 1 battle 1 raid 1 skirmish 2 patrol
4 battle
3 battle 2 raid
3 battle 1 raid 2 skirmish
3 battle 1 raid 1 skirmish 2 patrol
8 raid
7 raid 2 skirmish
7 raid 1 skirmish 2 patrol
12 skirmish
11 skirmish 2 patrol
18 patrol

I can send you my FAP caculator algorithm in ASP (VBScript) if that is any use. But, after quite a while of trying to find a good way, I have decided that computationally working out the optimal number of FAPs for a given set of ships, is a nightmare!!!

Darknight you missed some out. Complete list is here: http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=29640&start=15

IIRC the Fleet book lists all possible FAPs which is a step forward

I want my fleet book!
Mongoose still haven't sent my supply through.
Want more B5 porn!

(The fact I can get that excited about B5 ships probably shows just how emotionally damaged I am as a person!)

Come on Mongoose! Send him the books, then he can send my order out, thought you were sending stuff on Tuesday?

 

[Right Hand of God]

Hobbybox, who do you get them through? Drop me a private line, as Esdevium received theirs today. . .

 

[H]

Ok, back to the little project...
Is there a complete list anywhere of the ships for 2nd Ed and their Priority levels?

 

[H]

[katadder]

which you will see wednesday even if you dont have them in stock by then.

 

[Da Boss]

Hmm I was kinda hoping you were sending stuff out tommorrow? We have one fleet book here but I want my own!

 

[Right Hand of God]

Hobbybox, does that mean you didn't get your supply in today ready to post tomorrow?
