It also introduces canon Hop/1 prototypes (with governors!)! Two of them! I am so prescient in doing so myself earlier this year.

Found something else:
I have added extra Sensor Stations -- and extra sensor arrays (and back-ups) -- onto a 5000 dTon design, but the sheet says the Ship only gets one sensor action.
[Edit:] Terry Mixon pointed out my error; now it works. Thanks Terry! [/Edit]
Also, Adding a 'Large Tachyon Bay' weapon does not seem to list the AP10 anywhere. Similarly, there do not seem to be 'Notes' on the SSDs for the special rules for Hullcutters, or Antimatter Streamers, etc. If there was a source listed, then I could look them up; but I have not been able to find the references.
[Another Edit:] The 'Advanced Stealth' Hull property is showing very high power usage -- around 50 million power for a 5000 dTon hull. I believe that is an error. ALL 'Stealth' packages are showing power consumption. [/Another Edit]

There is a toggle on the crew tab to calculate sensor crew. I believe it is set to no by default. Change it to yes and the sensor actions populate correctly.

On tab 9b optional, what does SOL refer too?

Systems typically used in Solomani Confederation designs.

Much cheaper and FAR less tonnage to just include a nuc that can be lit off.

Where is this listed at if I might ask?

On the 2-Drives tab, FTL section, E1-Stealth Jump is supposed to be 2 advantages but only costs as 1, have to select it twice to get it to account properly.

That was fixed before, not sure how it crept back in.

Any chance of having the Integrated Long-Range Sensor Suite or the Astrographic Plotting and Analysis Chamber from pg 25 of the Deepnight campaign guide, or the Space Sciences Suites from pg 26 added? I see that the space sciences suite was detailed better in Great Rift, NM on that one.

Sorry for the delays in updating.
I broke the sheet, got frustrated trying to find WHAT I broke, then Life got in the way, so I took a vacation from the sheet.
Consequently, I lost track of some of the requests not in this thread... and maybe some IN this thread. Also lost my notes on changes, so I may miss a few... oops.
I DID NOT implement Hiver bridges yet. That has many crossover bits and was too much interconnectedness for me to process just now.
-Terry's accommodations tally for carried craft/pods (9a) to effect the profitability tab is implemented.
-Retro calculates the backup computer separately
-Tytalan's printer friendly Summary implemented, controls on Ship's Info Tab
-Self maintenance mod implemented
-Self Destruct Lattice implemented
-Astrographic Plotting and Analysis chamber implemented. (It says it combines the plotting and grav analysis, but gives no other information, so that's what I did
-Integrated Long Range Sensor Suite implemented. If you use 6 stations, it is the stated 20 tons, otherwise it is smaller. Suite adds to Sensop crew count.
-Changes to custom accomodations (Staterooms Tab) to work better with Profitability Tab calculations
-A couple of minor error fixes.
-Edit: Stealth jump takes two advantages again.
If your input did not make it, unfortunately I'll need you to repeat the request.
Because many things were touched, I recommend that casual users wait a day or two for the sheet-breakers to break the sheet.

The 9B page tonnage only gets the things at the very top of the page. It needs to extend all the way to the bottom.

Not related to anything you did, but the collapsable fuel tank needs to show the 1/100 tonnage used when empty so it can be accounted for.

That WAS working before, and I didn't touch it. (until now to fix it.
Starting to suspect the newer version of Office as being not as friendly to moving things around as my old one. It lopped off everything below the sensor stuff I added.

9b tonnage issue fixed.
