This is a spreadsheet built to aid in the desing of realistic spacecraft. It was origianlly created for Rocketverse, a wargame.
Using the constants page, you can create almost any kind of ship you want. About 75% of the numbers used are there. I'm so
This sheet is designed to work with BattleTrack 4, which I am working on. It's what the export stuff will be for when I get it done

Notes:
The weapon's power hasn't been figured into the itemized power draw. Whatever you want should go under extra power.
The way structure mass is calculated leaves the sheet vulnerable to errors. If you happen to get any sort of invalid number, it w
