iOS tool: Commander OneWrite Reply
I just happened to search App Store for "vga planets" and lo and behold: there was one application available!

Commander One is free and has tools for following things:
Ship Cost
Max Speed Damaged
Distance & Travel Time
Minefields Size
Planet Structures
Planet Defense
Ground Combat
Searchable Index for Donovan's (needs an internet connection)
Searchable Host Order (might need an internet connection) 

I'm in no way affiliated with the program, I've just found especially the Ship Cost tool very handy indeed and I think other could find some use for it too!

Hi,

I have just tested it.

First cosmetics: The interface based on Fed ST:TNG feels very old.

It's interesting and I would like to share some ideas to improve it, it seems like the author is a NU player so here they come:

1) SHIP COST
- Add a list where you can save favorite ship set ups
- Add Mass and Mine/Web sweeping capability

2) MAX SPEED DAMAGE
- Change name to max speed
- Calculate probability of mine/web hit (see http://www.donovansvgap.com/info/spacemines.htm )

3) WAYPOINT

4) MINEFIELD
- Add Probabily of mine hit based on radious
- Add Mine sweeping list of ships (based on ID) to work out next movements for further sweeping

5) Other ides
- Add a borg assmilation predictor (at current settings full asimilation in X turns, minerals mined, cahs etc)

6) Add a mine build calculator based on cost of mines.

7) Do an intefarce for other races... Borg, Colonial, this fed LCARS is so Picard!

But good that iboys have that already.

It's available at least in the German store.

I just searched for "commander one".

Edit: it's a spanish developer in Barcelona (and it ain't me... I just googled it :-P)


It says it will be on Android too and here are some shots:

I thought it was double mc only, and mineral cost was the same as in original ship.

Yes, minerals should be the same. Only twice the cash.

I stand corrected ;)

cloning costs the exact amount of minerals that is needed to build the ship and it's components (engines/weapons), and exactly twice the cash.

Hey guys, I'm glad you like it, I'm the developer of the tool, I haven't said nothing because it's still under development. The idea is deploy it also for Android, but I don't have that much time. I'll read your comments and will improove it.

Enjoy it it's for free ;-)

Hi Figak! Not vanished at all, just out of time to play Planets (well, to play any thing). But I still receive notifications when somebody posts here ;-)
I'm not gonna develop anything else of Commander One (really out of time) but I could traspas the code (if I can rais de virtual machine I used to develop) to any one interested on keep the project alive. It was developed with appcelerator titanium (http://www.appcelerator.com/titanium/)
