They are applicable.... if you play the right version of VGA Planets.
Battle simulators and ship list calculators for Tim-Host can currently be used for Nu, as long as they use the same default ship list. For example, PlayVCR from PCC2 would be a nice battle simulator. Tim-Host combat comes close to Nu combat. The next version of PlayVCR will also include a specific Nu mode, where it simulates exactly the same way as the Nu client.
It is also technically possible to import Nu game data into PCC2 or EchoView. This site just does not offer that feature.
