Running linux on my laptop and would love to have an easy to use battle simulator when I can't get to my desktop.

Options?

Not web based, but the best VCR Simulator is here:


And I think there's probably a linux versino in there somewhere.

How do you determine who is fighting on the left and on the right in this simulator? You cannot set PE or Mission..

You can, but I just use FC.

If I want to fight on the right I just set a FC of 100, or 200 or whatever and leave the other at default.

Basically the lowest battle value fights from the right as you know, so just use Friendly codes (key "f") to handle it.

There is NOTHING that this VCR cannot handle, not from what I've seen so far. 

Well there was one edge case scenario but i forgot what it was.. 

Oh I remember now, Stefan, how can I simulate a battle with a Federation ship that has just chunneled? 

So I think the ship should have 0 shields since the fed crew bonus would not kick in for that situation, but I do want it to have the extra fighter bays that the Feds usually get...  is that possible?

Right now it always starts with 25% shields no matter what.

Also, one really neat addition would be to let me find a ship in the ship list by typing out the name like you would a windows folder...

Right now it looks at the first letter and goes to the first ship that starts with that letter, but if I want to type out .. "nova" it will go to "N" and then it will go to "O", instead of just zeroing in on the Nova itself. 

Obviously that is a super duper minor gripe, i'm really grasping at straws here :)

PlayVCR (and CCBSim) do the Fed 25% shield repair before the fight, just like HOST. So you set its shield to 0, if that's what you're asking for. (PHost does it after the fight, so for these the simulator is indeed wrong.)

Chances are this will be added in the not-too-distant future, because it annoys me big time, too. Needs a little more work, though.

Perhaps I'm not 100% sure on the expected result...

From what I've seen here at NU, a Federation ship that fights right after chunnel has 0 shields, not 25%.  Is that incorrect?
