I'm unsure how to find the rate at which ships accelerate. Ideally I'd like to be able to look at a ship's mass, max velocity and movement modules and be able to calculate it's acceleration rate. Anyone know the formula(s) that Eve uses?

What a great response....
Because trying it out means I have to actually buy the module and ship, when in reality im often looking at what something could do, potentially, if I had faction/officer mods.
In other words, I want to know how the game works so I can create ship setups that fulfill the role that I play in my gangs. To do this the best that I can, I need to know things like how fast my ship accelerates....

Hmm. Thanks for the responses guys. I, too, get totally crap FPS, but if you ever do find someone to do that, I'd be really interested in the results.

Nice job!
Makes my head hurt looking at that formula. Any chance you could throw that into a simple open office spreadsheet and link it in your sig or something.

Spreadsheet looks great, I just wish I could get it working.
The rotational stuff will help me a ton when I finish the training for my next ship, but for now I just need some straight line acceleration information.
Two Issues:
(1)The spreadsheet references the ships you added, but when I add more ships and their data to the ships tab the front page of the spreadsheet doesn't load the values. I don't know enough about the spreadsheet language to decipher it really, my spreadsheets are pretty basic ;p
(2)Even your 3 base examples don't work properly take, for example, the crow. Although the info loads in the 'ship specs' section it doesn't load properly for the final pre-mwd velocity. The answer is zero, despite the cells it's supposed to be multiplying not coming out to zero.
*after a bit more testing, everything in the formula =B37*C43*C47*B60*(1+B14/100)works fine except for the b37. If i set the cell to =b37 it displays the value in the b37, unless it's one of my ships, because then b37 doesn't display a value, despite my following the same format as your ships. However if set the cell to =b37*c43 it shows 0 instead of the expected value. This is despite the fact that b37*c43 ISNT zero... I really havn't the foggiest as to what is going on.*
I'd really like to be able to use that spreadsheet, as it looks pretty useful, I just need to figure out how it does what it does and why it isn't doing it.

Was anyone able to get the Orbit / Speed Spreadsheet to work correctly? I can't seem to get it to reference data on the 'ships' page and really want to get this tool working!
