I like the program. It is pretty slick.

There are a few things I liked about QuickFit , however, that I wish you could incorporate into this:

1) Tabbed organization - characters on a tab, ships on a tab, equipment on a tab, ...
2) The equipment search
3) Equipment display - QuickFit wasn't perfect, but I liked that the slots had separators and were color coded.
4) All equipment displayed in lists were color coded, by slot (low, mid, high) for easy reference. This was great if you were scanning a list for that one item in a specific slot - like interdictor launchers.


Also - does your program has a way to export fittings to a text or html file? That would also be great.

Update with new Rev III ships pretty please?

I doubt he'll bother with that until their stats and skill requirements are officially finalized and complete and publicly available; and rightfully so. No point in spending time on inofficial and vaguely mentioned ideas of which much is still subject to speculation, so a lot of the data could only be guessed.

Eve fit tool is lying to me. In particular it doesn't calculate cap recharge rate accurately. I had been noticing discrepancies between what EFT was telling me and what I was actually getting. Obviously, I had imported my char using the API and fitted the ship exactly as in game.

In order to do a sanity check and ensure that its EFT that is wrong I checked a Hyperion, completely unfitted, and with no skills. According to EFT you get a recharge rate of 12.

This is incorrect. The correct value is 7200/1500 = 4.8.

Not a huge discrepancy, but it gets much worse as soon as you use skills and cap rechargers etc.

Is there a quick fix for this? I'm using V 2.4.1

Capacitor reaches its peak recharge rate at roughly 40% of capacity. It does not recharge at a flat rate per second. The closer your cap gets back towards being full the slower it recharges. Hence you need to use the little formula Gripen gave and not just CAP / RECHARGE TIME.

Make multiple characters, all referring to the same API key, give them appropriate names and voila, different sets of implants for different occasions.

---

What a simple solution! Thanks.

I may just be dumb, but how do you read that new DPS graph? It didn't seem to be taking the damage type/resistances into account as the few ships i tried to use with it had the max dmg at the top of the curve every time. Help? :)

JPG is messy for images with few colors like screenshots of Windows apps. No chance for PNG ? Can't imagine that there aren't good libs for Delphi handling that.

Such quality is set intentionally to minimize file size. There are still people playing on dialup and setups isn't a game screenshot or photo to worry about quality.

GIFs serve better for screenshots of an application.

For your comparison:

JPEG

GIF

Some color information is lost, but the GIF is better at preserving a screenshot of text since it's a vector format. The text of the setup is really what matters anyway. Lastly, the GIF is only 48KB, the JPEG is 71KB.

Your compression is horrid tbh, I can get a gif and jpg half that size with out less quality loss but you were semi right. A gif is better for this type of an application but a png is better then a gif here. Now an application like Eve a jpg is far better.
