Alpha testers wanted for a CT shipbuilder

Just a couple, to help identify the most heinous issues with the underlying algorithms.

A prerequisite is that you need to be very familiar with either CT's book2 design sequence or book5 (High Guard). You should also be aware of Don's CT errata. As it stands the software offers no help for those with only a passing interest (job for later). One exercise for example might be to compare existing spreadsheet or HGS output with this (yet-to-be-named) app and figuring out where the differences lie.

All you need is a browser as it is hosted on-line. I use Firefox and Chrome, it seems ok on IE as well.

There is a lot of places I can take this, but it is only a hobby project and real life is biting at the moment. I suspect two testers may find enough issues to keep me busy for a while. I also need to add a couple more features before looking to open it up a little wider.

Of course if I get no interest I will just publish a link, safe in the knowledge I can keep up with the volume of issues raised!

If interested, drop me a private message.

Cheers!

PS. this thread is not intended for discussing the software. We can do that later... and that discussion might be better placed on the software solutions board. At the moment the app has not yet reached the heady heights of being a solution :).
 
Cool! I signed up to play with it.

I am really rusty with the CT ship building rules, but I have all the books so I can design side-by-side and let you know if I find anything.

Good stuff :) Consider anything that makes it difficult to understand or use, a bug worth reporting (preferably on the Software solutions thread linked to in the second post).

Those Bk2 and Fighting Ships designs that are auto-loaded into your account should also be accurate.
