Fleets format easier

[Lοki]

I'd like to see a summary of fleets and what ships are in it, it could be put at the bottom of the fleets page.

This to make it easier to copy paste fleets into battle calcs.
Now you have on missions:
ALPHA
Beetle Corvette Fighter Emp 19
Viper Corvette Destroyer Emp 72
Thief Corvette Fighter Steal 254

This would be copied to the fleet page, without the classes and types:
ALPHA
Beetle 19
Viper 72
Thief 254


I daresay most people will agree to this as it's a pain to always have to delete those 3 words to put something in a bcalc, which almost takes as long as adding them by hand.

The targeting info can be useful, if anything its a failing of the bcalc's rather than a problem with the fleet display

If the bcalcs don't do anything about it, why shouldn't pa. The classes are still always at missions page!

So i mean, also add a quick overview of ships to fleet page. Don't delete the missions one!


If this would be done, then to make it complete, remove comma's. so not Phantom 1,312,444 but Phantom 1312444.

Guess you're just using the wrong battlecalc the one I use, just ignores those words when I paste them in.

There's only one that does it... students.bath or something? But suppose I like another calc better, it'd just come in handy.. and it's not that hard to code.

I'll put it on my todo list.

should be a simple regexp

(shipname0|shipnameN)\s+\w{2}\s+\w{2}\s+(\d+)

Just of the top of my mind. Will check it tonight and update

Hmm Seems I was thinking of another page
Spider FI CO 200

For your original:
Beetle Corvette Fighter Emp 19

This shoud do the trick

(shipname0|shipnameN)\s+\w+\s+\w+\s+(?:Emp|Norm|Steal)\s+(\d+)

We provide information on a page in the most useful format for that page. If external software wishes to make use of that information in a manner that does not violate the EULA that is fine - however we should not design the game to fit that external software.

True... but It'd be handy to be able to copy paste fleets into ALL bcalcs, and be honest, it's not that much work at all. I think a summary of ship types & numbers per fleet would fit well on the fleet page. Now there is nothing yet, and adding it won't hurt anyone (unless 5 mins coding hurts you that much )
