This site will most likely not be updated anymore because of obvious reasons (don't bug me about them please).

I only put it online again because there seemed to be no successor site and there was an information blackhole - Raven.

Official ShipWizard 2 homepage

Last page update: July-1st-2004

What does the ShipWizard2 do ?

Very simple it gives you the possibility to experiment with all ship designs of various races and tech levels
of Space © without playing that race or having researched so far. You can save your results and load
them later again.

What doesn't it do ?

It doesn't interfere with Space. It doesn't help you playing better and it doesn't guarantee that you will
win a battle or a galaxy at all. That's still depending on usual factors :)

Language support:

The ShipWizard2 itself is written using the English language but it has the feature of accepting research reports by pasting the
copied text from the browser page. However Space has now multi-language support.
In the ShipWizard2's directory is a sub-directory called 'externals'.
There's a file called rnames_example.dat. Take a look at it and translate the strings to your liking.
The file should be saved as rnames.dat into the same directory after you are done.

A few notes:
There is another file in the subdirectory "external" named compute.dat. In case Space ever changes parameters regarding ship readout computation then anyone who knows about Reverse Polisn Notation (RPN) may edit it for updating purposes. Any change to this file is of course at your own risk so better make a backup before doing it.

Use this program at your own risk !
