Not sure if this has been reported yet, but the fitting tool isn't calculating the value of weapons into the fitting ISK cost.

Append: Nor the cost of grenades. Maybe that whole section of the tool isn't being read in regards to ISK.

After couple months of work, and beta testing, I am ready to present the:

Dust 514 Fitting Tool

Archive of 2.3.0 (Chromosome): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aq6pdGj-zwyedFBOVnRyVUZLLVdhazJpSzJQZ0FWMWc#gid=32

This is a Google Drive spreadsheet, which means that you will need to login to Google Drive and then do:
"File -> Make a copy" to save an editable copy for yourself.

How to use
- To use, simply double click the green cells to select values, or start typing the module names in them.
To set character skills
- Go to "Skills & Characters" sheet
- Change only the green cells in here
- In the column that starts with "Your Char1", rename this to your character name
- In the same column, populate your skills
- Now, on the "Simple Fitting Tool", under Character dropdown, you can select your character.

Current Features:
- *NEW* Uprising data
- *NEW* Equipment stats displayed (on Adv Fitting Tool only for now)
- Saved Fittings, with Load/Save/Delete/Reset buttons
- Ability to import Saved Fittings from another spreadsheet (useful when upgrading or for corps)
- Ability to import Character Skills from another spreadsheet (useful when upgrading or for corps)
- Weapon Stats on the main screen
- Skills and Characters sheet, allowing to save multiple characters, as well as preset ones such as "All LVL5"
- Online version check to inform you when the new version is available
- Same layout as the in-game fitting screen UI
- Advanced Fitting Tool mode, showing all calculations from base, after skills, after mods, after fitting, and the rounding.
- Skills effecting your Dropsuit, Modules and Weapons stats
- Fitting Skills giving reduction in fitting requirements
- Proper stacking penalty calculation
- Proper compounding bonuses
- Indication of invalid fitting
- Total cost of fitting
- Accurate base data: market info data shows some values rounded only to 1 decimal place, whereas when you own the dropsuit, you can see the real values up to 2 decimal places. This makes a lot of difference.


Upcoming features
- Vehicles *soon (tm) (after Uprising)

Community suggested features
(When these get moved to "Upcoming", you will know i am actively working on this)
- Calculate character's total SP based on currently configured skills

P.S. Original thread is here:

By the way. Maybe i missed it but is there any way to see the total SP requirement for your char ?

You broke weapon costs again. ^,^

Sorry, not at the moment, although this had been requested a few times. There are several other spreadsheets that do the Skills and SP far better than i could, here and here
Also please note that currently there is no enforcement of skill pre-requisites.

And while we have CPM member attention, could you inquire with CCP regarding Dust API and CREST to help tools such as this? Thank you.

I'm noticing some discrepancies in the CPU/PG of certain items, like the Flux Repair Tool (CPU 24, PG 4 in-game).

Quick question, you sure the grenade CPU reduction is working ? Coz i dont think it is in-game atm.

I don't think the tool is calculating the effect of Light Weapon Operation correctly. I have it at level 3 (-9% Light Weapon CPU Usage) and, in-game, I can fit a Laser Rifle just fine with 2 Complex Shield Extenders, Enhanced Shield Recharger, Basic Armor Repairer, 2 Enhanced Armor Plates, BDR-2 Repair Tool and a Nanite Injector on a Logistics A/1-Series dropsuit (Dropsuit Core Upgrades 4, Dropsuit Electronics 3, Dropsuit Engineering 5). CPU-wise it just fits with no points leftover. Your tool, though, reports I'm overshooting max CPU by 6 points.

Can't provide screenshots, my phone hides it's photos behind some super-secret something-or-other. Anyway, fitting all but the weapon in-game (Complex Shield Extender 54, Complex Shield Extender 54, Enhanced Shield Recharger 60, Basic Armor Repairer 20, Enhanced Armor Plates 20, Enhanced Armor Plates 20, K-2 Nanohive 42, Nanite Injector 15) gives me 276/327. Removing the nanohive drops it to 241/327. It's possible that there's some secret discount taking place on the nanohive and that the weapons aren't really the culprit. Further checking reveals a similar discount on the nanite injector (2 point difference between the fitting total and the displayed total).

As you gave me permission to use your tool, would you mind if I did some reverse engineering? If I can get this to work offline on OpenOffice as it's intended I think I'd like to take the Module, Equipment, and Weaponry and skill prereq elements to write out an automatic skill planner to match a particular dropsuit design.

Then link those numbers into a unique Skill Planner sheet from my own tool and possibly find a way to merge them.

If I have your permission just to work on this and get thinking I'd love to send prototypes your way once I get on it so we can maybe get something together.

Just because it's ONLY a spreadsheet, doesn't mean it can't be the most beautiful and amazing thing ever. Who needs flash applets or website graphics designs? Pfffttth.
