Yep great work! That's what my players will see when they ask for astrogation rolls, especially when they have hurry for the jump... "Calculate your route using your computer, then roll, meanwhile the TIEs are close enough to fire their cannons.."
Thanks!!

At some point, when I clear my desk of my current projects (which are actually growing in number, rather than diminishing Confused), I may try my hand at updating the Nav Computer. The ideas that I have for such an update are:

1) some more systems and routes
2) an astrogation difficulty calculator and dice-roller
3) Concept pages explaining what (IMO) astro-navigation is all about, and what its complexities are (and how these are modeled/simplified by the website.)

Are there any other things that you might find interesting? Are there particular patches of space that you think should be included? Also, are there particularly glaring errors that I should fix?

Please be aware that I am an amateur. Yes, it would be nice to have a visual layout of the route that is taken, or even a listing of systems being passed through. But, I just don't know how to do that.

Anything added is just a bonus, IMV. I love the program and have used it regularly, as it's a great resource for our game. Thanks so much again for it, Mikael! Very Happy

And those of you who haven't played around with it, I highly recommend giving it a spin! Smile
