Ship construction calculator?

[Psillycyber]

Hey, I posted this in another thread, but maybe it will get more visibility if I create a separate thread for this question:

Is there any website or anything that has a way of calculating what sorts of ships are possible to build in MoO1?

For example, it would be nice to know if I need to get my weapons and construction tech levels up to level 30 before I will be able to fit a neutron blaster and mark IV computers on a small hull.

What would be nice is a website where you could input all of the variables (tech levels, hull size), and it would tell you how much available space there would be, and how much space each weapon / special component would take up.

Absent that, I would be willing to create an excel spreadsheet myself (and upload it here for everyone else to use) if someone could point me in the direction of where I could find formulae and component values that are used in the game to calculate this.

You can combine it with this to calculate the tech levels - http://www.expertoforion.com/moose/ (developed by form member Zygot)
And if you want in-depth information on the game you can use the manual and especially the OSG.

Wow, thanks rboplayer! That's just what I needed! I figured that something like what I had in mind already existed out there. I couldn't have been the first one to think of it.
