When you click the SAVE button, the current battle data will be stored on the server. If you are logged in on the site, the saved calculation will also contain your username. This personalised information will never be shown outside your personal page. To any other person this will just look like any other calculation. Other that this and the calculator counter (bottom of the page), there is no storage or usage of data. The data will NOT be mined in any way. Cookies are used to store your preferences only.

At the start of each round, all usernames which have not logged in for more then 40 days will be deleted.

This is a new development in the battle calc. It is open for EVERYONE. It is still in development and will currently only save your personal calculations for retrieval. This will be expanded with extra functions.

All calculations will be saved for the duration of one round, including havoc. If this causes the DB to grow too much, I will set some limit, like 3 days or so.

The Calculator uses the same calculation algorithms the game Planetarion uses. The battle log will round the numbers for easy reading. UPDATE FOR R19: The EMP shooting (Cath freeze ships) are now slightly randomized. LCH bcalc has the formulas incorporated, but in real battle, the results may vary with small numbers of ships. The more ships, the better the prediction

Coded by []LCH[]Remy, gfx by []LCH[]Teas, Tested by many of the PA Community (special tnx to Acers)

A

Yes. Errors, bugs, suggestions are always welcome. You can reach me on IRC network irc.netgamers.org #lch. You can also mail me at 'remy at lch-hq dot org'

A

No. However, when I'm no longer interested in Planetarion, I will probably make it open source in some way.

In general, anything that is in the format <shipname> <count>
This includes Unit scans, Fleet scans, manual entry and pastes from IRC
The pasting of fleets from the MISSIONS page is now also accepted

You can supply ship amounts by supplying parameters in the URL. An example:

http://bcalc.lch-hq.org?spider_d_0=100&harpy_a_0=50

Use the following syntax:

• start with http://bcalc.lch-hq.org?
• for each attacking ship, add: shipname_a_0=number (example spider_a_0=100)
• for each defending ship, add: shipname_d_0=number (example pegasus_d_0=55)
• Chain ships with the & character (example: spider_a_0=100&pegasus_d_0=55)
• Shipname that contain spaces can be added without the spaces, or with the spaces replaced by _ (underscore),
  for example http://bcalc.lch-hq.org?blackwidow_d_0=80
• Roids must be added like this: roid_d_0=10.
• Structures must be added like this: structure_d_0=45
• Shipnames are case insensitive

The way you can supply parameters is compatible with the bcalc from visionhq.org

When pressing ENTER, the Options bar moves up/down (acts as default button)

Options bar is misaligned when at the bottom (Firefox)

When entering pastes with numbers with , in it (000-seperator), the numbers would be sometimes parsed incorrectly

You can add/substract fleet to an already existing amount by using + or -

Retrieved calculations are now immediately calculated. Report stuff please if something doesnt work as its meant to

I am now working on a system so people can manage their own calcs. This will take a while. You can use it already, in its most basic form

Atrget ALL, what was used for Post R18 speedgames, was coded already. Now also included R19 old-style EMP Resistance/Guns combat style
