Galaxy perl script ships.pl From: mckinney@cs.utexas.edu (Durwood Y. McKinney) Date: Thu, 10 Sep 1992 06:29:34 +0000 Well, I tried out the ships.pl perl script -- I have a couple of comments: First of all, your shield calculation seems to be off. Shield value should be (shields) * (cube root of 30) ----------------------------- (cube root of mass of ship) what you are reporting is just shields divided by the cube root of the mass of the ship, right? Also, when I use the -a parameter if I have more than 1 enemy race with ship types, all ships are classified under the first enemy race listed. Anyway, it's still a neat tool and still useful (just multiply the shield strength listed by about 3.1) . Thanks and keep it up! And thanks for introducing me to perl.
