Industrialisms

My wife always is curious about EvE, which I suppose is a good thing (she doesn’t despise it so we’re good there…)

She was always amused by the data, spreadsheets, and voluminous amounts of information that one might need to play the game. Especially when you get into T2 ship manufacturing, keeping track of your sales and build costs is a must to know how much it’s costing you to stay in business and whether those 2 ships you just sold were worth the BPO research, research agents, invention time, building the T2 components, etc.

So I figured I’d post a couple of things I’ve used that I made to help me along. Hopefully it will give inspiration to help you along too if you happen across these documents. They are not copyrighted, and any images or concepts within them as they relate to the game are all property of CCP. I just collected the important stuff together and put it all in one place. You can feel free to download and modify to suit your own needs.

This first one is my pride and joy (as far as you can be full of pride and joy for a spreadsheet full of numbers…). It’s an Excel spreadsheet that I use to keep track of my T2 ship production, currently Caldari T2 craft and mostly Rooks and Falcons. It is currently set for Production Efficiency 4 which is where I’m at, but includes all the build costs from the T1 ship necessary for the T2 hull, to the T2 raw materials for the components. All you have to change is the quantity, and it should recalculate the amounts based on what you put in for the mineral costs. I just create a new tab for each production run, and I also included a simple chart of the prices over time for mins. I’ll be happy to answer questions about it, or would love constructive critical reviews of it as well.

Next up is a Rig Sizing Chart in various document formats. I just made this one at the request of a corpmate who as the latest expansion was released, was sitting in a station ready to buy rigs for one of his ships, and couldn’t remember the rig size to go along with the ship. So I created a real quick reference sheet with ship hulls and cooresponding rig size. A quick and easy way to get the rig size without consulting the EvE Fitting Tool or digging through in-game windows.

Last one is a quick reference sheet I made to help me with remembering important data about the game while I’m in the game without having to dig for it. Especially things like ship types to look out for on gates (dictors and heavy dictors), security status, bookmarking references for creating bookmarks, and what damage types are dealt from the various factions. I’ve included PDF, JPG, and Visio formats (Visio in case you wanted to edit it yourself). I have to give credit to Agony Unleashed for the bookmarking concepts used in the sheet. I printed out a double sided copy and laminated it.

Hope someone will get some use out of them. I certainly enjoyed making them.
