(v0.5.16) Iceranger's Missile and Ship Optimizer

[Iceranger (OP)]

For me the displayed endurance in the ship optimizer is way way off.  I think maybe it's giving the number of hours of endurance, not days?

Do you mean the endurance in the Ship Planner? I don't see endurance on the Ship Optimizer page. A screenshot with the tech/parameters you have used will definitely be helpful. Thanks!

Sorry, yes, I do mean the Ship Planner.  It seems to happen for all the different tech combos I've tried.

Screenshots attached.

Thank you for the screenshots. Indeed there is a bug where days are displayed as hours, and hours are displayed as days

Perhaps Spock was concerned about communicating over an open line 

I am impressed with both the speed of updates, as well as the very small number of bugs for a project of this size and complexity,  keep up the good work Iceranger

v0.5.16 is out. Minor bug fixes and improvements.

https://github.com/Iceranger03/Releases/raw/master/A4xCalc/A4xCalc_v0.5.16.zip

* Fixed a bug where in the Ship Planner, the endurance of the ship is displayed incorrectly.
* Fixed a bug in the bridging hull designer caused by the additional component categories in Aurora 2.0. Before the fix, some components, such as the misc components and mobile repair yards, will be ignored in the bridging hull calculation.
* Improved bridging hull design algorithm so the armor is added gradually. This may improve its ability to find a bridging hull in certain corner cases.
* Improved bridging hull design algorithm so it now may design slightly smaller bridging hulls than before.

Sending love Iceranger's way as I realise how hard it's going to be update the missile optimiser...

It's been so long since I read the changelog that I forgot how many missile changes there is. But yeah, this'll be a fun update.

Yes, this one might take a while. Removing the agility isn't the hard part at all, I already had a version when the agility removal was announced, to show what the missiles without agility could (or could not) do. The tricky part is, with the removal of agility, if I don't include the new missile E-war stuff in the optimization, then there isn't much left to optimize with

Yeah When I realised that it's no longer a tradeoff between 3 variables (warhead, speed, MR), but many different variables I realised I shouldn't wait around for a new optimiser version to come out. I'm anticipating seeing more constraint boxes, where the user narrows things down a bit.
