Option (check box) to automatically scrap any modules at or below your tech level that result from scrapping a ship. This way you don't have to manually go through the resulting pile of components and scrap them all individually.

I've added a button to scrap all components, except for those you have researched and are not obsolete and those that can be disassembled.

If so, I can probably work out the general case formula from there.
(Not, like, over a lunch break. But eventually.)

I looked into this a while back while contemplating better ship navigation. You might find the code helpful. As described in that post, I found a formula for the distance between the ship and the target planet given the timestamp. Handling moons requires a different formula for moons than for planets, another for moons of moons, and so on. Luckily computing the derivatives using a CAS is but a moment’s work.

Will it be possible to unload prisoners into a colony and then take them from there and transport them to another colony?

Please post any comments in this thread.

It displays the rank of a formation's current commander, I assume it stands for "Assigned Rank".
