T20 Shipyard software

[rogermccarthy]

Does anyone know of any T20 shipyard software similar to Andrew Moffatt Valence's excellent High Guard Shipyard?

For that matter anyone know if Andrew has plans to update HGS to T20 given that they seem very similar.

As far as I know, HGS handles T20 as well, atleast in the newer versions.

v1.13 has buttons to select HG or T20, but they're greyed out.

Yeah - I noticed the greyed buttons too - thus my query.

Try v1.14 (a beta version) in which the T20 functions are active.

There is a file named Hgs.zip which is v1.13b1, and a file named HgsBeta.zip which is v1.14b23.

I've used the v1.14 for almost two years without problems. I'm hoping Andrew will get another version out sometime soon.

Thanks

I had the old one, just didn't know where the beta w/ T20 capabilities was...

On the right hand side of my T20 Downloads page are some software downloads, including the T20 Starship Design spreadsheet v1.8, which you might also find useful.

Actually in the old version of the HG Shipyard if you load a T20 design it stays in T20 and you can work from there.

However the T20 set in HGS isn't as accurate, at least when I messed with it, as Falkyn's Spreadsheet. Further the HGS output isn't T20 friendly. At least the old version I have. I started using Falkyn's excellent spreadsheet and never looked back.

1.9 hasn't been released yet Falkyn?

Falkayn's spreadsheet is excellent. I design all my ships using it. Highly recommended
