Today, while calcing some fairly large waves, I made the mistake of leaving out defender value/score, because I was in a hurry. It was later pointed out to me that the bcalc assumes maximal salvage for defenders without values/scores.

This is retarded.

For all other information, the more I put in for the defenders, the better the calc becomes. But for salvage, it's exactly the other way around. If I forget some information, the calc looks much better than it really is. It forces DCs to waste precious time filling in every minute detail of a calc.

Suggestion: change it so that if planet values/scores are left out, minimal salvage is assumed. You can always add it later and get a pleasant surprise, while the other way around is much, much worse.

P.S. if you cared to know, it turned out ok, they just recalled!
