I highly doubt any automated tool (beyond maybe doing 10 calcs automatically instead of manually here and there) will be of much use. A competent stats team to find any glaring mistakes, and then betas is about your best bet.
Something like, you give an attack fleet (eg, a xan fi fleet), and the tool will automatically go through every anti fi ship seeing how efficient they are etc is quite easy to do... but I'd like to think a competent stats team can grasp stuff like that by looking at the stats themselves
So what exactly would you want this code to do? Baring in mind artificial intelligence in scripts isn't something many people will be willing to code for you ;p
