As usual, the 5th Element tools have been updated for r18.

The bcalc was updated yesterday (and bugfixed today), the parser should have kept working as it should.
The usual addresses:
http://bcalc.5th-element.org
http://parser.5th-element.org

I'd also like to announce our new bcalc in testing on
http://beta.5th-element.org
Bug reports go to aragno

The 5th -element techie team,
Wandows, TheShadow, aragno and Altor

Wohooo! Now I don't have to use Thruds anymore since I really hate it

Thanks Altor|away

lol thruds is the single most ugly battlecalc ever.

i always used http://bcalc.5th-element.org/ over thruds when DC'ing as i found it a much better battlecalc for speed and good looks

Yeah, I find that much faster since you only have to press TAB once to go down in ships. Faster to add or remove some ships.

could you please change the layout of the battlecalc, its utterly crap. loved the old layout, now its even worst then thurd. And im forced to use that. Even though i love the new future's on the sites. Keep up the good work (and remember what i said bout the layout)

If you don't like the work they did then don't use it

There are other calcs out there so there will be one you like.

Great work guys

If you're talking about the layout of http://bcalc.5th-element.org, I can't quite follow, as it has been the same for like umm... 5+ rounds?
If it's about the beta layout, afaik there's a skin for it that has the same layout as the 'classic' bcalc...

I've used thrud for rounds now and have had no trouble or discomfort reading it. (I also think the beta calc above looks a great deal like the thrud calc.)

That said, its always nice to have options, so thanks for developing battle calcs.

Stop having a go at Thrud's. He put a hell of a lot of effort into that battlecalc, as well as creating the first calc that clearly showed what XP you would get from your attack and whether or not it was worth landing. The guy deserves a hell of a lot of respect, and you should be ashamed of yourselves.

And personally I used Thrud's, because it was (and still is, I expect) the best around. It's also a hell of a lot prettier than that beta calc (no offense to Altor though).

Furball, we have the right to express ourselves and we also do have an opinion. If you like the idea, fair enought. If you don't, tuff shit.

Not like anybody is trying to insult him or anything, I just simply do not like it.

Sorry. With my IQ, english skills and the fact that I'm so ****ing tired, I didn't get your point. Could you tell your point in an easier way so that a twat like me could understand it. :/
