Some of us with the vision and sense to acquire Macintosh computers are a bit hampered when it comes to designing units for Starfire, since both the Shipyard and Starfire Assistant programs only run on PCs with Windows (yuck!). To help compensate for this, I created the Starfire Ship Construction Spreadsheet.

The spreadsheet will handle Tech Level 1 through Tech Level 7 warships, carriers, bases, and freighters (but not space stations). It assumes the user is aware of the design rules, and has a copy of the rules. The data used is consistent with Starfire, 3rd Edition Revised. This data has been used with the permission of the SDS.

Note: This had not been updated beyond Tech Level 7 because I never needed it beyond that.

The Settlement Priority Calculator is a simple Excel spreadsheet to determine which worlds offer the best economic returns for colonization.
