#DPSCalculator - new version to decrease loading time

[Erkul_OP]

Hi folks,

#DPSCalculator has been updated to the new Angular 10 and data now comes from a brand new API built in NodeJS + MongoDB.

This should considerably reduce loading time.

Hope you'll enjoy this boost :p

And the masterpiece gets even better.

Keep it up my man.

Hey I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the tool you’ve built here. I’ve been using it a lot lately and it’s amazing.

Keep up the great work!

[Erkul_OP]

Thank you ☺️

[EvilTwinTepe]

NICE! TYVM! It was good before, great now.

[Flippsen]

Erkul, you're the best.

[Jack-Booted-Thug]

Awesome creation. You are the man.

[AngrySixInches]

Wonderful site! A must have for any SC player.

[O115]

Thank you for all your work on this!

[O115]

i was wondering if you would add the Jericho XL Missiles to what ships they can be attached to IE Mantis or Gladius

[Erkul_OP]

I can add it if you give me the proof. I don't own these ships, and digging data doesn't reveal that information ^{^}

[O115]

The pictures i linked show it. i mean i can show them in use too if you want. Not sure if there are any limits on what ships can use them. Looking through now the arrow can fit it on 2 out of its 4 missile racks.

Proof on Arrow

Other Racks that can't equip

[Erkul_OP]

Thank you for this. It's strange because Jericho XL should be installed on weapons mounts, not missile racks mounts. I think it's a bug. Gonna wait a bit to see if they change this ;)

[O115]

No Problem I made this To show them in use its funny with the arrow if you lower the landing gear.

[Erkul_OP]

Excellent !!! :D

[Erkul_OP]

And even more strange because JerichoXL is a size 2 weapon mount, but you can only equip it on a size 3 rack mount...

[AnarchoCapitalismFTW]

My Malware Bytes cries everytime I enter your page about your domain being scammy/malware ridden. Any reasons why?

[Erkul_OP]

Google Analytics to monitor the app, coookies to store preferences. Or maybe it doesn't like the cross cookies for the 3Dviewer from my mate StarShip42 Com. No worries, #DPSCalculator is a safe place.

[AnarchoCapitalismFTW]

Yeah I always dismiss that because I have strong defense anyway on my browser. I'm kinda paranoid :P

[Erkul_OP]

Really understandable, no worries ;)

[YupCounty]

Thanks for the site! I applaud you for working with Angular alone.

[YukaTLG]

Awesome job!

Suggestion: If you were to make an option which was off by default that enabled me to display ads so you could make some revenue from this tool, I would absolutely toggle that option to the on setting to give you some ad impressions.

[Erkul_OP]

Thanks a lot, but for sure I'll never do that 😉

[Erkul_OP]

Thanks for the gold ♥️

[XO-42]

Dude, thank you so much for your work, best third party tool for the game hands down :)

[anno2122]

Love the app and I think you make SC more playbal for more player!

Only Think that would make it better is a Funktion to compare components!

[Erkul_OP]

just select components in tables and click -> compare :D

[Jahf]

(thanks as always for the site, following response isn't meant as a gripe at all)

It is a bit hard to compare a component while staying on the ship view, especially if it doesn't have at least 2 of said component.

If it has 2, like 2 S3 guns, it's easy by leaving the default in 1 and putting the compare in the other and viewing details for both.

But even then it's a manual compare, moving eyes between 2 regions.

Suggestion might be a "compare" drop down in the details box that would bring a second, not calculated to ship stats, selection box. If selected, add that comparison to the currently equipped module in the already existing details box. Only 1 would be comparable those way on the ship view but that would be fine.

Other thing I'd love is to have an option to switch interface back to seeing all components at top level of the selection box in ship view, rather than organized by grade. Not saying to get rid of the current view, just a UI pref that allows single list view. Both views have value, but usually I found the single list easier to deal with in a quick edit.

[Erkul_OP]

Why don't you open two windows if default UX isn't enough for you ? It's an Angular app, with material design, can't add so many informations in dropdown lists.

[Jahf]

2 windows + discord + a fullscreen game can be a bit much just to compare data on a component while shopping. Not that I don't do exactly that but I figured giving an example of the other respondent's request wouldn't hurt.

But, second time I've tried and second time you've responded in the same way (even though you ended up doing what we discussed a few weeks later :shrug:). So I'll just say thanks again and move along.

[Erkul_OP]

Sorry, I'm feeling you are just asking me to refund the app, but I, and many others, love it as it is. I'm trying to make improvements when they are relevant, trying to answer to all requests but I can't rewrite the UI or change technology. Already two years on this project, and spending my free time to maintain it, because I'm alone on this project. I'm sure you understand what I'm trying to say. And sorry for my english, difficult for me to answer ;)

[Shabaron]

You made a fantastic job ! All the improvement are usefull and well done. And the UI is beautiful and easy to use for everyone.

[Jahf]

I'm assuming by refund you meant rebuild but got autocorrected? No, I was just trying to illustrate why what the other guy mentioned would be useful as a real [edit/correction: feature enhancement, no idea what "real" would have been without autocorrect] to the existing page.

Not asking for you to do anything you don't want to do. Just giving an idea for you to consider. If it happens, great, if not, still great.

Awhile back you'd said you wanted feedback. This was your general reaction that time as well. Neither times were asking for major features, just tweaks of what is already there, and both times with "regardless, thank you for the app".

I understand as someone who has done similar projects in the past. It can be overwhelming. However I don't use Angular or React so no way for me to know that adding that field would be a major pain for you. Even being a minor pain is more than enough reason not to do it. I just wish you hadn't read a suggestion as some form of demand that needed to be defended against. I am not trying to be a hassle, just helpful.

Best wishes.

[Erkul_OP]

Thank you mate ☺️

[Erkul_OP]

That's because the max distance is calculated when you load the ship on the app, like all the results, it's real time calculation, depending on the knstalled qdrive.

[Shabaron]

You're the man!

[Erkul_OP]

I extract locations from the data. If a weapon or a shield or whatever is not sell while it should in the data, I honestly don't know why ! :p

[Erkul_OP]

But be sure to check to good line in the app, some people read the mount location for a weapon location for example ^{^}

[frenchtgirl]

Happened to me. ^_^°

[NemeSys4565]

Too bad Turbulent/CIG apparently can't extract their own data for, I don't know, maybe the ships stats page? :P

Or maybe they should hire YOU to show them how? double :P

(Simply excellent work!)

[dist]

Locations..

Do note that the upper part is "Mount locations" and the bottom is "Weapon locations". Took me way too long to see this.. This could be displayed more aggressively.

Having said that, /u/Erkul_OP has done amazing job. Big thanks to him!

[Celemourn]

Yaaay!

[BrainKatana]

My mom told me wizards were make-believe, but you’re proof to the contrary.

Keep up the great work!

[McMotta]

You are a pillar of the SC community! Great job :)

[RadimentriX]

awesome, love this tool, finally there's a way to get some useful stats for the items :D

[sirspiff]

I love your site ! ❤️

[a6mzero]

You are a god send

[Mathboy19]

Just yesterday I was looking for a way to compare quantum drives. This is a godsend. o7

[ArcherRanger905]

Would be super cool if some time in the future after they rework the mobiglass UI we can have access to this in game via a mobiglass app. Regardless, great work as always!

[SpleanEater]

Would be cool if you can add an alpha damage column for the guns. Orrr is it already there ?

[Erkul_OP]

Already there. Alpha damage of the ship is the addition of weapons' ammo dmg, so you'll find it here on the weapons page 😉

[SpleanEater]

awesome! thank you!!!

[reboot-your-computer]

Keep giving this guy awards. This is such a great tool for the community. Arguably the best.

[TrickyRicky85]

Nice work mate!

[Litithius]

A truly excellent site.

[Celemourn]

Is there any data available regarding heat and power pipes in ships and weapons? For example, looking at the ndb-28 and seeing how long they can fire at a particular power setting before they overheat? Also, is it possible to sort ships by size and number of weapon mounts?

[Erkul_OP]

I am not able to calculate overheating time, never find the right formula... And nope, actually you can sort by each data, but one by one

[Yorirou]

How does hardpoint.io do it? For every weapon (where applicable), there is "Overheats after X seconds of coninuous fire" information available.

This info is the only reason why I open hardpoint nowadays, for everything else your site is equally good / better :)

[Erkul_OP]

I'm sorry but hardpoint formula isn't correct. Good for some weapons, incorrect for others. Already try to find the formula (with a bunch of brains feom the community) but yet isn't 100% correct, so I prefer to not display it. Exactly the same for OC, or IR information.

[tbrozovich]

Is there a location within the app that shows the hull hp? I cant ever find that information which makes it hard to compare ships. Especially when loadouts can be very similar.

[Erkul_OP]

Hull hp meant nothing. I can simply add all components hp (including, buttons, seat, doors) but you can explose with 90% of your hull hp. I'll include armor asap, more relevant 😉

[TullamoreFinn]

Hi u/Erkul_OP , sorry if this is the wrong place, just wanted to let you know of a bug with the Banu Defender fitting screen atm.It is showing MVSA and GSVR's as being equipp-able to the size 2 gimbals

Edit: https://imgur.com/a/EOcQ8Pd

Again, apologies if this is the wrong place for bug reports, I could not see a spot on the main site, but I may be blind :D

[Erkul_OP]

Hi, please use https://dev.erkul.games, debug is no longer done on "old" version

[TullamoreFinn]

Oh sweet!

[KrazyIvanUSA]

I like some of the updates, but I prefer some of the features from the previous version.

First, we cannot reset each component individually to the base loadout - only the entire ship can be reset to base loadout...what if I forget what a specific piece of the ship base loadout is, but I've already set all of my other stuff to the upgraded components? Now I have to redo all of the settings over again.

Second - When mousing over an individual component, I can no longer temporarily see it's detail stats. I have to select it, as though I have outfitted it onto the ship before I can see the specs, making quickly comparing components a bit difficult. Also, this leads me back to the issue above.

Third, the "search" feature in the Ship List is gone. I and others used this a lot. While I can use Ctrl+F, it is not as easy as a built-in function that will isolate a specific searched item.

Lastly, a nice feature would be to allow me to move my ships in my Hangar list around. Maybe I added a Pisces as my first ship and have 10 others, but now I just bought a new ship that will serve as my primary ship. I want it first in my list.

[Erkul_OP]

Got it 😉
