No worries. I just noticed on the list of links you had that there is an 07 version available.

The Excel '07 version is essentially just the Excel 2000 version with the Macros stripped out.

Open Excel (but not the Spaceships spreadsheet) then go to Tools -> Macros -> Security -> Trusted Sources (at least, that's where it's located in Excel 2000)

And remove Eric B. Smith as a trusted source, which will cause the Macros dialog to reappear when you open the files.

Ah, that worked, thanks.

Oh, and I if didn't say it earlier. Thanks for putting this up here, makes it much easier to whip up ships quickly.

Eric, this is fantastic! Thank you so much!

I have two tiny little feature requests
  1. For the Habitat section, can there be a dropdown for "Open Space"?
  2. Can there be a note somewhere for number and size of Airlocks?

Thanks again!

The Excel 2007 version are also in the Office Open XML format which are about 1/6 the size of the Excel 2000 version and about 1 1/2 times the size of the OpenDocument version for OpenOffice.org. Both are basically a collection of XML files ZIPed into a larger file, but they work in different ways and, I suspect, use different quality ZIP routines.

Little glitch I found: If you select the "Engine: Ram-Rockets" option, it increases the cost of several major non-engine systems (so far I've found it affects control room, weapon batteries, and power plants).

Edit: If possible, not having conventional weapon batteries (guns and missiles) count as requiring power points would also be appreciated.

Currently, Guns & Missiles subtract from the total Power Points Used as calculated in the top section of the ship. I wanted to have them remove the Power Point notation from the Weapon Battery system, but that was just not practical.

I'll look into the Ram Rockets thing when I get a chance, but I've been busy as hell with real life lately.

I thought at least the missiles (which I use more often than conventional guns) did remove the Power Point used at the top.

Edit: Yeah, both missiles and conventional guns use zero Power Points correctly.
